The people of the Maldives are unified by history, the Dhivehi language and their Islamic faith.  With a population of a little over 280,000 spread over approx 200 islands and a geographical area of 90,000 sq km, the country is held together by a strong sense of national pride, devotion to their President and a commitment to the family.

Biledhoo Island (Friday) & Feeali Island (Tuesday)

Less than one hour dhoni ride from Filitheyo are the fishing islands of Biledhoo & Feeali.  Here you can see traditional Maldivian houses, with many made of local vegetation and thatch, or coral stones.  You will also see the mosque where the Muslim people pray five times a day, and visit the local island school.  The beauty, culture and way of life on a small island will be explained by your Guest Relations Officer as you make your way through the village.  On the return to Filitheyo Island Resort there is a stop at a sandbank for some sunbathing and snorkelling.

There is a small market to purchase souvenirs, and Feeali Island accepts all major currencies, but no credit cards.  On the island hopping excursions you will need to wear appropriate clothing to respect the Maldivian religion.  Please wear clothes to cover shoulders and thighs.  Please collect your snorkelling equipment prior to leaving for the excursion from the dive shop if you would like to snorkel on this tour.   If you have any special food requirements, please advise the guest relations officer.  Island hopping is currently available on Tuesday, Friday, and Sunday’s.
