“Rustic, wooden walkways and sandy trails make this resort a barefoot retreat. The comfortable, stylish villas have outdoor bathrooms. As the only resort in Faafu Atoll it offers incredible reefs to explore and a private diving school. A diver's dream with a refreshing unspoilt charm to it. ”

Filitheyo Island Resort

A divers' paradise on the Faafu Atoll in the Maldives, with comfortable villas and exceptional restaurants. A spectacular 40-minute seaplane ride from Malé, there's an excellent reef for snorkeling and a choice of great beaches. You can dive straight in from the wood decking of your water villa.
