Escape to one of the smallest resorts in the Maldives where a powdery soft beach, a vibrant house reef and authentic Maldivian hospitality await your arrival.

Mirihi Island Resort sits on a tiny speck of white sand just 350 metres long and 50 metres wide. Designed without TVs, motorised water sports or loud music, there is nothing to disturb the serenity of the island. Staff are attentive, and there is a complimentary yoga class every morning. Nestled on the beach or perched on stilts above the turquoise waters, Mirihi’s Beach and Water Villas are their own little sanctuaries, each with a private sundeck and sublime views of the endless horizon. When it comes to dining, there are a number of romantic venues and menus, from freshly caught seafood at over-water Muraka to themed nights at the sand-floored Dhonveli.

Ringed by a spectacular reef populated by sea turtles and rainbow-hued fish, Mirihi is a paradise for keen snorkelers and divers. A short boat ride will bring you to the South Ari Atoll Marine Protected Area where whale sharks and manta rays are spotted year-round. You can venture further afield on a fishing trip aboard Mirihi’s traditional dhoni boat, before enjoying some chill-out time with a movie on the beach.
