If you are staying more than a week in the Maldives or between 10 days to two weeks, combining two islands is just perfect. We would recommend staying in a resort close to MLE airport on your arrival and then opting out for a Seaplane experience to another atoll, or directly fly into one atoll and hire a speedboat or a luxury yacht between two islands.
