Haven’t been to the Maldives but have been to Tahiti and the Seychelles. I have the same mindset, all tropical beaches are pretty much the same. Anse Source d’Argent on the the island of La Digue was gorgeous but you only spent an hour there on a tour. Beaches on the main island of Mahe, Seychelles overall weren't more impressive than beaches of Moo’rea or Bora Bora. Seychelles is worth a visit but if you’re going just for beaches, stick with French Polynesia.
