Filitheyo Island Resort is a 4-star resort on a 600-metre-long island in Faafu Atoll, reached by a 30-minute seaplane or a domestic flight and 15-minute dhoni boat. The house reef wraps almost all the way round the island, with rich coral gardens and many fish, and Faafu's reef walls and channels are uncrowded.
There are 125 villas built in natural timber and thatch among dense vegetation. Superior Villas and Deluxe Villas sleep up to three on the beach, the Jacuzzi Beach Suite suits couples, and Water Villas and Jacuzzi Water Villas stand over the lagoon.
Two restaurants, including the main buffet, two cafés, a sunset bar and a pool bar serve meal plans from bed & breakfast to all inclusive.
A spa, outdoor pool, fitness centre and hair salon sit alongside the Werner Lau dive centre, snorkelling and water sports.

The seaplane flight takes about 30 minutes, with views over the atolls on the way. A traditional dhoni boat takes about 15 minutes.
