Fihalhohi is a secluded island in the archipelago of The Maldives where you can experience Traditional Island Living at its finest. Our island is perfectly located along the Southern rim of Male’ atoll, vastly surrounded by pristine, crystal-clear waters of the Indian Ocean. The lush greenery and hundreds of shady coconut palms gives the island a subtle atmosphere of seclusion perfect for relaxation. We offer carefully organized excursions and water sports activities to explore the ethereal lane of coral reefs and the vibrant turquoise blue lagoon protecting it. Choose us to experience meticulously prepared culinary fusion and gastronomic breakthroughs .approximately 28 km away from Velana International Airport and can be reached via speed boat on a 45-minute travel time.
Star ratings are intended to indicate the general level of features, amenities, and services to expect. This property is classified according to Giata.
We rested with our wife in Fich from 5.08.24 to 12.08.24. I want to start by explaining that vacationing in the Maldives is not about 5 stars in machines/bungalows/villas, that I think we should go somewhere else. The Maldives is precisely behind the views, behind the appeasement and lack of fuss. And it was on this island that we got what we wanted. We lived in a two-storey villa, on the second floor, the room is comfortable: large bed, bathroom, TV(bringing apple set-top box), balcony(overlooking palm trees and the ocean, room 204). Walk to the beach ~1 minute, so by the way everyone, because all rooms are located on the beach almost. Cuisine: not to say that everything is right in bulk, but you can always eat, (there are no these 20 types of sausages and cheeses like in Turkey and Tai), just a little bit. Staff/cleaning: The staff are very friendly, not intrusive if the waiter sees that you are not in the mood to socialize-will not get involved. Cleaned twice a day, 10am and 16. As for the interior of the island-there, we understood the living area for staff (fenced and not in any way disturbed) who are not satisfied with welcome to Bali. Entertainment: we went diving (individual), rode a motorcycle, banana, took dolphin tours, manta and fishing. Every night entertainment program, if anyone is bored and you expect to be entertained by someone in Turkey/Egypt))) we sang karaoke ourselves, played pool/tenis and we were normal. In general, we are more than satisfied and recommend. If you know why you're going to a place like this then definitely choose this. And if it is important for you that the room be larger than your room in the apartment, then you probably don't need the Maldives in principle). And yes, in the Maldives for the 3rd time, and specifically choose such criteria as: calm (to be alone from the bustle), some wildness surroundings (less people and twists), more rest for the body, not for the eyes. Just reading some reviews and realize that after going to Maldives once people want to see Turkey here))) and it is not. All good🫶 Fihe prosperity and wait for us again ❤️❤️❤️ with respect Alexey and Anna

1 独立小岛环境非常好,绿植覆盖,浓荫蔽日,白沙蓝海,看得人醉。2 房间宽敞,大床大卫浴,拖鞋牙刷梳子牙膏牙线都有,烧水壶咖啡茶叶很全。每天每人送1升矿泉水。我们带了矿泉水过去,一天一瓶补充上。岛上也可以买水,就是贵点,理解。3伙食很好,亚洲饭还是好吃,西瓜木瓜苹果菠萝香蕉都很甜。4鱼多鱼大,鲨鱼海龟鳗鱼鳐鱼,各色热带鱼,浮潜就能看到。5外出浮潜真不必要,还没在岛上看的多。一群人呼啦啦游过去,鱼都给吓跑了。6员工不卑不亢,没有伸手要小费的,比埃及好很多。 1 The environment of the independent island is very good, covered with green plants, shaded by thick trees, white sand and blue sea, which makes people intoxicated. 2 The room is spacious, with a big bed and a big bathroom, slippers, toothbrushes, combs, toothpaste and dental floss, and a kettle, coffee and tea. 1 liter of mineral water is provided per person every day. We brought mineral water with us and replenished it with a bottle every day. You can also buy water on the island, but it is a bit expensive, which is understandable. 3 The food is very good, Asian meals are delicious, and watermelon, papaya, apple, pineapple and banana are all very sweet. 4 There are many big fish, sharks, turtles, eels, rays, and various tropical fish, which can be seen by snorkeling. 5 It is really unnecessary to go out for snorkeling, as you haven't seen much on the island. A group of people swam over and scared away the fish. 6 The employees are neither humble nor arrogant, and no one asked for tips, which is much better than Egypt.

The hotel is nice, with a sandy beach, so many families with children. It is windy on the western side of the island, so a lot of coral debris washed up on the beach. The reef is located in the northwestern part of the island. Rooms in two-story houses, regular, with all the attributes: bathrobes, slippers, toothbrushes and etc. Compared to the European ones, much more spacious. Room water: large glass bottle per person per day, did not have time to drink, also tea, coffee if fit after three meals. There are separate houses, there are villas on the water. The kitchen and service in the restaurants are not at all claimed. Good chefs, cooking good. Breakfast is standard. Oatmeal is as good as home. Lunches and dinners are quite varied, though few in number. Fish every day for lunch and dinner, eaten six months in advance. Delicious desserts, from fruit: watermelon, melon, pineapples, papaya, bananas, apples, oranges.

We stayed in the Premium beach villa, a very spacious room with double entrance, 30 meters from the beach. Impeccable cleaning carried out twice a day, beach towels, bathrobe and towels changed. Stunning sea and beach, the swing area is in our opinion the most beautiful part of the island. Varied food every day, spiced just right, really good. Very professional resort staff, always helpful and kind. Special mention to the two animators/representatives of the Coralia Club: Vanisha and Iounas, wonderful people, never intrusive, super helpful and very nice, thanks to them we met and created a nice group of people. This is just some info, you discover the rest, it's worth it. Long live the Maldives!

It's not our first time on Fialoch. Everything seemed fabulously wonderful on the first visit, so back here. My husband and I moved from a nearby island to Fialochie because our holidays were planned like this: week-Adaaran, week-Fialochie. The punctuality of the employees of the Hotel Fialoha is pleasing, everything is very clear. We're here, we're done, we know everything. SKY room, we love the second floors, yes, it's a bit decrepit, but we're not on an island in a hotel... Food is scarce, there is no variety, fish dishes are plentiful (tuna), the gifts of the sea (shrimp, squid, octopus) were not, unlike Adaaran. Mostly-chicken, beef, paste (not good at all), yogurt became like kefir. Delicious morning porridge and croissants. The staff is friendly, the waiter Zihaan (Teddy) knows a few phrases in Russian, entertains the guests with jokes and additions. Saviour Ahmad is very kind, always helping to take a photo, approaches the shooting process with imagination.) Cleanliness, regular cleaning of grounds and rooms, all normal. Because of the sea surge, there's a blur of sand, you need to rebuild the boundaries, maybe that's what they do before the high season. Last time we were in December 2023 and the beach was more holistic. The vegetation on the island is maintained in excellent condition, the banana grove in the centre of the island is well maintained and cleared of weeds. The water in this period is not very clear, you can snort only sail a fair distance from the shore. Now for the proverbial spoon of tar in this paradise. The speedbot is already waiting for us to transfer to Malé at 08:00 and here's the exciting thing: when checking out of the hotel we were presented with a bill for services we didn't use. Called to the register, they insist on paying for Water Things to do. The previous day (Friday) people were actively riding a "banana" and a scooter. And someone (I do hope wrongly, not on purpose) provided our room number to pay for their entertainment afterwards. We naturally explain that we did not use any of the services offered by the hotel. No spa, no diving, no entertainment whatsoever. We are stared in the eye and shake our heads reproachfully. We insisted on the call and appearance of the animator or representative of the service. He got a call, put up a sluggish fight in a sleepy voice, eventually the question was dropped and he apologized coldly. The mood was ruined. I would like to draw the attention of hotel employees and owners to the accounting of their services. After all, you wear bracelets with rooms in your hands when checking in. Why do you allow uncontrolled use of your ROOM number? And where are the guest's invoices when providing services? You have them on your computer and the guest doesn't, how come? My opinions and records should be kept by the numbers on the bracelet, so you avoid the kind of unpleasant situations that later affect your Ranking. In general there is everything for leisure, we are happy to spend time on this island, we want to come back here again. If all the flaws are corrected, a beautiful place of paradise. We recommend it.

This is an amazing privately owned island, which is a gem of a find. If you want calmness, relaxation and great service, then this is the place to go. This is our second visit and would happily come back again. The island has lovey, clean rooms and does not have crazy numbers of people, so at meal times, the beaches are deserted. The island offers some great snorkel trips but i would advise you to be strong swimmers (the sea can be rough and many of the trips are in very deep water, as you jump into the sea from a boat). The views around the island are breathtaking and the food is awesome (they also cater for vegan/lactose intolerance and gluten intolerance) vegetarian food was a little sparse, but we ate vegan at lot of the time, which we still lovely but can get a little boring due to limited options, especially when you see all the other delights on offer, but are not vegetarian (including cakes etc)
The service was outstanding, the staff could not do any more for us. There was a wide range of visitors from all sorts of countries (a large proportion of German/Russian people) the library was more geared towards German, which suggests the larger number of visitors were probably from there. We stuck to our Amazon Kindles, so didn’t need the library anyway.
There were also options to hire boats, jet skis and snorkels if you needed them, plus the possibility of gaining a full PADI diving license for anyone who wanted to do it (all had extra costs). There was a little shop on the island, but it is expensive for essentials (such as snorkels or suntan lotion) because it all has to be imported in, which is understandable. Therefore, make sure you take whatever items you need with you.
If you want to experience the Maldives without the commercial craziness or the major corporation chain aspect, this is a great island to visit.

We rested at the hotel from 10/04/23 to 10/11/23. We were pleased with our vacation, despite the bad weather in the first days, it was raining and cloudy all the time. The air and water temperatures remained comfortable, we swam a lot with masks, walked around the territory (with an umbrella), and got acquainted with the flora and fauna. The only thing is that on cloudy days there is no fabulously beautiful picture, as it was in the sun. The rooms are excellent, water is uninterrupted, cleaning is unobtrusive, all accessories are there! You don’t need to take anything bath-related: shampoos, gels, razors, toothbrushes, hair dryers, slippers, bathrobes... The food is edible, everything seems to be there, but to say that you really liked something, there’s no such thing... We took it "Romantic dinner" by the ocean. Yes there! Both atmospheric and tasty... I highly recommend it. The ocean: it is incomparable... I have never seen such a color of water and sand anywhere. The temperature is always (morning, afternoon, evening, rain, sun) approximately 27-29 degrees! Super! The underwater world is fascinating. We saw almost everyone possible. In the evening there is a “show” of sharks, huge beauties swim at the pier and allow themselves to be examined and photographed. You can walk around the entire island in about 15 minutes. Don't forget to look into the "jungle". There is also something to see there: coconuts, bananas... Rest and relaxation... We didn’t have a TV, we didn’t even remember about it. The Internet is excellent, and we talked with our relatives via video call and sent photos/videos - everything is fine. Perhaps the kids will be bored: there are no entertainment facilities, discos, or slides. Such unity with nature... I highly recommend it to those who want to relax their soul and body. Thank you FIHALHOHI!!!

Short transfer time, when you arrive at the airport your luggage is taken care of immediately and your room number is given to you. Small, unspoilt island that you can walk around in just under 15 minutes, with lush vegetation, wonderful white sandy beaches and a species-rich house reef. It's great that the loungers and cushions are marked with your room number and you can place them all over the island. Beach towels are changed daily by the room boy. We spent 10 wonderful days on Fiha.

We stayed on the island for 6 days/5n for our honeymoon.
A big thank you to Vanisha and Younas for their welcome, kindness, sharing their marine and snorkeling knowledge offered during our stay, as well as their little attention for our honeymoon.
A place that can be defined as quiet, heavenly and beautiful. And a marine life to discover
The staff is very attentive, kind, knowledgeable, a very well preserved place, clean whether outside or inside the rooms or place of food, welcome...
The services offered on the island are numerous, between spa, various activities offered by the coralia club, and multiple excursions of the hotel (various snorkeling with different marine animals, boat trips or to the city of Malé...)
Around the island is composed of corals and lots of marine life that can observe for yourself while free snorkeling the various seabed Varieties of fish, sharks, turtle. I give you advice, take your masks, snorkel and flipper, if that is not possible he has enough to rent them on site.
I highly recommend spending time on this site and especially if Vanisha and Younas are there for your stay.
A perfect stay in a bubble of paradise...

This island resort is beautiful! 1. A living reef with a huge number of interesting inhabitants. 2. The island is very green, all in the shade of plants and palm trees, but sunbathers will also find the sun. The paths are laid in sand. Everything is neatly tidied up. You can wash your feet from the sand right before entering the bungalow. It’s better not to take closed or dress shoes here) A very “photogenic” island))) 3. There are constant patrols that treat the island from mosquitoes and coconuts so that the latter do not fall on vacationers. 4. Very tasty food in the restaurant, European and Indian cuisine, delicious fruits, fish served regularly, we took three meals a day. 5. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. Everything is functioning. Good quality shampoo, soap, conditioner, they are replenished regularly. The verandas are wonderful in every room overlooking the sea. 6. There is a spa, a diving center, excursions to sharks, stingrays, dolphins, turtles, etc., a shop, bars, yoga classes, karaoke and a disco. There are no Russian-speaking staff (if this is important). 7. But the main thing here is nature. It is beautiful: fish, herons, flying foxes, crabs, lizards. The island is beautiful and comfortable, even though it is very compact. Here you can truly relax and unwind! We strongly recommend it, thanks to the island resort and its employees!

You will be given a foam mattress for the correct number of people in your room. You can hold onto it throughout your stay. Each sunbed has a room number written on it, so you know which are yours. Beware that some impolite guests may just take any sunbeds in the morning, so you may find yours have moved from the previous day and you will have to go hunting for it to get it back. This is explained on check in, so be clear if someone else has taken your sunbed if you want it back for the day.
