Thursday 6th of May 2021

Unrivaled relaxation, dazzling tropical beauty, and an eco-conscious setting offering limitless serenity, the St. Regis Maldives Vommuli Resort is the epitome of blissful holidays in the whimsical destination of the Maldives. In addition to the many high-end amenities, facilities and experiences offered on the island, the esteemed culinary delights are the ultimate cherry on top!

Boasting an elegant collection of six restaurants and bars, the excellence of a multitude of cuisines playfully teases the taste pallets of guests on a regular basis. Such admired art must be loved over by an equally passionate foodie, and taking the throne at the resort most recently is Chef Pedro Samper. Backed with over 20 years of experience from around the world, Chef Pedro will oversee and elevate the resort’s already distinguished culinary scene.

Known for his mastery with Spanish and Basque cuisine, Chef Pedro incorporates the latest trends and concepts into his food presentations, making his techniques an industry-leading skill set. This will be seen in the new mouthwatering menus now offered at the resort devised with a delightfully vast variety of seasonal ingredients.

After years of perfecting his passion and enthusiasm in the kitchen in some of Spain’s best Michelin Starred restaurants and luxury properties, Chef Pedro made a continental leap from his home-country to the culturally diverse and exciting Asia. He has trained under the wings of culinary masters Chef Yamamoto and Chef Honda who are both decorated with multiple Michelin Stars.

After taking over Tokyo and Hong Kong, Chef Pedro most recently worked in Kuala Lumpur. His move to the exclusive paradise of St. Regis Maldives Vommuli Resort is bound to add to the elevated sophistication in the immersive gastronomical offerings of the resort.
