Felice Capasso Brings Award-Winning Mixology to The St. Regis Maldives Vommuli Resort 

The St. Regis Maldives Vommuli Resort will host World Class Global Bartender of the Year 2025, Felice Capasso, for an exclusive Tastemaker Series collaboration on February 4–5, a partnership that reinforces the resort’s stature as a haven for discerning travelers in search of rare craftsmanship and cultural depth.

Situated on a private island in the Dhaalu Atoll, The St. Regis Maldives has long defined a contemporary vision of island glamour. Its iconic villas are among the most sought-after in the Indian Ocean, crowned by the illustrious John Jacob Astor Estate, one of the Maldives’ largest overwater residences, and the graceful Caroline Astor Estate, a tranquil beachfront hideaway. Each estate combines expansive pools, serene living spaces, and horizon-wide views, reflecting the resort’s unwavering dedication to elevated, residential-style luxury.

It is within this refined setting that The Whale Bar—an architectural marvel suspended above the lagoon—becomes the stage for Capasso’s arrival. As twilight descends, the venue shifts into a spirited interpretation of South American vibrancy. Guests gather for Latin-inspired small plates served family-style, pairing them with bespoke cocktails and rare vintages on tap while the sunset washes the sky in burnished gold. In this atmosphere of warm energy and theatrical light, Capasso will debut an exclusive cocktail menu for his bar takeover, showcasing his signature blend of classical finesse and modern imagination.

The following day, guests will be invited to an intimate rum-focused Masterclass, where Capasso will explore the spirit’s storied past, its diverse regional expressions, and the narrative craft that elevates mixology into an art form. His perspective—rooted in precision, intuition, and a deep sense of storytelling—offers an uncommon opportunity to engage with one of the world’s leading talents.

This collaboration underscores The St. Regis Maldives Vommuli Resort’s continued commitment to shaping meaningful cultural moments through its Tastemaker Series. By welcoming innovators like Felice Capasso, the resort continues to define experiences that are immersive, evocative, and unmistakably St. Regis.
