The brand has announced the signing of V Villas Maldives at Mirihi – MGallery Collection, an exclusive all-villa resort set to debut in early 2026 on the secluded island of Mirihi in the Maldives’ South Ari Atoll.
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.
“We are thrilled to launch this exceptional project bringing the 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,” said Maud Bailly, CEO Sofitel Legend, Sofitel, MGallery & Emblems.
