Can anyone recommend an easy/good overnight stay closer to the Male airport? We'll be staying at Park Hyatt and have a flight from MLE at 10am. Since we need to do internal flight transfer, we prefer to fly the day before and spend last night within boat transfer distance to the airport. current on the short list is Sheraton Full Moon that we can stay using Marriott points. Anything else that's better option (for cash or otherwise)? Since our flight is so early, we won't be able to really appreciate a very high end resort. just need something comfortable and serviceable.

However, it also depends what time you'll arrive the day before. If it's anything after 3pm I'd just stay locally.

As far as close to Male, Sheraton and Taj are your best bets and actually work just fine for that very purpose.

Eyeing a 5 night trip to the Maldives for 2 adults in their late 20’s/early 30’s for later this summer and I wanted to get some thoughts on resort selection. With a hard total budget set at $18k, I’m finding that the most highly regarded resorts (Cheva Blanc, Velaa, Kudadoo, Nautilus) will just be too expensive for this trip.
For more context, I’ve never been to the Maldives and I’ve done quite a bit of my own research, what I’m seeking is just some differentiation amongst the resorts directly below the highest tier (some of which I’ve noticed would be: Joali, Soneva Fushi, O&O, Patina) I think most of those would fit the budget. No need to be perfectly precise on pricing, but if you were in my shoes, which resorts would you most strongly consider. My priorities are not too specific, just seeking a. relaxing, celebratory trip after a long year of work.
As an aside, I am US based, so given my budget, might you consider a closer destination. the Caribbean, Mexico, or another beach destination and then plan a Maldives trip when the budget allows me to book one of the top properties I mentioned above?
Thank you for any and all input in advance.

My pick would be JOALI from that one down list. Milaidoo is another one you may want to look into.
