Hilton, which already operates the highly rated Conrad Maldives and Waldorf Astoria Maldives is back with another Maldivian resort, the Hilton Maldives Amingiri Resort & Spa, opening July 1st.
The overwater villas found in the Maldives and Bora Bora are the stuff that dreams are made of. You wake up surrounded by the warm ocean which is teeming with incredible sealife. There’s something magical about taking the steps from your villa into the ocean and watching the stars at night.
The Hilton Maldives Amingiri Resort & Spa is located a 20 minute speedboat ride from MLE airport, which will cost $300 for ages 13+, $150 for ages 6-12, and free for those under 6. Many hotels in the Maldives require a much more expensive and longer seaplane, which only operates during daylight hours. On the other hand, those farther flung hotels are also typically more secluded and have better snorkeling and diving.

An overwater villa with a private pool at the Hilton Maldives Amingiri can cost $1,450 per night after taxes:
It can also be booked for 110,000 Hilton points per night or 88,000 points per night for Hilton elites or cardholders on a 5 night stay.
You can instantly transfer 44K or 55K AMEX points into 88K or 110K Hilton points at a 1:2 ratio. At 44K AMEX points, that’s a value of 3.3 cents per point and at 55K AMEX points, that’s a value of 2.57 cents per point.
You can transfer AMEX points from cards like:
- AMEX Blue Business Plus
- AMEX Platinum Business
- AMEX Gold Business Card
- American Express® Gold Card
- AMEX Green Consumer Card
- The Platinum Card® from American Express
- AMEX Everyday Preferred Consumer Card
- AMEX Everyday Consumer Card
Hilton often sells points for 0.5 cents each, though currently they are 1 cent each. Buying 88K points on sale would cost $440 per night, while 110K points would cost $550 per night.

Conrad Maldives vs. Waldorf Astoria Maldives vs. Hilton Maldives Amingiri Resort & Spa?
The Hilton hasn’t even opened yet, but in general Waldorfs are more luxurious then Conrads which are more luxurious than Hiltons.
Witch is better Maldives or Bora Bora? From NYC travel via lax to Bora Bora Bora is easier and more affordable
Better is relative.
It’s rare to find overwater villas with a pool in BOB. It’s also harder to find premium cabin award flights to BOB.
BOB can be a shorter flight and has better views from villas with a mountain view.
There are many other factors as well, but to be fair, I have been to MLE twice, but haven’t made it to BOB yet.
Is shabbos doable in the Maldives had anyone done it?
Sure, why not?
Is there caterer? Is it possible to bring 5 days worth of food including crockpot, hot plate, etc. on the sea plane without anyone causing problems? Trip report link?
You can bring everything besides wine/alcohol, though you will pay some overweight fees if you need a seaplane.

Never got around to writing about my more recent and longer trip to the S. Regis.

Kosher food?
Bring your own?
Some hotels in the Maldives can bring in kosher food if you don’t want to shlep. Email them.
Might be to busy since its so close to MLE. What do you think?
Definitely a bargain for those who bring along children.
Your definition of a bargain is really different from mine!

I plan on visiting the Hilton Amingiri resort in January I contacted them in regards to kosher food and this is what they responded.
All Kosher guests have to be advised to bring their own pan and knife
· If any Kosher guests would like to arrange kosher items, they have to be requested at least 04 weeks before arrival as all the kosher products are imported from abroad and they are not available locally. All items will be charged pre-arrival per day/per meal/ per portion-wise.
· In case a Kosher guest would like to reheat his food and have it in one of our outlets will be charged $ 50++ per person
· In case Kosher guests would like to send their food to reheat through IVD and send it back to their villa they will be charged $ 50++ per person
· In case Kosher guests ask for any items they will be charged as per our a la carte menu.
I booked a one bedroom over water pool villa in January for 110,000 Hilton points a night. However the speedboat transfer will cost $300+%23 tax per person. On the website they currently have a offer for a free transfer for 2. I contacted them and they said it’s only available for paid stays starting at $1200 a night. I was wondering if anyone knows if a free night is considered a award booking or a paid night?
