AS charges alot for EK, so if you dont have an abundance of miles I dont think it's worth it. A 2nd option would be to do return from MLE with EK thru JAL with manageable YQ its 85/135.

80k for J is alot?

The best time is Jan - end of Apr. There are a lot of offers available now to next year.

Does your budget of 5000 USD includes flight tickets?

As you're going to honeymoon, I'd offer to go either to adult-only resorts, like Hurawalhi, Komadhoo. Or to large islands like Hideaway, Kuramathi, LUX* South Ari Atoll.

I think it's a waste of time and money, your flying for 2 days
Better places that are closer to go to

So many nice properties here, has anyone split their stay between 2 properties? I’m specifically looking at transferring from Conrad To Waldorf. Thoughts and advice on this is appreciated. Thanks

Nope. Too expensive.
