South Ari Atoll

V Villas Maldives at Mirihi – MGallery Collection

V Villas Maldives at Mirihi – MGallery Collection (formerly Mirihi Island Resort) is a natural sanctuary of tranquillity on one of the Maldives' smallest private islands in South Ari Atoll — just 30 minutes by seaplane from Velana International Airport. Named after the local Mirihi flower, this intimate resort of just 42 villas and suites invites guests to surrender to the unhurried rhythm of island life, surrounded by turquoise waters and powder-soft sands. With no TVs in villas, no motorised water sports and no nightlife, Mirihi offers a truly unique "disconnect to reconnect" philosophy. Overwater villas with direct house reef access, world-class Ocean-Pro diving across 50 dive sites, resident marine scientist, Project Hope coral nurseries, Mirihi Spa, overwater restaurant Muraka, beachfront Dhonveli restaurant, AKOYA Sea Lounge and the iconic Tasting Room complete an exceptional luxury boutique experience. Part of Accor's MGallery Collection.
