Mirihi Island Resort

We have just had a wonderful barefoot, tranquil 9 idyllic nights at Mirihi to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. We booked through Jo at Angelfish who is our go to travel agent for Maldive holidays. In our opinion Mirihi is the epitome of the perfect unspoilt Maldivian island. Arriving and walking along the jetty is a pinch me moment, seeing the perfect island and beautiful lagoon is quite emotional. The service is incredible, all the staff genuinely did everything they could to make our stay perfect. The food was way beyond expectations, and the full board plus package gave us everything we needed and more! Drinking sunset cocktails at Muraka, watching the sun go down and the fish jump while listening to Mohamed sing with his acoustic guitar was just so special, and something we will never forget. There is no getting away from the fact that the beach rooms are basic. They could really do with updating. Extra lighting and better storage and bathroom redesign is all that’s needed. The rooms are lovingly maintained and spotlessly cleaned every day. We had room 3 (again) which has the most beautiful secluded beachfront garden. The spa is also basic but has a stunning location and the entrance is lovely and tropical. The two spa ladies worked their magic during our massages so much that we returned three times. We would have booked more excursions, but they are eye wateringly expensive. This is the only negative we could say about the holiday. Reducing the cost would make the experience much better and allow us to do more excursions. $50 pp ++ to go to the house reef you can almost swim to is just to expensive. Ultimately, it’s the people on Mirihi that made our time so special, especially: Our room boy Shihan was the nicest and mostly friendly room boy who’s cleaning is excellent. The “egg man” aka “Maldvian Mr Bean!” was always full of joy and made fantastic egg Benedict’s for us even though they are not on the menu. Our favourite bar waiter is Sudath he was always sincere and gentle, he always made sure we were having a wonderful evening and knew our drinks after the first night. Mohamed the waiter serving sunset drinks on Muraka was always very friendly and very smiley, and again knew what we wanted after the first day. The lovely housekeeping Manager Pawan was extremely friendly and caring when we needed our power restored. He always stopped for a chat when he saw us passing. Our thanks also go to Roman for his fantastic hospitality and keeping us entertained, Roman is a real credit to the island and he has a bright future ahead in hosptality. Mirhi will forever have a very special place in our hearts, its such a perfect island....we hope it never changes.

A wonderful and magical place... The quality of service and kindness were consistently very high. The cleanliness of the place, the quality of the food... It was simply an unforgettable experience for us! Thank you for the opportunity to spend an unforgettable week here :)
