Luxury Couples Adventure In Myanmar

DAY 1 The Flight to Mandalay

Start your Myanmar adventure this afternoon by jetting off from the UK to the exotic city of Mandalay. It's an overnight flight to Bangkok and then on to Mandalay with the first flight taking 11-and-a-half-hours.

DAY 2 Bagan

After breakfast, you'll be driven to the airport to catch a half-an-hour domestic flight to Bagan. You'll be met at Bagan Airport and transferred to the next amazing hotel we've chosen for you. Once you've checked in, enjoy the rest of the day to yourself until it's time to leave for a sunset cruise along the Irrawaddy River. Watch local fishermen casting their nets as the setting sun turns the water golden. See riverside villages and farmer's carts pulled by oxen. Moor up and explore deserted, pagoda-style temples before visiting the awe-inspiring, gold domed Shwezigon Pagoda, one of the most elaborate Buddhist temples in Myanmar.

After an evening visit to the Thanakha Museum, to discover the role wood has played in the lives of the Myanmar people, you'll join the busy throng of locals at a typical night market.

DAY 3 Lake Inle

Enjoy breakfast at the hotel before being driven to Bagan Airport to catch a forty-minute flight to Heho. Take in the stunning scenery and pay a visit to the Shwe Yan Pyay Monastery on the 45-minute drive from Heho Airport to the waterside town of Nyaung Shwe.

You'll have time to explore Nyaung Shwe a little or visit the local street market before going down to the jetty to catch the boat across Lake Inle to your hotel.

Check-in, then chill out for the rest of the day in this amazing lakefront location.

DAY 4 Yangon

After breakfast it's time to leave Lake Inle. Make the boat crossing back to Nyaung Shwe and then transfer back to Heho Airport for the hour-long flight to Yangon. You'll be met by your chauffeur and be taken to the elegant hotel we've chosen for you in Yangon. Check-in, relax or spend time exploring until early evening when it'll be time for sky-high cocktails in the Yangon Yangon (so good they named it twice) rooftop bar in the Sakura Tower. Take in the panoramic views over the salt/sugar-coated rim of your cocktail glass before catching the lift down and jumping into the rickshaw which will transport you between your three different dining venues this evening.

You'll try traditional Burmese cuisine at an excellent local restaurant that doubles as an antiques gallery. Next it's on to a restaurant famed for its curries before pudding and your herbal infusion of choice (or another cocktail) at the fun Rangoon Tea House. Go to bed happy and full.

DAY 5 Transfer Yangon to Wa Ale Island Resort

Wave goodbye to the pagodas of Yangon on your way to the airport to catch your plane to Kawthuang. The flight to the Mergui Archipelago takes around two-and-a-half hours. You could try spotting the island you're going to through the plane window, but as there's about eight hundred to choose from it might prove quite tricky. It's just a 15-minute drive from Kawthuang Airport to the jetty where you'll catch the ferry to the Lampi Marine National Park where your luxury island resort is located. It's a two-hour voyage, so sit back, relax and make the most of the sunshine and scenery until you arrive at Wa Ale Island where you'll be able to enjoy three glorious days of indulgent luxury in this idyllic beach location.
