Mrauk U Princess

Mrauk U Princess, Mrauk U, Myanmar (Burma)

This property is by far the most comfortable accommodation option in Mrauk U. A sister property to the Inle Princess Resort at Inle Lake, it is adjacent to the small fishing village of Aung Dat on the east bank of the Kaladan River. Set in its own private grounds, the resort creates its own sustainable energy using locally-grown rice husks. Accommodation is in 21 village houses, all spacious, stilted and styled as a traditional Rakhine home. Each has a private terrace overlooking the pretty gardens, rice paddies or the river. The restaurant serves home-grown rice with traditional Rakhine dishes, as well as European and vegetarian fare. The spa offers a range of treatments, including local herbal therapies. The resort also has private boats that make the return journey between Sittwe and Mrauk U.
