The Westin has just announced that they have opened the anticipated The Westin Maldives Miriandhoo Resort, the brand’s first hotel in the Maldives. I did a quick search and bookings are available now starting at $499 per night for an Island Villa and go up much higher from there for an over the water bungalow. Of course you can also use points!
You will need a seaplane transfer to get there:
Seaplane Transfer Information
The quickest transportation to the resort from Velana International Airport (MLE) is via seaplane. Seaplane operates during daylight hours from 6 am to 3:30 pm only. The resort requires flight details at least three days in advance for the arrangement of any seaplane or domestic transfer. Please contact the resort for more information.

The Westin Maldives Miriandhoo Resort features 70 villas and suites, 41 on island and 29 overwater. Each villa is shaped with an eco-friendly double roofing to create the perfect natural ventilation. Outdoor rainforest showers are a distinctive feature. Poised over the sea on stilts and with an area of almost 200 square meters each, the overwater suites are among the largest a resort has to offer in the Baa Atoll region.
