Best points to use for a Maldives trip
Maldives is one of the most-aspirational points redemptions. Here's the program-by-program math.
All loyalty explainers
Key points
- Park Hyatt Maldives: 30k Hyatt pts/night, the highest-CPP Maldives stay
- Conrad Maldives: 95-110k Hilton pts + 5th-night-free
- Waldorf Astoria Maldives: 110k Hilton pts + 5th-night-free
- St. Regis or Ritz-Carlton Maldives: 100k Bonvoy + 5th-night-free
- Flights: Qatar Qsuite via Doha at 70k AAdvantage one-way is the cheapest premium air
Our honest take
Park Hyatt Maldives is the points-and-miles answer. Conrad and Waldorf are larger resorts but cost 3-4x the points. Pick Park Hyatt unless you specifically want over-water villas with a slide.
Best use cases
First Maldives trip: Park Hyatt + Qatar Qsuite. Honeymoon: Waldorf Astoria + Singapore KrisFlyer.
