Our Opinion of V Villas Maldives at Mirihi - MGallery Collection
The most recent Angelfish visitors to V Villas Maldives at Mirihi - MGallery Collection were Dan & Jo.
Mirihi has been around for over 20 years, during which it has built a loyal base of repeater clients that return again and again to a welcoming and homely atmosphere.
It’s a naturally pretty island, with a great beach that extends about two-thirds of the way around, and provides easy access to a very nice house reef. The location is perfect, nestled in the inner part of the South Ari Atoll, with year-round access to Whaleshark, Manta and myriad dive sites.
The award-winning Ocean Pro dive centre also manage the Project Hope coral conservation and regeneration program, that is successfully restoring corals to bleaching-damaged parts of the reef.
There are just 38 villas, 6 on the beach, 30 over water, and 2 two-bedroom suites. They may be a little small and old-fashioned by modern standards, but they have been given a facelift and nice new bathrooms.
Dining is high quality for this level of resort, particularly in Muraka over-water restaurant, which is a must, but we also really like the spacious Dhonveli main restaurant with well-separated tables, and super-soft sand floors that extend all the way through the bar and reception areas. We also welcome the introduction of Half Board Plus and Full Board Plus meal plans, which include drinks with meals in Dhonveli, throughout the day in the Anba bar, plus soft drinks and beers in your mini bar and sundowner cocktails at Muraka.
When guests are not diving or snorkelling, there are other non-motorised water sports, a small, nicely-equipped gym, and a little Duniye spa.
The well-established and committed management team ensure that Mirihi runs like clockwork, and service feels friendly and personal. With the limited number of keys and enthusiastic repeaters, this little Maldivian gem needs to be booked well in advance for high season.
