Amara Ocean, located at the end of a remote, bumpy road on the northern stretch of Ngapali beach, is the embodiment of a castaway experience in Burma. A collection of 24 thoughtfully created teak bungalows, nestled amongst the palms on the edge of the stunning beach.
We’ve remarked elsewhere that Ngapali is rugged and still unsullied by the mass market. Some may even say that it still has a wild streak, with untamed, jungle-clad hillsides and largely deserted beaches. And Amara Ocean is where you will see best experience this unspoiled atmosphere first-hand, with a few typically Burmese quirks along the way.
As with all remote Burmese hotels, the local cuisine is great (and here the seafood is superb!) but the Western fare can be expensive and a little hit and miss.
Not a lot. Amara Ocean is on the northern part of Ngapali beach, so the restaurants and amenities of the main part of Ngapali are a reasonable drive away. Come here to hole up and escape the world.
