Filitheyo Island Resort

I have been to the Maldives 6 times already. I was there 4 weeks ago with my husband and kids and because I felt so overwhelmed with joy in this happy place I decided to come back with my dad 4 weeks later. Upon researching islands I stumbled across Filitheyo island resort and liked the fact that it is in an Atoll I had not been to before and because it is so secluded and therefore decided to book. Having spent a couple of days here I can only share my sheer admiration for this gem of an island. The beaches are serene and the housereef is stunning. It only 2 took me two snorkeling attemps to tick off one huge chunk in my bucket list: swimming with a turtle! The reef next to exit 4 is amazing and one can see nursesharks, a variety of fish and we even came across a muray eel. The food is varied and very tasty and I have especially appreciated the green salad and the crunchy, juicy tomatoes. The staff is lovely as well (for example, we were greeted with a complimentary massage upon arrival or just today while I was chilling on my sunbed I was offered a free coconut they had just retrieved from a palm tree - in the resort 4 weeks ago you had to pay 10 dollars for this - but here in Folitheyo luxury is spelled differently). If you are looking for some peace and quiet whilst endulging in the pristine underwater wildlife, unspoiled nature and lush gardens, this barefoot island is for you! I am looking forward to to spending another 11 days here and can only warmly recommend Filitheyo.
