Thank you all for the replies re seaplane costs. Just wanted to check if there was an alternative but I can see from the replies, there isn't.

They rented the boat for three day (fully crewed, with three meals per day excluding alcoholic drinks) for about $3,000 / 3 days but allowed them to explore some of the smaller / intimate islands between Male and the Conrad. That said, these are one way prices.

RE. the wiki statement about all DBV being renovated by Dec 10 2018, I would take that with a grain of salt. I am currently staying in one on the sunrise side and it has not been renovated nor is there any sign of work at any of the neighbouring villas. Actually suits me as based on the photos I saw, I prefer the older design.
I reckon they will hold off until after high season to resume work on them.

non renovated DBV is a good step-up over the BV, but I guess it all comes down to cost, so ymmv

Not sure if you guys follow Eric Damier on IG but he has been in the Muraka for the last 3 days or so. Check it out, looks as awesome as expected. Some also posted on Earthpix via IG.

Hi, I tried to make a reservation for a special dinner, that was advertised in the Festive Planner. I first wrote an email to Thomas Matrat, but didn´t get a reply. After that I tried the Email of Ali Rauha (both email adresses are listed in the wiki), but also didn´t get a reply. I know it is more than 2 weeks before dinner, but at least I would expect a reply.
Any other email-adresses that I could try?
