In episode 115 of World Travel Made Easy With Itinerary Boss, we dive into Maldives travel on points with Carissa Rawson, Director of Travel and Marketing at Rove and veteran points and miles expert. If you have dreamed of an overwater villa but worry about cost, this conversation breaks down a clear path using points and miles to get you there.
Carissa shares why the Maldives keeps delivering wonder, then maps the real strategy: position to Doha, Dubai, or Europe for business class award space, buy a short hop to MLE, and use hotel programs where the value shines. We cover Hilton Aspire’s uncapped free night, fifth night free with Hilton and Marriott, Hyatt sweet spots, elite breakfast benefits, and how all inclusive vouchers can control food and drink costs. You will also learn when to choose Park Hyatt vs Waldorf Astoria, how to think about seaplane transfers, and what a realistic Maldives budget looks like once you arrive. Ready to turn your points into sunsets and snorkeling?
