On the private island of Mirihi in the South Ari Atoll, V Villas Maldives at Mirihi – MGallery Collection marks the brand’s debut in the Maldives. Reached by a 30-minute seaplane journey from Malé, the intimate all-villa retreat is surrounded by powder-white sands, crystalline lagoons and some of the archipelago’s most remarkable marine life.

The property features 42 spacious villas, including four new luxury overwater villas with expansive private pools. Each villa offers panoramic ocean views and private butler service, with interiors by Studio Gronda combining local pinewood, natural linens and smooth timber with handwoven lattices and coral-inspired ceramics created by Maldivian artisans. The resort’s signature Mirihi Maa suite offers generous indoor-outdoor living, a private pool and direct access to the lagoon.

The Indian Ocean sets the table across three distinctive venues. Dhonvelli offers relaxed, ocean-to-table dining, while the overwater Muraka restaurant specialises in locally sourced seafood, including a signature Maldivian lobster flambéed tableside with rum, coconut curry, kaffir lime and palm sugar. The Akoya Sea Lounge provides a serene setting for sunset cocktails overlooking the water.

The Mirihi Spa draws on island botanicals and traditional Maldivian wellness practices, offering mineral salt scrubs, massages, sound healing, meditation and aerial yoga overlooking the sea. The hotel’s signature M Moment takes place aboard the Mirihi Thari, a private luxury yacht that carries guests across the Ari Atoll in search of whale sharks, manta rays and sea turtles, accompanied by snorkelling, diving and chef-prepared refreshments.
