What to do on Land
Before you start to smile while thinking „ what might there be to spend your time with on a lonely Maldives island ?“ we would like to mention that Filaidhoo in fact offers more than just the usual ten minutes walk along the beach before you see the same palm tree again .
Opened in the winter of 2017 / 2018 the concept is aiming folks who are young or who feel young as well as those who like to hang out „ off the rest of the world “. However , that does not mean that there is any kind of animation on the island .
Those not only seeking relaxation in a beach chair or with the help of the water-sports centre do find several possibilities . Right next to the Sea Explorer Dive Centre there is the gym , a tennis court , too , and last not least the pool with it ‘ s pool bar ( top left ).
Still today , almost half of the island is covered by coconut palm trees . Small shady pathways lead through this tropical mini forest ( top right and bottom left ).
One of these walkways leads to the Spa and Wellness Centre . Classic massages are offered here and there is a jacuzzi , too ( bottom right ). At the water sports centre one finds surfboards and modern technical toys like water bikes .
Our recommendation for a nice evening : The sunset will be twice as nice with a cool sundowner at the sunset bar . The main restaurant is really good without any doubt . However the Reethi Grill at the beach and the Dhiyavaru Restaurant in the lagoon have there own atmospheres and different menus .
