The St. Regis Maldives Welcome Licoreria Limantour To Whale Bar For First - Ever Indian Ocean Pop – Up

The St.Regis Maldives Vommuli Resort, located on a private island, is hosting a special event featuring Licorería Limantour, a renowned cocktail destination in Mexico City. Known for its exceptional cocktails, Licorería Limantour has received numerous awards, including Best Bar in North America and the fourth Best Bar in the World. Guests at The St. Regis Maldives can enjoy a two-night residency with this esteemed establishment, experiencing their expertly crafted drinks in a stunning island setting.

At the St. Regis Maldives, guests will have the opportunity to indulge in a unique and immersive cocktail experience. Licorería Limantour’s team of talented mixologists, led by José Luis León Martinez, will be taking over the resort's Whale Bar, offering guests a stunning view of the private coral reef in the Indian Ocean. Using tropical ingredients sourced from small producers in Oaxaca, the mixologists will create eight handcrafted elixirs that are not only delicious but also visually stunning. Each cocktail is a work of art, meticulously prepared to provide a sensorial experience that tells a story with every sip.




The Mangostan cocktail is a unique blend of vodka, sake, rosé wine, and mangosteen, a fruit known for its sweet and tangy taste. This captivating drink is created using an innovative milk washing technique that clarifies and refines the flavors. Another popular cocktail at Limantour is the Hibiscus, which combines smoky mezcal, floral hibiscus, and zesty lime to create a harmonious blend of flavors. Lastly, the Margarita Al Pastor draws inspiration from Mexico's famous taco al pastor dish, incorporating pineapple, chili, and cilantro for a truly flavorful experience.

Vincent Pauchon, General Manager of The St. Regis Maldives, describes the new Licorería Limantour pop-up at Whale Bar in Dhaalu Atoll as a sensational experience that combines the wild elements of Oaxaca with the natural beauty of the location. Guests can enjoy awe-inspiring sunsets, expertly curated cocktails, and delicious small bites while immersing themselves in the stunning surroundings of Dhaalu Atoll.

During the St. Regis takeover, guests will have the opportunity to learn from renowned mixologist José Luis León Martinez and gain insider knowledge of Limantour's mixology secrets. Martinez, who has been nominated for International Bartender of the Year and received the world's best margarita award, will provide interactive demonstrations and insights at the Whale Bar. This exclusive experience will allow guests to discover the artistry and techniques that have made Limantour a global sensation.

Licorería Limantour, a renowned establishment, has played a significant role in revolutionizing Mexico City's craft cocktail scene in recent years. It has gained recognition and has consistently been ranked among the top 50 Best Bars in the World since.
