Wa Ale Island Resort is the first hotel to open in Myanmar's Myeik Archipelago, located on one of 800 jungle-covered islands in the Andaman Sea. Let yourself be swept away by the wild spirit of Wa Ale: daring dives, jungle hikes, and kayaking expeditions await you. In the evening, reflect on the day over a sundowner before sampling Chef Ray's Burmese noodle salads, vegetable curries, and grilled fish. A new day dawns as the first rays of sunshine shine into your spacious tented villa in the morning.
After a day of hiking, diving, or paddleboarding, treat yourself to a wonderful massage on your private terrace—or relax at the Ayurvedic forest spa right on the beach. An Ayurvedic doctor will be happy to put together a personalized wellness plan for you. Explore the archipelago's coral reefs and sea caves with local PADI diving instructors, or discover the island's rivers and mangroves by kayak. Animal lovers can hike through the jungle with the local naturalist to observe leatherback turtles, monkeys, pangolins, hornbills, ospreys, and sunbirds.
Choose between one of the tented villas on the beach or one of the three thatched villas high up in the treetops. The spacious villas at Wa Ale skillfully combine comfort, privacy, and the ultimate romance of the surrounding nature. Look forward to private teak terraces with plenty of opportunities for lounging, king-size four-poster beds with mosquito nets, uninterrupted views of the sea and jungle, and stunning indoor and outdoor bathrooms for unforgettable showers under the stars.
Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are served in the open-air pavilion with sea views, which was built from the wood of old fishing boats and traditional Burmese buildings. Chef Ray creates a new menu every day to make the most of the organic produce from the hotel's own garden and the catch of the day. In the evening, sit under the starry sky and enjoy Asian and Mediterranean-inspired dishes such as stone-baked pizza, grilled duck breast, masala-spiced fish, pork belly curries, and crab dumplings. The beach bar tempts guests with great cocktails, casual barbecues, and excellent local beer.
Located in southern Myanmar on a secluded jungle island, Wa Ale Island Resort is an enchanting retreat where you can leave everyday life completely behind. Far away from the crowded tourist centers, you will experience incredible hospitality and, above all, heavenly tranquility in the midst of one of the most fascinating landscapes on our planet. At Wa Ale Island Resort, you can choose to stay in one of the eleven comfortable Tented Beach Villas or opt for one of the three exclusive Treetop Villas.
