When we have booked our vacation on Mirihi Island, we knew that this is going to be an excellent place. But the reality just outperformed our expectations. We have received a great service, we have been treated like we are special and it was very hard for us to leave.

The staff at the hotel is perfectly trained, they are thinking about every detail and you are left only to enjoy the nature, the food and your time.

We have stayed at one of the water villas and although our teenage daughter was with us, the room was big enough. It is clean and has all the facilities needed.

The food was exceptional. Great variety of excellent products, fruits seafood and meat. The service in the restaurant was great, the wine list very long and we have enjoyed the breakfast and dinner time with great pleasure.
We have been on Half Board and we made good choice as they offer all day a la cart menu and snack on the bar, so you can have your lunch any time you need according to your mood or diving schedule.
The dive center is also professionally run. Staff is helpful, careful and and very well organised.

Customer service was exceptional. They accommodate any need we had. They organised a private movie show on the beach for three of us on our wedding anniversary. Big screen, great surround sound system and popcorn, just on the beach.

As for the reef- like everything else on this island- just great! We have spent more time in the water than out of it. Very close, easily accessible and full of all colorful life Maldives has to offer.

Thank you!

We’ve been lucky to visit a lot of fun places and stay in several excellent resorts and hotels. But it’s the extraordinarily rare find that pulls it all together, that someone, somehow, figured out how to create a near perfect guest experience in paradise.

But it’s obviously more than one person, it’s the team that looks after you during your stay. It’s the impeccable little touches they provide (the perfectly placed lounge chairs so you feel like a castaway, the cool towels before dinner, the way messages are delivered to your room), along with a daily welcome beyond compare.

The reviews on the site are spot on, so no need to be repetitive. What I will pair were my concerns I had about the place before we arrived, and how those were addressed.

1. The small size of the island. While we chose Mirihi for part of our celebration, I thought the island might not be big enough for us. Two bars and restaurants sounded a bit stifling, and we thought we might trip over the other guests continually. What’s strange is that the island feels much bigger than it is, with many private places tucked into palm trees, and it is rare to run into more than a handful of guests anywhere, except for the dive boats which makes sense. No shoes allowed, and every common area is wonderful, white sand.

2. The buffet. Others have touched on this, but still. A buffet? Could we really eat most of our meals at such a place? I know, it sounds snobby but we typically really like to order our food and our buffet experiences other than breakfast have been poor. The reality is that they need to to re-brand whatever this is at Mirihi, which is culinary excellence in the form of many, varied dishes, both local and familiar. The food is so incredible, credit to Alex and Fernando and the cooks behind the scenes, that it is difficult to describe. For your purposes, just view it as an absolute strength of this property versus a concern.

Go to this special place. They will exceed your highest expectations.

For fun, my wife and I attempted to nitpick and all we came up with was that their knives are a bit dull (haha that’s how desperate we were to come up with something) and the WiFi (very good) drops sometimes as you move around the resort but you can pick it up within a minute or two.

We will come back.... and we rarely revisit anywhere!!! This place is exceptional and a rare find!!! You should visit!!!

My wife and I recently visited Mirihi from the United States. Everything was perfect from the lounge at the Male airport to the arrival at the island to the villas and meals. We enjoyed a whale shark excursion and snorkeling with manta rays. I was immediately struck when we arrived at the small, intimate resort by how many guests were repeat visitors. It was an unforgettable visit and expect we will make the long trip from the US to Mirihi again sometime in the future.
