I transferred some MR points to HHonors (1 to 1.5) and used it to stay at Conrad Maldives. In peak season the rate (including tax) is about $1,500 @ Conrad. A 4 night redemption = 170K (for VIP) or 145K (for AXON7) or 200K at full redemption rate. The best deal will be at 145K (about 97K MR points) HHonors points giving you about $6,000 value for 4 nights.
There is a Holiday Inn (a Priority Club property) in Maldives that is not in the same league as the Conrad but it is another option as MR points transfer 1 to 1.
