MGallery Collection has made its much-anticipated debut in the Maldives with the opening of V Villas Maldives at Mirihi – MGallery Collection, an intimate all-villa resort that beautifully captures the quiet elegance of Maldivian island life.
Nestled on the pristine shores of Mirihi Island in the South Ari Atoll, the property offers a refined sanctuary where turquoise lagoons, powder-white beaches, and gentle ocean breezes set the tone for relaxed luxury. Accessible by a scenic 30-minute seaplane ride from Malé, guests step into a world where time slows, and the connection to nature feels immediate and profound.
An Intimate Oasis of Calm and Contemporary Maldivian Design
With just 42 spacious villas including four new overwater villas featuring expansive private pools – V Villas Maldives at Mirihi delivers exclusivity and privacy in one of the Maldives’ most unspoiled settings. Each villa boasts panoramic ocean views and dedicated butler service, blending seamlessly into the landscape of sand and sea.
The design, led by the acclaimed Studio Gronda, draws deep inspiration from Maldivian heritage and the surrounding marine environment. Handwoven lattices cast soft, golden light patterns across textured surfaces, while coral-inspired ceramics by local artisans echo the living reefs just offshore. Natural materials such as local pinewood, soft linens, and warm timber create a soothing, contemporary aesthetic that feels both rooted in place and timeless.
Highlights include the signature Mirihi Maa suite, a generous indoor-outdoor retreat with its own private pool and direct lagoon access ideal for families or groups seeking meaningful connection in a serene setting. At the heart of the resort stands the striking Coral Ceramic Wall, a sculptural tribute glazed in reef-inspired blues that celebrates local artistry and MGallery’s passion for thoughtful design. The Akoya Sea Lounge, with its calming neutrals and dramatic rope chandelier, provides the perfect spot to unwind with ocean views.
A Culinary Journey Celebrating Island Flavours
Dining at V Villas Maldives at Mirihi is an immersive experience that honours Maldivian traditions and the ocean’s bounty.
Dhonvelli, the breezy all-day dining venue, brings barefoot luxury to life with open-air terraces where waves provide the soundtrack to fresh, locally sourced meals.
Overwater at Muraka, the experience becomes more theatrical. The signature dish freshly caught Maldivian lobster flambéed tableside with Muraka rum, coconut curry, kaffir lime, and palm sugar delivers a memorable explosion of flavour and aroma.
As sunset paints the sky, the Akoya Sea Lounge comes alive with signature cocktails like the Maldivian Glow, blending local Muraka rum, coconut liqueur, and sun-dried pineapple for a taste of golden-hour island magic.
Rejuvenation at Mirihi Spa and Signature Experiences
Wellness flows naturally with the island’s rhythm at the Mirihi Spa. Treatments draw on Maldivian botanical wisdom and modern techniques, from ocean mineral salt scrubs and intuitive massages to infrared sea bath rituals. Guests can also explore sound healing, guided meditation, and aerial yoga with views over the water.
The signature treatment honours the five elements through a full-body massage incorporating warm seashells, creating a deeply restorative experience.
Every MGallery property features a unique M Moment, and here it takes place aboard the private luxury yacht Mirihi Thari. Guests enjoy an exclusive full-day voyage through the Ari Atoll, with opportunities to snorkel or dive alongside whale sharks, manta rays, and sea turtles, all while enjoying chef-prepared canapés and refreshments on deck.
Purposeful Luxury and Community Commitment
True to MGallery Collection’s ethos, V Villas Maldives at Mirihi intertwines luxury with meaningful impact. Under the brand’s Committed to Her pillar, the resort is partnering with Mom’s Aid to support and empower local women, fostering genuine connections within the Maldivian community.
V Villas Maldives at Mirihi – MGallery Collection offers travellers a refined, soulful take on Maldivian luxury – one where design, cuisine, wellness, and authentic experiences come together in perfect harmony with the ocean.
