Complimentary Excursion

This island is both magical & amazing. We loved it all from the villas right in the beach, amazing buffet for breakfast, lunch & dinner, the weather was warm and snorkelling. Meet and greet was thoughtful with a cold flannel, refreshing drink and a neck massage from the spa staff, nice touch. Check-in was seamless and then we were showed to our villa. 
We stayed on the south side of the island in a detached villa which had a lovely view of the sea. The beach on the north west side of the island is beautiful. Powdery white sand edges a calm lagoon for swimming and snorkelling. A stroll end to end will take you between 10-30 mins depending on how many times you stop to enjoy the view.Snorkelling here is excellent with easy access to the house reef. Would recommend exits 7 & 8. The corals are still good with little bleaching and plenty of fish including trigger, angelfish and surgeon.
We were also delighted to be offered a complimentary "return to the island" meal at the sunset bar which was excellent and credit must go to all the chefs who produce such quality food each day.We love everything about Filiotheyo and are already planning another visit and a massive thank you to all the staff we met who really make you feel valued.

Amazing experience at Filitheyo Resort

We chose a rustic, natural hotel as we don’t like bling. At first the island hotel seemed a little dated & too rustic but by Day 2 we were in love with the island & everything about it. We had great snorkelling on the house reef (but guests should be told more clearly to NOT snorkel around the back of the water villas round to the pool bar as the currents are VERY strong in that area by the afternoon/ evening). My husband & I refreshed our old scuba skills & joined our 3 young adult kids in their diving course with Irish & Sarah - brilliant, confidence instilling and lovely, lovely people. Previous reports are correct - the current is significant on the house reef (especially in the afternoons) & also on the other dives around the atoll, but with confidence in the dive leader & guide & careful diving with your buddy, dives are enjoyable & often spectacular. We saw many, many fish, sharks & some turtles as well small rays. We stayed in two beach villas, and were initially given a pair far along the beach - somewhere around 129/130 which were back from the sea behind a mesh of bushes & no sand at all. We were able to move villas after one night to better options - in the low 100s, but the better villas are definitely 40s-80s. We enjoyed the pool bar (all inclusive drinks) day time with excellent attentive service from Farouk and after dinner drinks at the sports bar (pool table) with lovely Ravi always smiling, friendly & attentive. Food was good with a great expanse of buffet platters to choose from, hot & cold. Friendly waiters nearby, although our table’s waiter (the youngest in the restaurant), was not so great. With the move of villa’s, we had a lovely, lovely time and great service from everyone. This was our third time in the Maldives, each on a different island as the island hotel concept & safe diving/snorkelling is so magical - we met a German couple on this trip who have holidayed in the Maldives 20+ times! And the last 7, was on Filitheyo. We will definitely return to the Maldives.

Gentle, rustic but excellent if you get the right beach villa

Our trip to the Filithio island resort has been a wonderful one so far. The hospitality of the resort staff is very good... You are greeted with smiling  faces and cheerful good mornings... They are ever ready to help and make your stay the most comfortable one! We travelled with our 7 year old daughter... The staff ensured that she had an extra comfortable bed in the water villa, they kept her entertained during our meal times and showered her with some interesting gifts such as a leaf grasshopper, which she adores and wants to take back home to show her friends!! The food is exquisite with a variety of local and global cuisine. We are from India and the chef ensured that we always  had some variety of Indian delicacies such as aaloo paratha, or Dal fry! Chef Sohail also organized a cooking class for the guests and taught us the recipe of Kuli mass... a local fish delicacy... Overall our trip was a fantastic one with memorable moments all thanks to the lovely staff of Filithio Island resort.

Must visit place ..for a rejuvenating and peaceful family trip

Our 2 week stay in June 2024 was wonderful. The hotel has everything you need for relaxed stay. The rooms are clean, spacious and comfortable with quiet and effective air conditioning. The beach is the best we have visited out of the 3 islands we have previously visited in the Maldives, so is the house reef.  We saw a wide variety of reef fish including, 3 types of sharks and many turtles. The buffet was excellent, the food is varied and the fish cooked to perfection. The staff are helpful and welcoming. There are some mosquitos so make sure to pack some repellant. In short, a wonderful holiday. Great dive school.

Great holiday

We arrived on the Island on 11th July and from the distance we were already starting  to become concerned at the state of the facilities. From the boat we noticed that approximately 5 water villas ( what we were staying in) had bright blue tarpaulin on the roofs, not a great start. The inside of the water villas was very dated and we had several problems with the facilities. Steps into water were unsafe and one totally disappeared overnight. When I moved the sun bed a hole appeared in the wood and went straight through, the toilet flush totally broke and when I was in the bar the arm of the seat totally feel off and landed on the floor. The island needs a total update, everything is very dated and breaking. The hotel food was appalling, we began to dread the time we had to go up there and try to eat something. Everything was bland and no taste. I’m sorry to say but don’t book this  island as this was not the luxury you think you will get but a very dated resort that needs total refurbishment.

In need of total upgrade.
