V Villas Maldives at Mirihi - New Hotel in the Maldives

A Private Island in the Heart of South Ari Atoll

Located on the secluded shores of Mirihi Island, this boutique resort is reached by a scenic seaplane journey from Velana International Airport. Surrounded by shallow lagoons, coral gardens, and powder-soft sand, the island feels wonderfully intimate, a place where barefoot elegance replaces excess. South Ari Atoll is celebrated for its marine biodiversity, making it one of the Maldives’ most coveted regions for diving, snorkeling, and encounters with whale sharks and manta rays.

A New Chapter Under MGallery Collection

Now operating under the refined hospitality banner of MGallery Collection, the resort ushers Mirihi into a new era while preserving the spirit that long made the island beloved among discerning travelers. The concept embraces romance, tranquility, and curated experiences, blending the ease of a private island retreat with the polish of an internationally recognized luxury collection. With personalized service and a focus on meaningful travel, the hotel appeals to couples, aesthetes, and guests seeking a more intimate version of the Maldives.

Contemporary Design Rooted in Island Heritage

Architecture and interiors celebrate the authentic soul of Mirihi through a thoughtful, place-led design language. Natural textures, warm woods, woven materials, and soft neutral palettes mirror the surrounding sand and sea. Signature details include the Sail Canopy Pavilion, inspired by traditional Maldivian dhoni sails, and a Coral Ceramic Wall paying tribute to the island’s living reef. The atmosphere is elegant yet understated, where modern comfort meets local craftsmanship and the landscape remains the true focal point.

Villas & Suites: 42 Intimate Island Sanctuaries

V Villas Maldives at Mirihi offers 42 overwater and beachfront villas, each designed as a serene private retreat. Some feature private pools, while all include the attentive service of a personal butler. Overwater villas hover above the lagoon, inviting guests to step directly into crystalline waters from their terrace, while beach villas rest moments from the shoreline amid tropical greenery. Interiors balance contemporary sophistication with Maldivian warmth, pairing airy open-plan layouts with tactile natural finishes. Bathrooms are conceived as spa-like sanctuaries, while expansive decks create a seamless transition between indoor calm and outdoor paradise.

Culinary Experiences Above the Lagoon and By the Sea

Dining unfolds across three distinct venues. Suspended above the lagoon, Muraka is the island’s signature fine-dining address, where sunset cocktails lead into elegant dinners celebrating Maldivian flavors, sustainable seafood, local lobster, and premium wagyu. With only a handful of tables, it feels intimate, romantic, and highly exclusive. Dhonveli, meaning “sand” in Dhivehi, offers all-day beachfront dining with live cooking stations and ever-changing menus inspired by global and island traditions. Fresh reef fish, handmade pasta, vibrant vegetarian dishes, and themed dinners create a dynamic culinary rhythm. For relaxed afternoons and golden-hour aperitifs, Akoya Sea Lounge pairs ocean views with local rums, crafted cocktails, and light plates designed for lingering.

Wellness, Diving, and Slow Island Living

The Mirihi Spa invites guests into a world of quiet restoration, where treatments unfold in harmony with the sea breeze and sound of waves. Beyond the spa, days can be shaped around world-class diving, guided snorkeling on the vibrant house reef, and curated cultural activities that reveal the spirit of the Maldives beyond its postcard beauty. This is a resort where time intentionally slows. Whether floating in warm waters, dining under the stars, or simply reading on a shaded deck, the experience centers on presence and ease.

A Thoughtful Luxury Escape with Soul

V Villas Maldives at Mirihi offers something increasingly rare: intimacy.
