After the fantastic seaplane arrival, approaching Filitheyo on the island’s boat I appreciated how lush and pretty the island is. The island has a lovely feel to it, as you walk through the tree lined pathways, and you are never far away from a smiling member of staff who can’t seem to do enough for you. I like the touches of Filitheyo such as having the same waiter for dinner service each evening, and the bar staff remembering your drink of choice. The house reef is brilliant here with various entry points around the island. I saw several rays and a couple of reef sharks literally just off the beach whilst snorkelling here. There is also a fairly shallow sandy area close to the water villas which is nice for those who simply want to swim and enjoy the Indian Ocean.
For those wanting to treat themselves, take yourself to the spa as it is beautiful; then take yourself back to your water villa where the sunsets are amazing!
My tip would be if staying at Filitheyo, make sure you snorkel on the reef, and if wanting to venture off the island and do something special, head over to Hamza Island for a picnic on your very own island- the prawn noodle salad was sumptuous!!!
