Filitheyo Island Resort is a quiet, authentic Maldivian resort situated in the remote North Nilandhe Atoll. The island is a true tropical paradise, with dense jungle foliage dominating the interior, whilst turquoise waters lap at its white sand beaches. With a superb house reef just off the shore, Filitheyo is an excellent choice for keen snorkellers or divers looking for a quiet retreat.
Accommodation at Filitheyo Island Resort consists of rustic villas which are dotted around the island or set on stilts over the water. If you prefer to be on the beach, we would recommend opting for one of the detached Deluxe Villas, which are surrounded by lush vegetation offering plenty of privacy. Of course if uninterrupted ocean views are your priority, there is nothing better than a Water Villa!
Guests at Filitheyo Island Resort can enjoy imaginative buffets at the Main Restaurant or sample the a la carte menu at Sunset Restaurant and Bar, which is located at the tip of the island overlooking the ocean. As the name suggests, this is also the perfect spot to watch the sunset, perhaps with your favourite cocktail in hand! For a special occasion though, it is hard to beat a private dinner on the beach.
The house reef has numerous entry points around the island for great snorkelling and the sea near the water villas is shallow with sandy areas. Filitheyo Island Resort also has an excellent dive school, offering PADI courses as well as a range of water sports. You may however wish to simply relax on the island’s idyllic beaches and enjoy the tropical bliss of your surroundings.
