Ngwe Saung Yacht Club & Resort

Myanmar (Burma)


Built for the 2013 Southeast Asian Games, this resort sprawls across a less-attractive stretch of the beach 5 miles south of Ngwe Saung Village. As the name suggests, there's a nautical theme, with a marina offering boats for hire (US$30 per hour), a diving club and nice pool. Rooms are modern, well appointed and comfortable, and the staff are professional.

The cheapest rooms, in an annexe to the side of the main resort, are relatively plain but still pleasant, and fan-only; guests can still use all the resort's facilities, which include a good restaurant.
