Filitheyo Island Resort

Il posto è veramente molto bello, l'atollo è piuttosto isolato, ha solo questo resort. Inoltre il Filitheyo è circondato dalla barriera corallina, ma organizza anche molte escursioni per snorkeling e avvistamento altri animali acquatici. Ogni tanto peccano un po' di organizzazione, ma sicuramente questo non ha inficiato nel nostro soggiorno. Lo consiglio e io stessa ci tornerei.

很乾凈，很喜歡氣氛

We visited Filitheyo in July a late 60th birthday treat for my Husband . We have to take our holidays at this time of year as my Husband is allocated holidays, we knew this wasn’t the best time to visit The Maldives but as we had been to another island the previous year in May which again isn’t the best time and had glorious weather we were willing to chance it . We arrived at Male to sunshine and 30 degree heat which continued for the whole holiday. The rain we had was in the evening or at night with just a few cloudy days. We were welcomed off the boat with cold towels and smiling faces followed by a lovely refreshing mocktail. We were then shown details of the island any questions were answered and then were given a jet lag neck/shoulder massage. Very much appreciated after such a long journey. What can I say about Filitheyo having already been to a bigger island with lots of restaurants we were not sure if just a buffet would be enough for us,. It was more than enough the food quality was amazing with different dishes and even though we were there for 2 weeks there were no identical days, some dishes were repeated and we were pleased about that with some. The Island is a lovely size small enough to walk around and so well looked after. The rooms are not posh but are kept spotlessly clean and have everything you need. We were in a water Bungalow which was lovely being able to see the fish as we relaxed on the deck but was a little noisy on nights when it rained or was windy. The Sunset bar and pool area was one of our favourite things about the island. The service the pool and the views were great. The house reef was stunning we saw so many fish unfortunately we didn’t see a turtle but the amount we did see made up for it. The thing that makes the Island so special are the staff. Every single member of staff met you with a smile and wanted to make your holiday special. We had few favourites a special Thank you to Mamun who met us each morning with beds ready and 2 iced coffees. Thanks also to Mazin our waiter and Yaish who helped when Mazin was off. What an amazing team you have at The Sunset Bar including Viraj,Mahesh, Dinusha, Raj and manager Hussain. All the staff in every bar and on the whole island were great. The value for money was great with the great food and service at half the cost of other islands . A. Special Thank you to you all at Filitheyo and can’t wait to return. If there was one negative it is the roofs on the Water Bungelows last 5 need replacing and unfortunately the first view you have of the island is those bungalows covered in green tarpaulin which distracts from the beauty of the Island. Hopefully when we return they will be sorted.

We stayed in an overwater villa for a week around the new year holiday. This resort is great. We came away refreshed and full of memories. First things first, this place is brimming with hospitality. We got smiles for miles from our server Mojilu in the dining area, Faruk in the pool bar, Robiul and Akil in the main bar as well as Zuhoor on our Snorkel Safari as well as our housekeeper Kashem. Everyone was lovely and accommodating. The only drawback we had was the menu. It is heavy on the curry. Unfortunately it's our least favorite cuisine. All meals are 70% curry so be ready. However there is a pasta station, fresh salads and some other alternatives for every meal. This one is more preference. As far as the carving station goes; there were meats nightly but they all were lukewarm. That is the only issue ue we had. We did make do with everything else that was offered. The resort has two bar areas and the pool is well maintained with a gorgeous sunset view. The grounds are cared for and the housekeeping includes turndown. We snorkeled off of the water villa daily and we found the dive center to be extremely stocked with excursions. Since we opted for the all-inclusive aspect we did get some complimentary excursions which we used to our advantage. PRO TIP, when you arrive, sign up for excursions at check-in. They can fill up fast if the resort is busy. This whole staff goes above and beyond to make you welcome.

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.

An Island Paradise you must visit ! Everything was amazing! The staff catered to your every need. The food was excellent ! The water villa was superb, overlooking the beautiful reef. What a fabulous memory !
