Filitheyo Island Resort

A Wonderful Family Holiday at Filitheyo Island Resort Our stay at Filitheyo Island Resort was truly special, and we will take home so many beautiful memories from this wonderful island. From the moment we arrived, we fell in love with its natural beauty, lush greenery, white sandy beaches, and crystal-clear turquoise water. It really feels like a little piece of paradise. One of our favourite experiences was snorkelling on the incredible house reef. Being able to see sharks, sea turtles, manta rays, and so many colourful fish in their natural environment was absolutely amazing. Every time we entered the water, there was something new and exciting to discover! What made our holiday even more memorable was the kindness of the staff. Everyone was so friendly, warm, and helpful, always doing their best to fulfil our wishes and make us feel welcome. The restaurant was another highlight, with a very diverse menu and delicious food throughout our stay. We would especially like to thank Hasan, the lovely and attentive sous-chef, for the wonderful meals and his kindness. His efforts made our dining experience even more enjoyable, and we truly appreciated everything he did.

First time visiting the Maldives which has exceeded all expectations. We are staying in a water villa which is a dream come true as such a beautiful authentic island. The house reef is amazing, first snorkel swam with a turtle and also seen an octopus and eagle rays as well so many colourful fish. The staff are very friendly and make you feel so welcome adding to the overall experience. Also the food is outstanding with an amazing selection each day. The head chef is so passionate about the food he produces for the guests. Will definitely recommend this island to friends as it is also a great recharge away from the hustle and bustle of our busy life at home.

Beautiful pristine island about 50 min flight south of Male with 2 stops at hotels on the way. We were perfectly taken care of after landing at the airport and the check-in and transfer to sea plane terminal was super swift. The island is gorgeous with lots of palms and other trees. I’m staying in Villa superior located under palms right on beautiful long beach with direct access to nice house reef with abundance of all different kinds of fish ideal for snorkelling. The room is super clean. The food at the restaurant is great and all the staff is super helpful, accommodating every wish. I will definitely come back when I go to Maldives again.

A quiet island with a nice reef ideal for snorkeling. Spacious clean rooms, friendly staff and excellent food.

A small boutique island that’s all about tranquility and quiet - when we visited the island was only around 25% full. The good: * The resort lives up to the quintessential Maldives experience of white coral sand, blue skies, lush tropical forest and no shoes * It doesn’t try to be manicured - all the buildings sit naturally within the islands flora. * Whilst there are excursions available and some activities, there’s no Entertainments team drumming up business daily - you’re here to relax on your terms. * The food at the main restaurant buffet is fresh and delicious, refreshed often each session and offers great variety. It’d be nice to know what’s sourced locally from the Atol (like the amazing reef fish) and what’s imported. * Toilets both in your room and in the public areas are kept spotless * There are *NO* single use plastics on the island - glasses (including the plastic ones) are all washed and re-used. Sodas all come in recyclable cans. The not so good: * If you’re not all inclusive, expect a hefty bill at the end of your stay - $4 for a glass of soda is at the cheap end of the menu. * There’s clearly pressure on staff to ensure everything tallies up so you’ll be signing a tab after each visit to a bar or restaurant - even if you’re All Inclusive. * Scuba diving is on the expensive side too - best to pre-pay for a block of dives, but do expect to have an extras bill at the end as well.
