I'm currently looking at booking flights with Singapore Airlines to go from West Cost -> Singapore -> Male since those seems to be cheapest. I have the choice to either overnight it in Singapore and arrive in Male around 1:30 PM, or make a tight-ish connection to get to Male at 11 PM the night before. Which would y'all recommend? It seems like everyone is suggested not to overnight in Male if possible, but I wouldn't have much time to actually do anything in Singapore anyways... suggestions?

If you overnight in Malé, go for the Hotel Jen, free speedboat transfer from and to the airport. 15 minutes each way. The breakfast is very nice, and they can arrange a free guided walking tour of Malé, which is quite nice

Is this for regular OWV? Myself and others have been quoted this rate for GV->SOWV for 2019/2020 peak season. I suppose limited availability close in might have driven the GV->OWV rate higher though.

Was looking for some weather info and found there is a weather station on Magoodhoo about 20km / 13mi north east of Vommuli.

Probably the closest one to the island.
There is another on Kudahuvadhoo about 27km north.

Blue hole experience I believe - basically the world's largest bathtub with an amazing view. I liked it!
