If you are looking for heaven on earth - the St Regis Maldives is the only place to go. From the minute we arrived at the airport, Unoo made sure we were extremely comfortable and gave us a run down on what to expect on the island. After landing by Seaplane, Vincent and his staff were there to meet us, and were unbelievably accommodating - they made us feel like we were family. Our butler, Abanoub (who I don’t have enough words to describe how incredible he was), immediately gave us island orientation and was always available. He didn’t let us lift a finger the entire time we were here. From arranging dinner reservations, to Spa treatments, to Scuba diving, he was always there for us on a moments notice from first thing in the morning, until we went to bed. It was service unlike anything we had ever experienced - and likely will not experience until we come back (he also had a wicked sense of humor)! If you get the chance to come, you should definitely ask for Aba as your butler. We often came back to our beach villa to incredible displays of honeymoon themed flower artwork and other treats from both Aba and our amazing villa attendant, Maufooz, who always greeted us with a smile on his face and ensured our space was pristine, several times a day. Our favorite meal was at the Middle Eastern restaurant, Cargo, and we loved doing drinks at Whale Bar to watch the sunset before our dinner reservations, where Oka and Usam were always there to greet and chat with us while we were dining. They were both amazing representatives of the St Regis brand, and made us feel like we were at home with friends. We would be remiss not to mention some of the other incredible staff that made this experience once-in-a-lifetime for us. The amazing staff we dealt with at Alba every morning for breakfast: Novi, Afrah, and Zaina. Our lunch-time favorites at Crust & Craft: Sam, Shifaz, and Irfan. The amazing women at the Iridium spa: Josie, Windi, Elvira, and Elle, and of course our friendly and knowledgeable dive guides: Adel & Lu. As lifetime Marriott loyalists, we always like to try new things when we travel, and rarely stays the same hotel more than once, but I can say with confidence that we will 100% be coming back to the St Regis on our next trip to the Maldives. I don’t think there is a single thing they could have done to make our honeymoon any better than it was - it was unbelievably thoughtful at every turn, filled with surprises, and a ton of incredible memories. THANK YOU St Regis Maldives for an unforgettable experience.
