Myanmar Highlights
The Mergui Archipelago consists of 800 islands of pristine, untouched tropical paradise. The Mergui Islands have long been off-limits to the outside world, leaving the archipelago undiscovered and unspoilt by tourists. Due to this isolation, the Mergui Archipelago is alive with an amazing diversity of marine life tucked underneath turquoise waters. White sand beaches line the jungle covered mountains, where no civilisation inhabits. In the Mergui, occasionally one will pass a fishing boat of the local Moken people, but rarely any signs of civilisation, allowing you to discover your own private paradise in peace.
