Mirihi has reopened as MGallery: choose the villa for a private pool

Mirihi reopened in June 2026 as V Villas Maldives at Mirihi – MGallery Collection, adding 4 overwater villas with private pools. Returning to an old favourite? Ask which category replaces your previous villa before booking: the island keeps its name, while the accommodation has changed.

Mirihi’s pool beside the beach and lagoon, in the June 2026 MGallery launch imagery

What changes

The former Mirihi Island Resort returns with 42 villas and a new brand. The clearest addition is 4 overwater villas with private pools, a combination to request by name rather than assume across the beach and lagoon accommodation.12

Studio Gronda’s redesign brings together timber, pale fabrics and coral-inspired ceramics. Mirihi Maa is the signature accommodation, with a private pool and direct lagoon access. For a family stay, ask for the floor plan and bedroom arrangement before letting the terrace photograph make the decision.1

The journey is a seaplane flight of around 30 minutes from Malé. Start with your international arrival: ask whether it connects to the island that day, then request the total transfer charge for everyone travelling. The booking still needs both flights to fit.1
