User reviews

"This beach is amazing! It truly feels like paradise on earth. The water villas are stunning and offer complete privacy. We had an incredible time during our stay, and we are so grateful to the Filitheyo support staff for making our holiday unforgettable."

Kaelen Rivers

"My husband and I celebrated our anniversary by booking a water villa and had an amazing holiday. The villa was incredible, with fish swimming around us as we enjoyed tea on our private sundeck. The resort had a fantastic house reef, where we had our first diving experience. Ramzan guided us through a night fluo dive, making it enjoyable even though we aren't great swimmers. ..."
