Filitheyo Island Resort

TripAdvisor Travelers' Choice 2023: Filitheyo Island Resort - the only resort in Faafu Atoll with a house reef accessed directly from the beach.

House Reef & Snorkeling

Filitheyo Island Resort sits on its own island in Faafu Atoll, surrounded by a house reef with healthy hard and soft corals. Guests can step directly from the beach or overwater villa into the water and encounter blacktip reef sharks, eagle rays, and sea turtles. The reef's drop-off is a short swim away, offering views of moray eels and spinner dolphins on occasion.

Water Villas & Accommodation

Filitheyo Island offers spacious water villas built on stilts with thatched roofs and private wooden terraces. Each villa has direct lagoon access, day beds, and views of the turquoise water. The superior villas are semi-detached, while deluxe beach villas offer detached privacy with outdoor bathrooms.

Dining & All-Inclusive Packages

The resort's main restaurant serves international buffets with themed nights, including sushi, curries, and fresh pasta stations. The Sunset Restaurant & Bar offers fresh juices, cocktails, and afternoon snacks by the infinity pool. Comprehensive all-inclusive packages include meals, selected drinks, and excursions like night fishing and island hopping.

Spa & Wellness

Filitheyo Spa provides body massages, facials, and wellness treatments in a serene beachfront setting. The spa features a massage chair, open-air bath, and relaxation area with spa packages available. A doctor is on call for medical needs, and the fitness center offers basic workout equipment.

Activities & Diving
