As part of the destination-wide SeaSational Summer campaign, an inspired calendar of immersive events continues to unfold across the Maldives, inviting guests to connect more deeply with the islands through culture, cuisine and craftsmanship. Among the most anticipated highlights is the 2026 return of the Tastemaker Series at The St. Regis Maldives Vommuli Resort, a programme that brings globally celebrated talents to one of the Indian Ocean’s most captivating private island retreats.
Following an elegant January residency by Chef Gianluca Renzi, February shifts the spotlight to pioneering artistry in both mixology and winemaking, further cementing the resort’s reputation as a refined cultural hub where creativity and excellence converge.
The month begins with an exceptional bar takeover at The Whale Bar led by Felice Capasso, crowned World Class Global Bartender of the Year. Known for his expressive and boundary-pushing approach to mixology, Capasso will introduce guests to a thoughtfully curated cocktail experience that blends storytelling, technique and innovation. His takeover will be followed by an immersive masterclass, inviting participants to explore the deeper narrative of spirits, flavour architecture and contemporary cocktail craftsmanship, all set against the sweeping ocean panoramas that define the resort’s signature sunset venue.
Shortly thereafter, the focus turns to the storied vineyards of Burgundy as Romaric Chavy of Domaine Chavy-Chouet brings generations of winemaking heritage to the Maldives. Representing one of Burgundy’s most respected family estates, Chavy will personally host an exclusive wine tasting and curated dinner experience. Guests will be guided through a nuanced exploration of terroir-driven expressions, discovering the elegance, minerality and depth that have long defined this celebrated French wine region.
Together, these February residencies promise rare, intimate access to two masters of their craft, transforming evenings at The St. Regis Maldives Vommuli Resort into moments of cultural exchange, sensory discovery and refined indulgence.
Through the continued evolution of its Tastemaker Series, the resort reaffirms its commitment to curating limited-edition experiences that elevate the seasonal escape, where world-class talent, island serenity and bespoke hospitality meet in perfect harmony.
