They also released dates for award booking starting 09/01 all the way to first week of January. Seems like a steal at Cat 5 and a great use of a free night certificate. In comparison, the LM in Bora Bora undergoing renovation is a Cat 7 and was previously a Cat 8. Hell, there’s even a LM in Dubai at cat 7.

Standard award is for beach bungalow or sunrise overwater Villa. Cannot apply SNA at the moment. Seaplane transfer is $420 RT pp all in.

Some of the staff’s LinkedIn shows previous experience with some luxury properties in the Maldives like WA, W, and StR. Wonder if the intention is for the property to be the “budget” Marriott option like the Sheraton or closer align with the Westin.
