Marriott has listed and started award bookings for The Halcyon Private Isles Maldives, Autograph Collection. The resort was recently converted to Autograph Collection from Raffles.

Two different category rooms are available for 488k points for 5 nights if you check out before Christmas. December would be the start of peak season, so it'd a good window to travel.

Oceanfront Pool villa (2367 sqft) for 5 nights - $7,697 or 488k points + $1,520 transfer fee

Conversion:
1 to 4 nights - 0.9
5 nights - 1.12

Overwater Pool Villa (2475 sqft) for 5 nights - $9,061 or 488k points + $1,520 transfer fee

Conversion:
1 to 4 nights - 1.1
5 nights - 1.37

All rates are without breakfast. Food is extra, as always! Platinum Elite and higher members can choose complimentary breakfast as welcome gift choice.

488K points for a property that will otherwise cost more than 9K USD is almost 2 Rs conversion right? Or am i getting it wrong?

For any 5 nights from Dec 1 to Dec 24, rate is 488k. $9k includes cost of internal transfer, so you have to deduct that as it'll need to be paid additionally when you book with points.

Oh Ok, Thanks for that explanation. Too expensive for me though. almost 5 L points and 1.4L in Cash for 5 nights. Remains aspirational for me
