Mirihi Island Resort

It's been our 4th time on beautiful Mirihi as it has everything that we are looking for for a relaxing vacation. You can leave your shoes at home as this is a barefoot island with powdery sand everywhere. Every employee is so friendly and kind, it feels like coming home every time! We stayed at a water villa (No. 29), which is probably the furthest away from reception, restaurant etc. That means, you have a beautiful view over the ocean (sunrise) and only see a couple of snorkelers during the day who swim past your villa. You can also get into the turqouise, warm water straight from your villa and enjoy the beautiful house reef. The villa itself could be slightly bigger and has aged a little but it has everything you need including complimentary water and cookies. Housekeeping does a superb job, everything is very clean and tidy. It's important to mention that the team most of the time cleaned our room when we were having breakfast or dinner. That way we were never disturbed when we were in our villa! The food - oh gosh, what can I say! It's off the charts! Felix and his team do an amazing job. Every dish is special and cooked/prepared with so much attention to detail it's simply amazing! Be prepared to put yourself on a diet after you return home! The buffet is beautifully decorated with the ingredients of the dishes on display, which adds a very nice touch! Our favourite was the Maldivian night because you were able to taste all the wonderful curries and specialties that the Maldives have to offer. During breakfast you have so much to choose from, including a cooking station where you can order any egg dish you like. The scuba diving is also an experience! The Ocean Pro Team offers 2-tank dives in the morning and 1-tank dives in the afternoon. Be prepared for wonderful coral reefs, a lot of fishes, turtles, rays etc - if you are lucky you also get to see manta rays or whalesharks. If you are interested in further scuba diving certification, the team also offers that. Everyone (dive masters, boat team) is super friendly and you can tell that they enjoy their jobs. Mirihi is being refurbished in 2025 so we are unfortunately unlikely coming back next year, but we'll definitely come back!

A small paradise with unique staff and unprecedented dinner experience. The staff did the little extra for you everyday, all time without being uncomfortable for you. The yoga classes was a very nice experience with an experienced teacher. The snorkelling was easy to access and a lot to discover and see all around the island. The water just stunning.
