Important travel advisory: Myanmar is a place that is close to our hearts, in large part for the beauty and character of the Burmese people themselves. So it is with great sadness that, given current FCDO travel advice, we have suspended our trips to this magical country. We are monitoring the situation closely and will resume our tours once it is safe – and ethical – to do so.
It seems there is a tendency for visitors to Myanmar to overlook Ngapali Beach. We are baffled. What is there not to like about a long, wide, fine sandy beach, with gently lapping warm turquoise waters and superb seafood?
Unlike Burma generally, Ngapali – supposedly named years ago by a homesick Italian reminiscing about Napoli – doesn’t offer endless cultural temptations, but that’s no bad thing. Most people are at the point of cultural overload by the time their journeys around the country are drawing to a close. So what could be better than flying to Thandwe on the remote western coast and letting your mind drift off whilst your body tops up on some vitamin D?
