HELP! AA and/or Capital One for Maldives redemption?

A friend mentioned had a good experience getting guidance from savvy FT’ers regarding optimal mileage redemption on here so figured I’d see if any of you can help. Trying to get from US (ideally Chicago or Detroit but other east coast hubs work too) to the Maldives. Dates quite flexible - ideally Jan through March, 2021. 2 adults, Business Class, not loaded with miles so looking for optimal redemption to keep as many in the bank for other near term family travel.

Have:
  • 460k AA advantage
  • 500k Capital One
  • also have 60-100k on the other major US carriers but guessing an AA or Cap One transfer is the way to go here.

Strong preference for low/no tax fee surcharges and if possible, a stopover (anywhere) would be amazing.

Any brilliant ideas?
