Seems like Maldives may be crapping most of the things they said before:

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/news/maldives-scraps-expensive-coronavirus-measures/

They may still require a covid test before coming but are not charging for visas or requiring 14 day stays.

The original publication was based on a draft the Maldives government sent to tourism operators and stakeholders for input, and is still busy refining it.

Right so it seems like most of the main issues arent going to happen. Will see when the final policy comes out.

There are another 10k FT members on the same boat as you...
But why not using a free night certificate? I would've use 5 of them... Keep the points for another time.

lets hope its true
Assuming it's true, how soon would you go?

I wouldn't want to get sick on the way / there,  need medical assistance there / quarantine there etc.

You wouldnt want to quarantine in the Maldives? People go there just to quarantine... What better place?
