Resorts in Fihalhohi
Fihalhohi was first opened in 1984 with major reconstructions in the late `90s. You have two types of rooms, the original “standard” and “superior” (adding air conditioning and a fridge to the “standard”) rooms and the new, highly comfortable “deluxe” rooms. Whereas we had a standard room during our first stay, we chose a deluxe for our second stay and we must say the deluxe rooms are well worth the little premium they cost.
While the rooms in other resorts are often rather simple and strictly rectangular (more resembling a car garage than a hotel building), the Fihalhohi huts all have a palm roof and are carefully fittet into the environment of the island. Fihalhohi is not a place where you find bold, sterile luxury. Instead, the place bursts of Maldivian charm and still offers all comfort you’d expect to enjoy on a dream island.
Comparing Fihahohi to other resorts, it is very tidy and exceptionally well organized. The staff is very friendly and brings attention to all the little details that make a stay on Fihalhohi such an experience which it is. We got the impression that also the staff really enjoys their work – they have humor and obviously, they do have reason to be proud working in a place like that. We have yet to meet a Fihalhohi staff member in bad mood.

If the thought of living in Germany in the 1940`s with arrogant laying cheating dictatorship this his the island for you, run by and occupied by 99.9% germans
I know what your thinking (it cant be that bad the travel companies would not allow it to go on ) well I can tell you to think this you would be very very Wrong .
My name is K Garrett im a diver from the uk I have over 1500 dives under my belt and on diving in Finalhohi I can tell you it’s a matter of time before some one dies there.
In a two week period I made three rescues one was a diver at 30m that lost all orientation so I had to make a emergency lift the other was a diver that lost buoyancy at 30m and started for the surface inverted all this can happen any where but the third was when the dive master planed the dive we where to follow and instructed us to keep the reef left shoulder on dropping on to the reef it was obvious there was no way we where going to go left shoulder to the reef we where 30m down the boat had left before we left the surface so there was no returning to the boat the current was running at around 6knot so we went with the flow on surfacing we found all 11 other divers inc the dive master the sea was breaking at about 3m it was rough . On looking for the boat it was no wear to be seen then some one pointed it out, in the distance you could just about make it out it was roughly about 2 miles away and we where getting further by the minute the dive leader spoke German to the other 10 divers and then turned her back to the others. Looky for me with diving in the uk I always dive with a rescue flag I unpacked it set it up and even with a 1.5 m red flag on a 2m pole it took 20min to spot us .
I received no thanks has you would expect from the supper race, but please use your head don’t go to this island it unsafe.
I have informed Thomson’s about this and they told me they don’t own the dive centre A GREAT ATTITUDE
