Male’, Maldives – 11 February 2026 – The St. Regis Maldives Vommuli Resort has announced an exciting partnership with LUX Tennis, enhancing its already distinguished sports offerings for guests of all ages. This collaboration will build on the resort’s renowned tennis programme, with a new padel court set to complement the experience, underscoring the resort’s commitment to active luxury.
Rooted in the legacy of the Astor family, founders of the original St. Regis New York, the St. Regis brand has long celebrated sport as a hallmark of refined leisure. Tennis, in particular, became a symbol of elegance during the Gilded Age, reflecting a lifestyle centered on culture, hospitality, and recreation—a tradition that continues today across the St. Regis portfolio.
Set against the stunning Maldivian island backdrop, the enhanced LUX Tennis programme brings world-class coaching and personalized sessions to the resort. Guests of all skill levels can enjoy bespoke clinics, family-friendly matches, and private coaching with internationally acclaimed professionals. Confirmed visiting players include former world No.1 and three-time Grand Slam champion Angelique Kerber (March 29–31, 2026) and Spanish tennis star Feliciano López (May 16–17, 2026).
The programme is designed to fit seamlessly into the luxurious island lifestyle, offering flexible sessions alongside beach relaxation, spa treatments, and fine dining. From junior-friendly coaching to advanced sessions for experienced players, the initiative ensures every guest can enjoy an inspiring and accessible tennis experience.
The St. Regis Maldives Vommuli Resort offers 77 expansive beachfront and overwater villas, each with a private pool, alongside the presidential John Jacob Astor Estate—the largest overwater three-bedroom villa in the Maldives. Guests can also indulge in the award-winning Iridium Spa, dine across six distinctive restaurants, or charter a private yacht for an unforgettable experience on the island.
Founded in 2017, LUX Tennis partners with more than 45 luxury resorts worldwide, delivering elite tennis, padel, and pickleball experiences. Led by Joan Soler and Tony Rajaobelina, the company collaborates with top ATP/WTA professionals and VIPs, offering bespoke coaching and events, including its signature LT Star Events featuring the world’s leading players.
