Rooted in the legacy of the Astor family, founders of the original St. Regis New York, the St. Regis brand continues to draw inspiration from a heritage of sport and refined leisure. During the Gilded Age, tennis became a defining symbol of elegance within the Astor’s social world, reflecting a lifestyle centered on culture, hospitality and recreation. That tradition endures today across the St. Regis portfolio, where classic sporting pursuits remain an expression of the brand’s commitment to sophistication and glamour.

Set against the St. Regis Maldives’ island backdrop, the enhanced LUX Tennis programme elevates the on-island tennis experiences for guests of all ages and abilities through expert-led coaching and residences with internationally renowned professionals.  Guests will have the opportunity to train, play and engage with elite talent through bespoke clinics and on-court sessions designed to be both accessible and inspiring.
