Marriott Bonvoy reaches the broader luxury portfolio (Ritz-Carlton, St. Regis, Edition). Hilton Honors covers the aspirational tropical (Conrad Maldives, Bora Bora, Waldorf Astoria).

Bottom line
For luxury resort travel on points, Hyatt is the strongest single program — Park Hyatt and Andaz aspirational properties at 25,000-30,000 points/night produce 2.5-3.5¢/point. For Maldives + Bora Bora overwater bungalows, Hilton Aspire + 5th-night-free + uncapped anniversary night is the strongest combination. For Marriott Cat 8 luxury (Ritz-Carlton, St. Regis, Edition), Marriott Brilliant + Bonvoy points stack works. The combined 3-card luxury stack (Sapphire Reserve + Aspire + Brilliant) at \$1,750 in combined annual fees produces ~\$2,200 in annual credit value + access to the world's strongest luxury hotel-points portfolio.
