OVERALL WINNER
The Whale Bar, St Regis Hotel, The Maldives

The Whale Bar?s distinctive shape recalls the majestic whale shark. This whimsical but elegant retreat is elevated by light-oak interiors and a softly lit neutral palette.

The fish-scale-like timber shingles around the kitchen and smooth iridescent stucco in the ?body? of the whale emphasise the marine iconography.

The venue?s highlight is a ceiling mural that breaks away from the traditional St. Regis wall mural: this masterpiece is made up of five curvaceous oak panels.
The panels have been created using the Maldivian craft of pyrography by Indian artist Maya Burman, using henna-style drawing typically done on hands and feet as an expression of a celebratory moment of joy and gathering.

The installation depicts a father and son discovering a paradise of corals, fish, and plankton ? a celebration of the Maldives? vibrant sea life.

Underneath the mural is the main bar area which is inspired by the form of a sea turtle.
