I presume this means there's no way into the lounge either before check-in opens?
The general area of the airport is one big shed (without air-conditioning). Luggage storage room is at the arrival section (next to the tourist info desk), after customs and just before the greeting area. You will need to go against the "flow" of arriving passengers; the guards will allow you through if you let them know you want to use the storage facility.
Great. Any idea about costs, opening hours etc of the storage room?
Q3 I must admit I enjoyed my "super" cup noodles at the airport lounge more than my curry dinner in town. From your resort, take the last boat/seaplane back to Male to minimise your time there.
Yeah, I haven't heard anybody say a good thing about Male town yet, but after half a year in India my expectations aren't too high...
