MB around or MBA round: Ngapali, another paradise (but not exactly during off season)

Our dream trip came to an end today, as we left Ngapali.

Ngapali Beach was very recently named the best beach in Asia. I would describe it as a jungle at the beach. It includes vast empty beaches, an endless greenish sea, a few good looking waterfront resorts and very dense tropical vegetation occupying all the remaining empty spaces. It’s gorgeous and it’s relaxing. We just did not come in the right time of the year.

Our days in Ngapali were more eventful than expected. To start with, as I mentioned before, we had booked an hotel elsewhere. Thus, we spent a couple of hours looking for our (inexistent) hotel, and then trying to book another one. We ended up staying at Amata Resort & Beach, where two friends of ours from Portugal were staying as well. The hotel could potentially be awesome during season. We truly believe so. However, our experience on the first days was not the best. Half of the hotel was closed and covered in blue and green fabrics to protect it against the rain, making it look quite decadent. The weather was not great either. The wifi barely worked, which killed my plans of reviewing my French skills for my exam this Thursday. On top of it all, we found a bug in our toilet on our second night at the resort…

We ended up leaving the hotel one day in advance, as flights back to Yangon were all busier than expected and we could not book one for the 23rd. Thankfully, our last morning in Ngapali proved us how this place is very close to being paradise. Everything looked much more beautiful in the sun. The sea's temperature was perfect, as well as its amount of waves. We were served breakfast outside, by the sea. We even worked out with the most amazing views! What a morning and what a way of finishing our vacations in Myanmar!

It’s time to move on to Singapore! Let it all begin!
