Filitheyo is a resort island in the newly opened North Nilandhoo Atoll. It is a stylish resort that offers a very high standard of accommodation in attractive and well spaced rooms. Filitheyo is, in Maldivian terms, quite a large island 900m by 500m with a densely vegetated interior of palm trees, rubber trees, mangroves and Scaebola trees.
The beaches are broad and beautiful and the island is unspoiled. On the fine, white-sanded ocean side of the island, turtles come in to lay their eggs and lucky guests may be able to watch them hatch on a moonlit night.
The main bar is located next to the main restaurant and offers a good selection of cocktails, beers, fruit juices, wines and non-alcoholic drinks. Table tennis and darts are available here. Close to the main bar is a decked area that leads down to a sunken library and air-conditioned reading
room.
Spa: The Filitheyo Spa is operated by world-renowned SPA operators, Mandara. The Spa is an excellent place to relax, rejuvenate and restore yourself with exotic spa treatments designed to indulge your senses. The Spa consists of two treatment rooms in villas located on the beach-front, and offers a range of massages, reflexology treatments, facials and pedicures.
Water Sports: Filitheyo offers a good range of watersports including catamaran sailing, canoeing and windsurfing. There is a surfing and sailing school on the island, with both English and German speaking instructors available, equipped with 'Top Cat' Catamarans and Hy-Fly surf-boards and gear.
The BarakudaDiveSchool: This spaciously built diving centre was designed by professionals. Werner and Lily Lau who own the Dive Base have tremendous knowledge of the Maldives having operated here for many years. The Dive School is superbly equipped with a range of modern and well maintained equipment.
The restaurant on Filitheyo serves a very good choice of international and local dishes and we were very impressed by the food during our visit. There is a delicious selection of fresh meat and poultry dishes, including grilled meats, seafood and pasta, plus an excellent choice of fresh mixed salads and tropical fruits. For those with a sweeter tooth there is an ample choice of international deserts available. Beach buffets and barbecues, including many Maldivian specialties, provide further variety
to the menu. There is a small restaurant next to the sunset bar which offers an a la Carte menu
