First-Timers: Bayview - The Beach Resort

Let's face it: Myanmar's beach might not be the first thing that pops up in your head when it comes to spending some days under the tropical sun. Ngapali Beach's being unspoiled and remarkably quieter (compared to Thailand) makes the cut. For those who have settled on Ngapali, this nice boutique resort meets their needs for:

  • Beachfront: The beach portion is definitely superb: the central 1000-meter stretch of Ngapali's 7-km coastline, slightly tucked in and giant palm trees create cool shade on its soft, quiet and white-sandy beach.
  • Room of great comfort and value: Every and each of its 45 bungalows and rooms has private terrace and balcony either facing the garden or the ocean. Deluxe Room with Garden View is our pick for most first-timers; 48sqm / 516sqft on the ground floor of a lush tropical garden, room price starts from USD120 with breakfast included.

Luxury Stay: Ngapali Bay Villas & Spa

When it comes to luxury, however, Ngapali, or Myanmar overall, is somehow shy of options. Besides the common luxury brand of Hilton or local finest Aureum Palace, Ngapali Bay Villas & Spa aims for a more intimate experience with all its modern and state-of-art facilities. Just shred down your bars for utmost luxury for a tad, your stay where will be brimmed with unexpected delight that comes more from the services and surrounding, rather than the hard facilities.

  • Beachfront stay: Also featuring an extensive private beach, beachfront villas on the first line have only a few steps into the ocean. The British Architect, David Wordsworth has done a great job of blending the oceanic features into Burmese style, topping which is a touch of modern comfort.
    Our room of favorite is Sea Front Villa with Plunge Pool. For those who enjoy intimacy and privacy, chilling out by the private plunge pool or relaxing up in the hot tub completes an awesome holiday. Room service, in-room DVD player, a sitting area decorated in marbles and sandstone brought from Yesagyo, Pakkoku District in central Myanmar, all catering to a relaxing stay only a bit shy of your home comfort.
  • Exclusive experiences: Multiple-night stay from 3 nights are offered with amazing packages such as private boat trips to the nearby island, special dinner or spa treatment. Their Traditional Myanmar Massage and Aromatherapy Wellbeing Massage are excellent reasons to waste your days away in an enchanting and relaxing atmosphere. There also have some delightful packages only for honeymooners.
    Most travelers would stay here for at least three nights. If you get tired of sunbathing, just take on their biking adventures, hiking trips to isolated villages or trekking up to Arakan Mountains, at 3100 m (10,000 ft).

Budget-Friendly: Ngapali Bay Villas & Spa

Although Ngapali Beach is welcoming more and more upmarket travelers, it still has plenty of options for great-value stays. Budget-friendly accommodations range from family-run guesthouses to decent 3-star hotels; some specialty lodgings also make the cut. We'd suggest Ngapali Paradise Hotel. This newly-built 3-star hotel picks a tranquil corner of the beach and all the white-walled buildings all face the ocean.

  • Great-value stay: This hotel is not selling itself for the private beach section, which, however, is truly beautiful. The biggest draw lies its combination of cozy rooms, ocean view, close distance to the airport (just 10 minutes of walking!), and room price starting from USD75 per night. No wonder many travelers would spend a week there.
  • The room: The room has pretty much everything that you need for a good night: soft bed, view of the ocean, quiet, fully-equipped bathroom and living room, and a private balcony to chill with a cold drink (they have fridges in every room). Also, it allows one free extra bed in every room for children under 12 years old.
  • Walking around: As this hotel is great for long stay, travelers would love to walk around the neighborhood. Within 10 minutes of walking, you can find some great places to eat: 3 Pots Restaurant, K2 Restaurant and many food stands at the Ngapali Market. The lovely Ma Zin Village makes a fun half-day visit, too.

Family: The Thande Hotel - Ngapali

While Ngapali Beach is more of a choice for nature lovers or those who prefer tranquilness, families would also have a blast here. For families of 3 or 4, The Thande Hotel -- Ngapali, is an ideal value winner. This new hotel saw its first family vacationers back in 2017 and it's keeping up with catering for families with its wholesome services: spacious room, reasonable price for extra bed or even better two separate rooms connected for the kids and adults, plenty things to do, and overall awesome value for money.

  • Good-looking bills: Children under 12 years old can share one bed with one adult. For families of 3, it's possible to take up only one room; for 4 or more, getting two or three connecting rooms wouldn't cost much, either. Room footage of 46sqm / 495sqft and up is ample enough for families with a lot of luggage; seating area and private balcony pumps up the stay. Room prices (including extra bed) start from USD80, which is quite a great deal for family trips.
    Round-trip airport shuttle transfer is offered free of charge, which takes about 20 minutes for one-way. Ironing and laundry services are charged at a low price. Their lush garden is nice to walk around and the garden view room has better soundproofing, which might be great for little babies.

Most travelers rate their breakfast as fabulous.
    The hotel owns a fairly shallow bay that is good for the first dipping for your kids. To keep your kids entertained, the hotel offers bike rental, fishing, snorkeling and children-friendly TV channels and babysitting services would give you some time for your own -- time to relax at their top-notch spa center.
