'''Mirihi''' is a small island in the [Alif Dhaal Atoll](/source/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.<ref name="Gstaltmayr 2011">{{cite book | last=Gstaltmayr | first=Heiner | title=Malediven | publisher=Baedeker | location=Ostfildern | year=2011 | isbn=978-3-8297-1250-7 | page=126}}</ref>

The holiday resort consists of 38 guest bungalows consisting of 6 beach villas, 28 overwater villas and 2 overwater suites.<ref name=mirihi>{{cite web|url=http://www.mirihi.com/en/villas/overwater-suite/|title=Mirihi|publisher=Mirihi|accessdate=17 May 2017}}</ref>

== 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<ref name=oceanprofacebook>{{cite web|url=https://www.facebook.com/pg/OceanProMirihi/about/|title=Business Info Ocean-Pro Mirihi|publisher=Ocean-Pro Mirihi on Facebook|accessdate=17 May 2017}}</ref> the dive center on the island is operated by [http://www.mirihi.com/en/discovery/ocean-pro/ Ocean-Pro Mirihi]. They are a 5-star [PADI](/source/PADI) dive center.

The Madivaru "Manta Reef" is close by and is a location where a lot of [manta ray](/source/manta_ray)s 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](/source/Bat_ray), [Glassfish](/source/Ambassidae) and [Jacks](/source/Giant_trevally).
