The St. Regis Maldives Vommuli Resort Announces Collaboration with Fann Art Therapie for a Unique and Enriching Family Experience

The award-winning St. Regis Maldives Vommuli Resort is pleased to welcome Fann Art Therapie, a Singapore-based art collective renowned for their captivating string art and mandala creations, to the exquisite property from August 20-23, 2024. Families staying at the resort will have the exclusive opportunity to participate in a series of workshops, fostering creativity, bonding, and a deeper connection to calmness, surrounded by the Maldives’ natural beauty. 

Throughout a series of workshops, Fann Art Therapie invites guests to immerse themselves into the world of art and expression through string art and mandala creations. The four-day residency will cater to all ages and skill levels and will take place throughout the property. In addition to the workshops, unique creations from Fann Art Therapie will be on display throughout the resort giving guests the opportunity to view the works of art up close and learn from the artists themselves. 

Fann Art Therapie was conceived in February 2018 by the founders Zechai Kee and Leow Yee Yng with the purpose of getting people to reconnect with themselves and their relationships. Fan Art Therapie emphasizes the process over product and encourages people to express themselves through art. During their workshops at the resort, they aim to provide guests an avenue to destress, disconnect, and discover.

About The St. Regis Maldives Vommuli Resort

The St. Regis Maldives Vommuli Resort, which opened in November 2016, is nestled on a private island in a secluded Maldivian atoll, amidst thriving marine life. Just 40 minutes from Male by seaplane, guests are transported into a newfound paradise in the Dhaalu Atoll. 

The resort draws inspiration from nature itself. Designed by WOW Architects | Warner Wong Design (Singapore), the unusual contemporary design of The St. Regis Maldives Vommuli Resort draws inspiration from the natural setting of the resort. This is represented by the manta ray shaped lagoon villas, a signature bar in the shape of a whale shark, a lobster-inspired spa and a spiral shell shaped library.

There are seven distinct dining venues, including two Asian specialty restaurants featuring Eastern haute cuisine and Japanese style Kaiseki cuisine, an international restaurant that offers cuisine spanning from Asian to Western flavors, an underground wine cellar, a shack style restaurant, a signature overwater bar that rolls out stunning views of dramatic sunset, and a restaurant located inland amongst the tropical gardens featuring middle eastern cuisine. Guests can also enjoy the Iridium Spa, which presents six overwater treatment rooms, including two that are dedicated to healing Ayurvedic treatments, and a Blue Hole pool which contains seawater with different water jets – a system with proven benefits to the body.
