Advantages: Diving, Snorkelling, scenery, Food, cabins everything.
Disadvantages: not long enough!!

.... It was such a romantic setting that one partner proposed to his girlfriend there Then the following day was spent on the island with a picnic under cover of the sun and fantastic snorkelling and scenery, quite Robinson Crusoe. Needless to say both underwater and land cameras went into overdrive again!!!!!!!!!! Then back to Kurumba. We stayed on board to pack, have cocktails on deck and use the Jacussi.

We had a guide arranged by the boat so we really enjoyed seeing this very busy town. Then to end our cruise there was live music, cocktails and dancing on the top deck.

...Paradise in real life: I should say that its an excellent relaxing hideaway for honeymooners. It’s a perfect place for those who yearn for tranquillity and privacy in a natural surrounding.

...We've just returned from the best holiday ever at Filitheyo Island in the Maldives. Situated in the North Nilandoo Atoll in the Indian Ocean, its a 45 minute sea plane journey away from Male the capital city and a 12 hour flight from Manchester. We booked All Inclusive through Best At.com who were efficient and informative about the differnt islands within the Maldives and what we could expect fom them. The accomodation on Filitheyo, an island which incidentally is just 900m long by 500m wide, comprises of 125 rooms, single or double bungalows all with air conditioning.
