Mirihi
Mirihi is a small island in the Alif Dhaal Atoll. It measures approximately 300m by 50m.
Since 1989 hosts a "tourist island" and it was the first island in the Maldives with overwater bungalows.[1]
The holiday resort consists of 38 guest bungalows consisting of 6 beach villas, 28 overwater villas and 2 overwater suites.[2]
House Reef & Diving
Mirihi's house reef is worthy of note as it is in excellent condition and accessible directly from the resort's beach.
Since 1994[3] the dive center on the island is operated by Ocean-Pro Mirihi. They are a 5-star PADI dive center.
The Madivaru "Manta Reef" is close by and is a location where a lot of manta rays can be found year-round.
In September 2000 a small trawler called the "Madi-ge", which can be translated as "House of Rays", was sunk to 22 meters close to the house reef allowing wreck divers to explore it. The "Madi-ge" lies bow down in the sand and attracts Batfish, Glassfish and Jacks.
