Just back from Filitheyo after a wonderful week for our honeymoon in January. It was magical holiday set in a beautiful location and we have so many amazing memories from our stay. If you are used to the formality of 5-star resorts and that little extra level of service, this probably isn’t the place for you. But, the informal and... More

What can I say....It was paradise! I stayed 4 nights on the beach cabins and it was extremely peaceful and beautiful beach. I got up at 5am and walked along the beach, i got to see a beautiful sunrise and seashells. We had a huge tree by our cabin and there was these huge bats that eat the fruits on... More

We have never been to the Maldives before, but Filitheyo lived up to every expectation and beyond. I was slightly nervous after reading reviews on Tripadvisor, but I have to say that our trip was amazing - especially in terms of value for money within the maldives. We stayed in the Superior Double, a semi-detached bungalow on the beach, very... More

We truly enjoyed our stay at Filitheyo Resort. The service was always very professional, beach & grounds very clean, great value for our price. HIGHLIGHTS: - Eating everymeal outdoors, feet in the sand :-) - Taking our shower under the stars was one of the highlights. - Falling asleep on our private lounge sun chairs (no noise or loud crowds)....

This was our first visit to the Maldives. Filitheyo resort is very calm and relaxed.. Though we were told it was 95% booked it didn't feel busy. There is no pressure to buy the excursions or use the Spa, you just sign up for what you want and turn up. Service was excellent. The boat boys clearly love their jobs... More

WE came here for diving which was fabulous. Werner Lau dive centre was superb, very well run, and the tank delivery service to different points of the house reef was excellent. Our room was very pleasant, just back from the sea and our houseboy was charming. Every evening he pleated the sheets into a really pretty shape - a lovely... More

This is our third visit, and it was amazing as ever. something new we have to add: both previous times, the air taxi would just drop us off on a platform in the middle of the ocean, and a boat would come pick us up to take us to Filitheyo (which was really cool by the way) but no greetings... More

We've been to other Maldivan resorts but thought we'd try Filitheyo since it seemed very popular, especially for diving, so thought we'd see why it was more expensive than some of the other resorts (of a comparable star rating) we've been to. First impressions were not great - the seaplane transfer was as good as ever, but when we got... More

It was our second time in Filitheyo. The island is beautiful, the food was fantastic, but ... The service was not excellent and the attitude of some of the staff (as was already mentioned by the previous reviewers) was not up to a standard. The waiter didn't seem to be very keen to do his job or be pleasant. Some... More

We stayed here last month on our honeymoon for a week and didn't want to leave. Since it was our honeymoon we treated ourselves to a water villa and were delighted when we arrived to find that we had the end water villa which was so romantic and had views all around. The service was excellent at this resort and... More
