MGallery Collection, Accor’s boutique hotel division, will open V Villas Maldives at Mirihi – MGallery Collection in early 2026. Located on the secluded island of Mirihi in the South Ari Atoll, the resort marks MGallery’s first property in the Maldives.
The property, formerly Mirihi Island Resort, will undergo renovation and expansion before reopening under the MGallery flag. It will feature 42 villas, including beach and overwater villas, as well as multi-bedroom suites with private pools. The design reflects Maldivian heritage, ocean rhythms, and the island’s namesake flower, Mirihi, offering guests a tranquil retreat immersed in nature.
Owned by VIE Maldives, a subsidiary of Thailand’s Major Cineplex Group, the resort joins several MGallery properties in Thailand, including VIE Hotel Bangkok, V Villas Hua Hin, and V Villas Phuket.
Guests will arrive via a 25-minute seaplane journey from Malé International Airport. Renovations include redesigned interiors, a signature spa and wellness sanctuary, new indoor and outdoor fitness spaces, upgraded F&B venues with an overwater restaurant and new bar concept, and a main pool area. The project incorporates sustainability initiatives aligned with Accor’s ESG pilot programme, from eco-conscious design to operations and guest experiences.
MGallery Collection currently comprises over 120 boutique hotels worldwide, each with a unique story. With the addition of V Villas Maldives at Mirihi, the brand expands its footprint in premium leisure destinations.
