Food & Drink

Main restaurant

If you are a lover of different tastes then a meal here in this extravagant restaurant would surely keep your taste buds tickled and yearning for more concussions of sheer exquisiteness by the experienced chefs of Filitheyo Island Resort Maldives.

Sunset Restaurant and Bar

A cold beverage is just what the evening breeze begs for. Here in this bar, you get the best combinational fruit juices and smoothies. The coffee and the mojitos here are truly a specialty in this Maldivian resort. Just watch how the stars begin to gleefully shimmer for the first time after sunset and breathe in the holiday vibe that it gifts you with.

Filitheyo Bar

This bar is close to a Jap style pool area and this is also quite an attractive choice for a simple beverage. If you want to have a special toast, then choose from the best and most rewarding choices from the wine collection. You are sure to be impressed indeed. This is just the perfect place to make memories of a Maldivian holiday worth a cherish!m 16.00hrs to 18.00 hrs.

Transfer

Seaplane

Seaplane transfers are closely aligned with guests’ international flights. However, currently, seaplanes are forbidden to fly between 1800hrs – 0600hrs, and therefore any guests arriving after 1600 hrs will need to overnight in the airport hotel or in Male’.
The seaplanes have a maximum of 20kg per person luggage restriction – an excess luggage fee of US$ 5.00 per kilogram may be charged and is payable directly to Trans Maldivian Airways at check-in.
The carrier does not guarantee to transport baggage on the same flight as the passengers due to weight restrictions.
For any reason if the service provider fails to transfer guests, Filitheyo Island Resort would not be responsible for lost nights, and or overnight accommodation at Male International Airport or any other place. In case of delayed international flight arrival to the Maldives, It’s the guest’s responsibility to talk to their international airline for a refund and/or cover it from travel insurance.
For clients departing the resort where no transfer is available due to force majeure, the resort will endeavor its best to try to find alternative air/sea transportation in order to transfer guests to Male, depending on prevailing weather conditions. In the event that this is not possible, the resort will provide an additional night/stay at the resort subject to availability but a supplement of US$56 per person per night will be charged directly from the guests, which includes accommodation, breakfast, taxes, and service charge. Guests should pay this amount directly to the resort. In the event that a guest room is not available the resort reserves the right to provide an executive room, which is similar to a superior room, however irrespective of accommodation provided during force Majeure supplement of US$56 per person per night will be charged.

Fantastic stay. It was our second visit to the island and not our last

Pros: All meals were really good. Food prepared fresh every day and always hot, Beach was amazing and the rooms very comfortable

Cons: The pool table was charged at $2.99 per game (I dont play pool, it was an observation) and bottled water was only one per room. Extra water charged at $5.00, Water was also charged at the dining table. I think water should be included and this resort is charging a premium rate to stay. Same for the pool table, only a small charge, but really should be included in the price of around $500.00 per day

A beautiful quiet island to relax on

Pros: First of all the organising to get to and from the island by seaplane is excellent. The staff are all friendly and cheerful. The deluxe villa I stayed in (18) was wonderful. The bed was so comfortable, with a mosquito net. I loved the outside shower and the water pressure was excellent. The air conditioning was necessary and did a marvellous job as it was so humid. The villas were placed just enough apart with two sunbeds close to the water to make you feel like you're in your own little paradise. Each villa is allocated its own table in the dining hall with the same waiter to serve drinks and clear the table. It was then a buffet service where you walked around choosing your own dishes from the vast wonderful selection. There was always something I could feast on and the service was very good. I'm not a strong swimmer so didn't really snorkel much but did see some lovely fish. The upkeep of the island to keep it looking so lovely is impressive. Each morning someone would be out sweeping the sand and gathering up fallen branches and leaves. They did a lovely job. I was looking for a quiet few days and that's what I got.

Cons: Everything was as I hoped it would be. Alas I am a magnet to mosquitoes but there's nothing that could be done about that apart from be totally sprayed day and night. The still managed to find parts I hadn't covered! I did struggle with the humidity so thankfully the air conditioning in the villa was superb.

An authentic gem with an amazing reef

Pros: The reef surrounding the island is simply amazing, particularly the exit next to the water villas (nr. 4) and the ones facing north-west (nr. 5 & 6). Just snorkeling we had the chance to see an incredible variety of fishes and corals, we also swam alongside a turtle and sharks a couple of times! Staff is great, always gentle, kind and willing to help and assist. The food is great both in quality and in variety of offer, we really enjoyed our full board selection. We particularly appreciated the lack of "holiday village entertainment" and the authentic look & feel of the island (preserved but not over constructed).

Cons: The water villas should be refreshed - they are a gem but furniture is not well preserved and now quite old. Currently the villas have 3 kinds of roof, with different colors and some feature colored fabrics covering some pieces: it's a real pity as they do not look premium and ruin the overall scenery. I hope they are just temporary. Additionally, extra costs are quite a burden, as rates are high and you even need to pay for plain water even if on a full board service.

Es war schön, könnte aber mit wenig Aufwand besser sein

Pros: Die Insel hat ein wirklich tolles Hausriff bietet schön und zweckmässig eingerichtete Bungalows. Kulinarsch wurden wir sehr verwöhnt und das täglich wechselnde Bufet war qualitativ sehr hoch stehend. Auch die Tauchschule Werner Lau ist gut organisiert und wir waren gut betreut.

Cons: Sobald man in den hinteren Teil der Insel kommt, also ab Tauchbasis liegt dort sehr viel Müll herum. Plastiksäcke, Dosen und allerei Unrat welcher schon ewig da zu liegen scheint. Auch der Pfalnzenbewuchs ist teils sehr ungepflegt und bietet den Moskiots ideale Brutplätze. Um der Mückenplage Herr zu werden, wurde die Insel täglich mit Insektizid grosszügig eingenebelt. Das Management sollte zur Insel mit Pflege etwas mehr Sorge tragen.

Pros: Wir hatten die Villa 119 nachdem wir die Villa 127 verliessen, weil sie sehr abseits liegt. Von der Villa 70 bis Villa 120 hat es einen Sandstrand. Dies gibt es noch bei der Villa 1 - 30. . Bei den anderen Villen ist das Meer bis zu den Palmen vorgedrungen und hat sie teilweise unterspült. Leider ist der Strand mit vielen Korallenstücke übersäht, sodass man hinschauen muss wohin man seinen Fuss setzt. Die Villen sind schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen aber okay. Einzig die Matratzen waren für uns zu hart. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. An der Küche gibt es nichts zu bemängeln und sie bot ein ausgezeichnetes Essen für jeden Geschmack. Leider war das Meer bei unserem Besuch sehr unruhig, sodass ein gemütliches Schnorcheln nicht sehr gut möglich war. Auch ist das Hausriff schon ziemlich beschädigt.

Lovely resort, very peaceful, just like paradise. I stayed in a beach bungalow and it was only a few meters to the sea. You have an allocated sun bed for your property which is very comfy but very heavy to move. The sea is beautiful, the reef and fish are stunning. You only have to swim 5-10m from the shore to be over the reef. I managed to see both white and black reef tip sharks and rays whilst snorkelling. It is also nice to watch them swim from the jetty.|The food is lovely, with plenty of choice and a good quality. The service in the restaurant was great, Sakibul my waiter was very polite and looked after me well.|The bungalow is lovely, with a very comfy large bed. At first it seemed weird having the shower outside but I loved the idea once I arrived.|The only issue I had was the sea plane transfer upon departure. This is not the fault of Filitheyo, but after such a relaxing week I felt very stressed. The accommodation organises your pick up time with the sea plane company based on your flight details. They were very late in picking me up and I just got to check in at Male 45 minutes before my flight for the UK departed, I was very lucky that it had not closed. If I was to visit the Maldives again I would consider returning to Male the day before my flight to not have all of the stress with a late sea plane. There was no apology for the late running, just a lot of unnecessary stress.|All of the staff are very friendly. Guests seemed predominantly German, I seemed to be the only English guest. Lovely resort that I would definitely return to.

Excellent food, excellent staff, very nice island, very nice reef. a few disppointments... the superior villas are adjoining to each other, which is ok... but there is a communicating door between the 2 appartments (absolutely useless, I have never seen that in the Maldives) and the walls are probably made of paper. You can actually hear everything from your neighbours. I mean everything. the deluxe villas are probably a better choice, they are individual. we actually witnessed a drowning... (I was part of the rescue team). the people from the rescue boat (one of them was a boy probably 13-14 years old) were not trained at all. no coordination at all from them, they did not know what to do at all, they kept the drowned person head in the water almost all the time. It is not their fault but they were obviously not trained to do a rescue. a lifeguard would be ideal. Or at least some indications about the currents (they were very strong sometimes) would help and maybe save lives. a big thanks to Mahbub who took care about our bungalow and also Rauf who was an absolute professional at the reception and also at the whaleshark trip we had... he made the trip great ! thanks a lot Rauf!

Im November 2023 waren zum fünften Mal auf den Malediven und zum ersten Mal auf der Insel Filitheyo und ich kann sagen, dass wir jetzt unsere perfekte Insel gefunden haben! Die Lage top und zum schnorcheln einen Traum! Die Mitarbeiter sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend! Das Essen war gut, ein wenig mehr Abwechslung wäre wünschenswert jedoch haben wir immer etwas leckeres gefunden. Die Beachbungalows sind nicht sehr luxuriös aber gemütlich und grosszügig eingerichtet …der zugängliche wunderschöne Strand direkt vor der Tür! Alles in allem eine perfekte Insel um zu geniessen, zu schnorcheln und die tolle Natur der Malediven zu bestaunen. Der einzigste negative Punkt war, dass das Wlan total überteuert angeboten wird, auf der Insel gibt es nirgendwo einen gratis wlan Spot…. Tipp: am Flughafen kann man für 50 Dollar eine SIM Karte kaufen die uns für 2 Wochen längstens gereicht hat…

Loved the natural beauty of the island, that it was not picture perfect on all sides is also the charm. The big beach was wide and gorgeous with beautiful tall palmtrees, the lagoon beach a bit worn by the ocean and rough weather this season, but nicely private. |The food choice was excellent and of good quality , lots of fish, veggies and very good curries, also a lot of European style food choice for those who prefer that. The staff in the restaurant was very friendly, as everywhere on the island. Very good experience with the dive center, a lot of diving possibilties right on the island and by boat as well. Had lovely baot dives and a night blue light dive on the housereef. We loved the corals on the reefs, saw way more coral life in this atoll than at others, also rich and abundant fish life. Sharks, groupers, napoleons right on the house reef, beautiful corals and nice reefs on the boat trips. Friendly and professional staff at the dive center, we felt very save as we have been diving for only two years and after our padi licences now need to make real diving miles. |Villas were better than we expected, loved the spacious open air bathroom with seperate toilet area and the big four poster bed and nice quality wood furniture. Airco, fridge and hot water all worked well. The weather was not the best during our stay but we had a great time, did the night fishing, island hopping, diving and relaxing with a cocktail or at the spa. Beach bbq was lovely. Def would love to go back to this island!

Wir sind mit unserem Jüngsten (inzwischen sieben Jahre alt) schon zum zweiten Mal auf Filitheyo und nach wie vor begeistert! Die Insel ist dank des direkt vom Strand aus erreichbaren Hausriffes perfekt zum Tauchen und Schnorcheln, aber auch zum Baden oder einfach nur am Strand liegen und Genießen. Für Taucher ist interessant, dass Filitheyo die einzige Hotelinsel in diesem Atoll ist und die Tauchplätze deswegen nicht schon überfüllt sind, wenn man hinkommt. Besonders gefällt uns aber, dass die Insel nicht "über-luxurifiziert" wurde, wie das bei anderen Inseln oft der Fall ist. Wir zumindest brauchen auf den Malediven weder Süsswasserpools in Olympiaabmessung noch drei verschiedene, klimatisierte Sternerestaurants! Das Baden im Meer kann kaum schöner sein als hier und das Buffet im großen, offenen Restaurant lässt keine Wünsche offen. Die Bungalows sind geräumig und sauber und das Personal äußerst freundlich und hilfsbereit. Wer die Schönheit der Malediven in gepflegtem, aber nicht übertriebenem Luxus genießen möchte ist auf Filitheyo genau richtig!

FILITHEYO Review. Short version. This was our tenth visit to the Maldives and sixth different island. Initially I was unsure what to make of the resort but as the days went by I became more at home with it and ended up liking the place. Not quite as high a standard as Villamendho or Hirihi but cheaper than those islands. The mosquito bites took the edge of things but everything else was very good. Pathways were clean as was the beach. The reef did have strong currents on some days but is full of fish and lots of hard and soft corals. Shark, turtle and eagle ray were regularly seen. We stayed in a Superior Room which was plenty big enough, very clean and situated just off the beach. The food was as good as we have had anywhere in the Maldives, excellent. The Sunset bar is staffed with hard working and cheerful people and is a good place to hang out with the sun setting. The guests were mostly German with the odd Europeans and a few English couples. Wi-Fi provided by the hotel is very expensive and you are better getting a SIM card at the airport. Would I go again? Yes, I would but there are undoubtedly other islands just as good that we need to explore. Detailed version. This resort is cheaper than some others and that is reflected in the standard. Having said that don’t let that put you off. It is a clean island with refurbishment continually taking place, not that you’d notice immediately. The island – Paths are swept daily and some are a little thin on sand whereas others have plenty. There is plenty of shade along the paths. Flip flops would be a good idea. We did see people in barefoot and others in flip flops. The restaurant is a no shoes area. Mosquitoes were active even though they sprayed each day. The Reef – Only about a third of the island is suitable for snorkelling. The other two thirds consist of strong currents, rocks/coral and you are advised not to snorkel in those areas. The current is the strongest we have encountered in the Maldives, so you just need to be careful and keep an eye in which direction it is flowing. We encountered large numbers of fish on the reef which included Reef Shark, Eagle Rays, Turtles, Moray eel and numerous other fish. There are a large number of hard corals and a few soft ones which all look healthy. We don’t dive so I can’t help you with that, only to say there is a Dive Centre on the island. Room – We stayed in a Superior room which had an outdoor shower, toilet and double basin set up. This area was looking a little tired and needed a refurbishment to compete with the other resorts. We had a very large firm bed which was very comfortable and came with 4 pillows and mosquito net. Each room has a free digital safe. The housekeeper (Lateef) did an excellent job and kept everything very clean. The room is equipped with a kettle, tea and coffee but no milk. There is also a small fridge in the wardrobe!! Miscellaneous – There is no evening entertainment. On some nights a waiter takes fish scraps and feeds the waiting Nurse Sharks. You can even join in. There is still water provided each day to your room. There is no sparkling water though. The resort uses the UK three pin sockets, so no need for extra plugs. There is a small shop on the island but don’t rely on getting what you need from there. It does sell postcards and stamps. To hire a snorkel was $1 per day. Wi-Fi costs $250 for two weeks!! Food – This was excellent and as good as any we have had in the Maldives. If you cannot find something to eat and enjoy then it’s you and not them! Buffett style meals with plenty of choice and different ice-cream each meal. Tuna station, Pasta station, dessert section, salads, curries and more. Trips – There are some trips on offer, mainly fishing trips. We did the Snorkel Safari which takes you to three different reefs. It cost $42 each, but we didn’t see anything different.

The accommodation is lovely every day they bring you 2 litres of water fresh towels , coffee and what ever you need. Your room can be cleaned as much as you want just put the sign on the door. The waters are brilliant for snorkelling and it has the most gorgeous infinity pool. We are returning again next January it’s total heaven.

Lovely resort, very peaceful, just like paradise. I stayed in a beach bungalow and it was only a few meters to the sea. You have an allocated sun bed for your property which is very comfy but very heavy to move. The sea is beautiful, the reef and fish are stunning. You only have to swim 5-10m from the shore to be over the reef. I managed to see both white and black reef tip sharks and rays whilst snorkelling. It is also nice to watch them swim from the jetty. The food is lovely, with plenty of choice and a good quality. The service in the restaurant was great, Sakibul my waiter was very polite and looked after me well. The bungalow is lovely, with a very comfy large bed. At first it seemed weird having the shower outside but I loved the idea once I arrived. The only issue I had was the sea plane transfer upon departure. This is not the fault of Filitheyo, but after such a relaxing week I felt very stressed. The accommodation organises your pick up time with the sea plane company based on your flight details. They were very late in picking me up and I just got to check in at Male 45 minutes before my flight for the UK departed, I was very lucky that it had not closed. If I was to visit the Maldives again I would consider returning to Male the day before my flight to not have all of the stress with a late sea plane. There was no apology for the late running, just a lot of unnecessary stress. All of the staff are very friendly. Guests seemed predominantly German, I seemed to be the only English guest. Lovely resort that I would definitely return to.
