Mirihi is a small Maldivian island in the southwest of the Ari Atoll in the Indian Ocean . Rangali Island is five kilometers northwest. The hotel complex on the tourist island was opened in 1989 and consists of 31 water bungalows built on stilts and six beach villas spread across the island. The island is named after a type of flower that is common on it.
Mirihi is a very popular island, especially among divers. Due to the strategically favorable location within the Südari Atoll, it is possible to visit whale shark and manta spots all year round. In 2001, an old steel fishing boat was sunk on Mirihi's house reef. It is 30 meters deep and the structures reach up to 18 meters. It is characterized by excellent vegetation and is easy to dive.
