Bayview Beach Resort

Right on the sandy shores of Ngapali, the Bayview Beach Resort has 45 simply decorated, but comfortable bungalows, rooms and suites in which guests can stay for some relaxed beach time in Burma’s premier seaside destination.

Families are just as welcome at the Bayview as couples, with the larger suites housing two bedrooms. All the spacious accommodation options have either a view of the gardens or the beach, and private courtyards and terraces.

There are two restaurants with a choice of western and eastern cuisine. The Catch is where you can sample Asian dishes and fresh seafood, and it’s in the Sunset Bar that you can satisfy any cravings for sandwiches and pizzas, along with a cocktail or two during happy hour. In the Lobby Cafe, high tea is served.

A swimming pool with a sundeck and a massage/beauty centre mean you can easily spend your time chilling out in the hotel, but equally, an array of activities offer plenty of options for those with itchy feet. Naturally, the beachside setting means water sports are high on the agenda, with activities including kayaking, snorkelling, windsurfing, hobie cat sailing and fishing.
