Ngapali Beach

This tropical waterfront is located in Rakhine State the former Arakan facing the Bay of Bengal. 

The next airport is between this beach and Thandwe (which was Sandoway during colonial time) which makes it just a 15 minutes’ drive to the reach the aircraft. Ngapali is about three km long and has almost white sand and very clear water.

There is nothing around, no industry or harbor which makes it ideal for clean holiday in a exotic, tropical setting real far away but to be on the safe side since Yangon is only an hour flight away. Traveling there? Try this that’s the shortest trip out of Yangon Airport

Ngapali Beach and tropical adventure

Swaying coconut palms and casuarina needle trees await you and a fisherman village a couple of minutes’ walk away is great daytrip. You can watch them doing the complete job from bringing in the catch to sorting, drying and selling the seafood, it’ still all traditional handwork.

That’s the right destination for exotic tropical vacation.


The place is very far away, pristine, long and exotic with different level of accommodations although most are on the high end. There are not many waterborne activities, no jet ski and similar it’s just a quiet place to unwind, let the legs hang down and enjoy the panorama of the Bay of Bengal which is a great location anyway. Have you ever heard of anyone who was at the “Bay of Bengal”? 

No animation to do this and that, just friendly people who try to make your stay comfortable and are there when you need them at other time they leave you alone. If you want to take a companion with you have a look in the nightlife scene of Yangon.
