I am a solo traveller and I did not choose Mirihi my chance. I've travelled a lot around the world and have found only a few places like Mirihi. But in the end of the day, I was the lucky one. It IS a little paradise where time stops, where everything is made to make you feel comfortable, unique. I had not the only pleasure to enjoy the island, the food, the people (who are so nice, funny and kind) but I also had a great time (and adventure) with their diving center. Their team is not only formed by professionals who not only make you safe but with passionate persons who make you learn a lot about Maldives reef and fishes and all other kind of species you can see and find there. I was (once again) lucky to have a diving instructor who speaks my mother tong (French) and was very patient and considerate. I would not have imagined leaving Mirihi qualified as an Advanced open water diver (as I was only aiming for the open water qualification). Mirihi is unique in so many ways that the only thing is I want to go back!

This was our first visit to Maldives and I did a thorough research of all islands, that would be of our interest. Mirihi always came to the top of all lists of my “investigation”. We wanted a beautiful small island, not overly crowded, with a beautiful house reef, good snorkelling and nice accomodation. Already before we came to Mirihi, I knew that it was the right choice. Our stay at Mirihi was in fact wonderful! It far exceeded all our expectations by far (and they were high to begin with!). The island is like heaven on earth. It is much more beautiful then on the photos. The villas are nicely furnished and also all little details are great. Food is delicious. The staff and the service is just the best! Everybody is genuinely friendly and nice. Our special thanks goes to the staff of Dive center and to the waiters and house keeping. We tried several activities and they also exceeded our expectations. We did a whale shark seeker tour, night snorkelling and introductory dives. We were thrilled! We swam for 20 minutes with a whale shark so close that we could have touched it. I cannot find even one small thing that we would not like, let alone complain about. Mirihi is all about superlatives. We adored everything, it fullfilled our dreams about a paradise island. We will definitely come back. For us the stay here was an absolute 10/10.
