Tropical southern Myanmar is currently the hottest emerging destinations in Southeast Asia. In the past few years, the Mergui Archipelago of 800 islands has become more accessible to visitors and the first resorts are beginning to open up. The Archipelago has potential to become the next Maldives once quality accommodations begin operating on its pristine islands. The crystal clear warm waters and deserted white sand beaches and jungle covered islands are true nature’s paradise, conditions that are becoming increasingly rare in the region.

In addition to mid-market sailing yachts Mergui (Myeik) Archipelago has become a new destination for ultra-luxury yachts like Dunia Baru, Lamima and Silolona which you can book through Discovery VIP travel.
