Reasons To
Visit Burma

  • Boat trips

    The famous Irrawaddy River flows through the heart of the country for 2,000km to a vast Delta region southwest of Rangoon and provides an important role in everyday life. A journey on this most majestic of rivers is a highlight of any trip.

    Boat trips
  • Hill tribes

    Burma is home to an astonishing number of ethnicities each with their own traditional dress and customs, and in many cases, language and religion. For the most rewarding encounters we recommend heading to the hills of Shan state where it’s possible to stay in remote villages and receive the most genuine of welcomes and hospitality.

  • History

    Burma is steeped in history and the legacy of various kingdoms and rule is very much in evidence throughout the country from former ancient capitals and grandiose royal palaces around Mandalay to the faded colonial grandeur of Rangoon’s municipal buildings built by British hands.

  • Local markets

    Whether you are shopping for gems in Rangoon’s Scott Market, betel nut in Kalaw or intricate lacquerware in Pagan there is no better way to immerse yourself in the way of life than to soak up the atmosphere of a local market.

  • Temples

    Wherever you travel in Burma you will only be footsteps away from a temple providing an opportunity to witness the quiet reverence of the Burmese people. Climb up to a viewpoint amongst the ancient stupas of Pagan at sunset, visit stilted temples by boat at Inle Lake or marvel at the shimmering Shwedagon Pagoda.

Accommodation in Burma: Sandoway Resort

The ultimate place to relax after sightseeing around Burma. Sophisticated, quiet, relaxing, don’t tell too many people about this hidden gem.

Activities, Sports & Relaxation

The resort runs its own private transfer service to/from the airport in a converted WWII bus (many are still seen in their original state in the former capital Rangoon). There is a stunning swimming pool, one of the largest at Ngapali, with adjacent Reading Lounge and library.

An excellent spa offers an extensive range of treatments. As room facilities at the Sandoway do not have television, the Sandoway has recently added a small cinema to its facilities which will play any film of your choosing from an extensive list, even if there are just two of you!

The resort has its own water purification system and 24-hour electricity with back up generator.

There is a nine-hole Golf Course a ten minute drive from the hotel. The hotel can arrange various sightseeing trips in the local area, including fishing and boat trips, snorkelling and windsurfing.
