Diff strokes for diff folks.

People who can't sit still and simply enjoy Hashem's glorious earth can go stir-crazy after 48 hours.

Personally, I'd say minimum 4. I found even 6 to leave me wanting more.

Read; drink; smoke (if you do that); sun tan; enjoy your spouse without distractions; and admire the beauty.

But, I'll admit, the chief things people do there are scuba, snorkel, jet ski, fish, boating, etc.

I'd say 4-5

If you can do two different resorts even longer

Thanks guys!

I wanna leave Motze Shabbos and be back for the next Shabbos. Can I push in a nice Madives getaway in such a short time period?

No. Not unless you wanna do a 48 hours of flying for about the same 48 or so hours on the ground.

Actually, I take that back... looks like you can do EK and have a nice-ish stay of 3.5 days:

Not impossibly, or even impractically tight, but sure.

It's just an illustration. That'd be the absolute max time you'd be able to get in MLE.

Personally, I'd stay for shabbas (as I did). Was glorious, but I understand if a person feels like he needs to have a minyan on shabbas.

Hey I am not up to spend 26K for flights  :( :P

As Joey said, it's a bit to tight for Shabbos, also when I will get there Monday morning won't I be terribly exhausted?

Im sure that saying Nishmas on the purch of a OWB is something not explainable 😊

If you're flying F I don't think you'd be terribly exhausted, and even if you are it's not like your arriving to a full schedule in the Maldives.

Maybe stop somewhere in Europe over Shabbos?

If you can sleep for even a few hours on the flights, you shouldn't be exhausted. Plus, you'll be lounging around, so if you nod off a bit, not a big deal.

I spent shabbos there and enjoyed it just fine.
