Looks like the StR Maldives is getting a 66' Azimut motor yacht. Very nice. Thanks to @MikeFromTokyo for the tip.

Hi All,
New to flyertalk, and am thankful to have found this thread with all your insights!
I will be going there late Nov. and I feel most of my questions about the resort has been answered, however, was wondering if anyone had any tips/recommendations on doing visiting Male en route to/from the island?
Were you able to leave your suitcase at the lounge and was it easy to get out of the airport and spend a few hours in Male?
Thanks in advance!

Flight award availability being what it is may have us arriving 3 nights before our stay here (can't change the Vommuli dates as it was booked under an award promo). Is there anywhere close to MLE that doesn't require a sea plane transfer and is worth staying for a few days ?

You could try Jumeirah Vittaveli. 5-star luxury resort, expensive but only a few kilometres southwest of MLE and I think far enough away that you won't be bothered by passenger jets flying overhead which is something you should consider when staying close to the capital.

There is nothing worth visiting male for. It is only good for a one night stopover. Would recommend Sheraton which is around 10-15 minutes speedboat ride. Never stayed there but it looks ok and definitely better than staying on the mainland
