MGallery Collection, the boutique hotel collection within Accor Group's luxury division, is proud to announce the signing of V Villas Maldives at Mirihi – MGallery Collection, a distinctive all-villa resort scheduled to open by the beginning of 2026 in the heart of the Maldives, located on the secluded and natural island of Mirihi in the South Ari Atoll. This inspiring transformation will mark MGallery's debut in the Maldives, adding to the brand's global collection of singular, story-inspired hotels.
The property, formerly known as Mirihi Island Resort, will undergo an extensive renovation and expansion before reopening under the MGallery Collection flag beginning of 2026. Designed by the award-winning Studio Gronda, an international architecture and design firm, V Villas Maldives at Mirihi – MGallery Collection will feature 42 luxurious villas, including a mix of beach villas, overwater villas, and expansive multi-bedroom suites with private pools — all conceived to immerse guests in the beauty of the Indian Ocean while embodying the intimacy and personality for which MGallery is renowned.
Embracing the art of quiet luxury, the resort is deeply rooted in Maldivian heritage. Shaped by ocean rhythms and named after the delicate Mirihi flower, the island offers a serene return to simplicity and an intentional pause that reconnects guests with themselves. Nestled amid vibrant coral reefs and a tranquil protected lagoon, V Villas Maldives at Mirihi – MGallery Collection harmonizes with its natural surroundings to create an atmosphere of elegance and effortless comfort.
Owned by VIE Maldives Pvt Ltd, a subsidiary of Thailand's Major Cineplex Group, the resort reflects the Group's continued commitment to creating extraordinary hospitality experiences in Asia's most iconic destinations. The owner, Vicha Poolvaraluck, is also behind several celebrated MGallery Collection properties in Thailand, including VIE Hotel Bangkok – MGallery Collection, V Villas Hua Hin – MGallery Collection, and V Villas Phuket – MGallery Collection.
Maud Bailly, CEO Sofitel Legend, Sofitel, MGallery & Emblems:“We are thrilled to launch this exceptional project bringing MGallery brand to one of the most aspirational destinations in the world - following the success of our three flagships in Bangkok, Hua Hin, and Phuket. The MGallery V Villas in Maldives will be a refined shelter, an authentic sanctuary where every stay relies on a deep connection with nature.”
"We are delighted to partner with MGallery Collection on this exceptional project. Supported by our deepening relationship with Accor, V Villas Maldives at Mirihi - MGallery Collection brings to life the brand's spirit of soulful travel and quiet luxury amidst the natural beauty of Mirihi island and Maldives' vibrant culture." - Mr. Vicha Poolvaraluk
Guests arriving at the resort will enjoy a seamless 25-minute seaplane journey from Malé International Airport, before being welcomed into a setting that balances relaxed sophistication with elevated design. The renovation project will include new interior concepts for all villas with coral-stone textures, the addition of a signature spa and wellness sanctuary, a new indoor and outdoor gym and yoga pavilion, upgraded F&B venues including an overwater restaurant, a brand new bar concept and the introduction of a main pool area.
The rebranding plan emphasizes a deep respect for the island's ecology, as well as meaningful guest experiences. It is curated for stillness and wonder, from immersive wellness journeys to the resort's acclaimed diving and snorkeling excursions among manta rays and whale sharks. The project is also part of Accor's ESG pilot program, with sustainability deeply embedded into its design, operations, and guest journey.
