(PRESS RELEASE) MALDIVES, 2026-Jun-5 — /Travel PR News/ — MGallery Collection has announced the opening of V Villas Maldives at Mirihi – MGallery Collection, marking the brand’s debut in the Maldives with an intimate all-villa retreat set on the private island of Mirihi in the South Ari Atoll.

Surrounded by turquoise waters, white-sand beaches and the natural calm of one of the Maldives’ most pristine islands, the resort has been designed as a refined escape shaped by Maldivian heritage, ocean serenity and contemporary hospitality. Accessible by a 30-minute seaplane journey from Malé, V Villas Maldives at Mirihi offers guests a secluded setting where privacy, design and a strong connection to place come together.

The property features 42 spacious villas located across the lagoon and along the island’s white sandy beach. These include four new luxury overwater villas with expansive private pools, panoramic ocean views and private butler service. Each villa has been created to offer a sense of calm and openness, with indoor and outdoor spaces that allow guests to experience the island’s natural beauty throughout their stay.

Designed by Studio Gronda, the resort’s architecture draws inspiration from the Maldives’ coastal landscape and artisanal traditions. Handwoven lattices filter sunlight into soft patterns, textured stone and timber bring warmth to the interiors, and coral-inspired ceramics crafted by Maldivian artisans reflect the living forms of the reef. Neutral tones, local pinewood, linen textures and sunlit surfaces create an understated sense of luxury across the villas.

The resort’s signature suite, Mirihi Maa, offers generous indoor-outdoor living, a private pool and direct access to the lagoon, making it suitable for families and groups seeking privacy, space and connection. At the heart of the property, the Coral Ceramic Wall stands as a design focal point, glazed in reef-blue tones and created as a tribute to the island’s natural and artisanal identity. The Akoya Sea Lounge continues this calm aesthetic, with neutral interiors and a striking rope chandelier suspended above the space.

Dining at V Villas Maldives at Mirihi is centred on storytelling through local flavours, fresh ingredients and the relationship between land and sea. Dhonvelli, the all-day dining venue, combines barefoot island hospitality with ocean-to-table cuisine, open-air terraces and locally sourced produce. Muraka, the resort’s main overwater restaurant, celebrates the flavours of the ocean, with its signature freshly caught Maldivian lobster flambéed tableside and prepared with Muraka rum, coconut curry, kaffir lime and palm sugar.

As evening falls, Akoya Sea Lounge offers a relaxed setting for sunset cocktails and conversation by the ocean. Its signature cocktail, the Maldivian Glow, blends Mirihi’s own Muraka rum with coconut liqueur and sun-dried pineapple, reflecting the golden tones and tropical character of the island.

Wellbeing is another central part of the resort experience. Mirihi Spa has been designed as a sanctuary of stillness and renewal, with treatments inspired by island botanicals, Maldivian traditions and modern wellness techniques. Guests can choose from ocean mineral salt scrubs, intuitive body massages, infrared sea bath rituals, sound healing ceremonies, guided meditation and aerial yoga overlooking the water. The signature treatment is inspired by the energy of Mirihi Island and honours the balance of the five elements through a full-body massage using warm seashells.

Every MGallery Collection property features an M Moment, a distinctive experience designed to create a lasting memory. At V Villas Maldives at Mirihi, this experience takes place aboard Mirihi Thari, a luxury yacht chartered exclusively for resort guests. The full-day voyage across Ari Atoll gives guests the opportunity to encounter whale sharks, manta rays and turtles in their natural habitat, with diving, snorkelling, shaded decks, drinks and chef-prepared canapés included as part of the journey.

The resort also reflects MGallery Collection’s commitment to local communities and purposeful travel. Through the brand’s Committed to Her pillar, V Villas Maldives at Mirihi is collaborating with Mom’s Aid to support and empower women in the local community.
