Myanmar is not yet known for it’s seaside resorts. However, only 45-minutes flight from Yangon hidden between palm trees is Ngapali Beach in the Bay of Bengal, an ideal place for everyone who loves the sea, sun and sand - swimming, snorkeling or leisure strolls along the ocean. Board a boat to explore the offshore islands or rent a bicycle for a trip to the fishing villages and colorful markets nearby. Ngapali Beach offers numerous attractions for the more ‘laid back’ traveler to explore. In November 1999 finally two international standard hotels opened their doors for cosmopolitan guests to Ngapali Beach.
