Set on a private island amid the warm waters of the azure
Indian Ocean, Mirihi Island Resort welcomes guests to experience secluded
Maldivian luxury in a spectacular setting.
Mirihi Island Resort is an exceptional property in the
Maldives, situated on an idyllic palm-fringed island with just 7 thatched beach
villas and 31 attractive water villas, all surrounded by a stunning house reef.
However, with so few rooms and such an excellent reputation for high quality,
good food, and relaxation, you will need to book very early (at least 12 months
ahead for Christmas and Easter) to avoid disappointment. Mirihi Island Resort
is just perfect for a quiet, intimate holiday or honeymoon.
The 37 tastefully appointed villas all have designer
furnishings, polished wooden floors, king-size or twin beds, air-conditioning,
a ceiling fan, and a fully stocked mini-bar. Beach Villas are extremely spacious
and boast an open-air bathroom and direct beach access. Water Villas are built
on stilts over the lagoon, all with large, luxurious bathrooms overlooking the
ocean through large sliding glass doors. The Two Bedroom Overwater Suite offers
the ultimate over-water experience, consisting of two bedrooms, two bathrooms,
a spacious living area, a furnished decking area, and its own jetty. The newest
addition to the resort is the Beach House, offering two bedrooms with open-air
bathrooms, a spacious living room, office space, kitchenette, and dining area,
plus direct access to the beach and spectacular ocean views from the first-floor
terrace. The resort is known as being a ‘no news, no shoes’ island, and as such
there has been a conscious decision not to supply televisions in the rooms –
however, for those who cannot live without the cricket score, there is a
satellite TV in the lobby!
Mirihi Island Resort has a superb reputation for its cuisine
and offers a range of dining venues. There is a sand-floored buffet restaurant
serving international specialties and local seafood, as well as a romantic,
over-water restaurant offering a la carte dining. There are also two bars, one
of which is a wine lounge showcasing around 300 wines from around the world,
and the other serves delicious cocktails and light snacks by the beach while
boasting the largest collection of fine rum in the Indian Ocean.
Guests staying on the island can take part in a good range
of water sports including snorkeling, kayaking, and stand-up paddleboarding,
while a highly regarded dive school caters to scuba divers of all abilities.
Back on dry land, facilities include a fully equipped fitness center, a yoga
pavilion where daily yoga classes are held, a beach cinema, one of the biggest
telescopes in the Maldives allowing for stargazing, and a relaxing spa. Varied
excursions allow guests to visit nearby reefs, seek out whale sharks, explore
local islands, and enjoy sunrise fishing trips, while other experiences include
beach barbeques, Maldivian cooking classes, cocktail classes, Champagne and
wine tasting, and more.
