Ngapali Beach ▼
The best beach resort in Myanmar, also once known as the
"Naples of the East", is located on the northern coast in
Rakhine State. Nagpali is an unpolluted, unspoiled beach
stretching over 3 km with crystal clear blue sea and clean
white sands fringed with coconut groves as far as your eyes
can see. This unspoiled beach is 35 minutes flight from
Yangon or 14 hour drive along the narrow winding road over
the Rakhine Yoma ( Mountain Range) after crossing the
Ayarwaddy River at Pyay (Prome).
There are no loud beachside bars, no rows of suntan-oiled
bodies basking in the sun and no vendors pressing you to buy
souvenirs. Instead guest will only find the idle seaside
character of - the sea, the sand and the sun. The fiery
sunset, for which the Bay of Bengal is noted for, can be
watched right from your doorstep. The 18-hole Golf course is
located 15 minutes drive from the beach to fulfil the taste
of beach golfers.
Nearby fishing villages are also interesting places for
visitors to the beach. If you are eager to have a look at
natural and primitive sceneries, it is where you can witness
how fishermen set and draw drift nets and how their family
supports them in the workplace. Ngapali Beach opens from
October to May.
