Myanmar Highlights
The Mergui Archipelago is a spectacular chain of more than 800 pristine islands, forming one of Southeast Asia’s last untouched tropical paradises. Long closed to the outside world, the region remains remarkably unspoiled and largely undiscovered.
Crystal-clear turquoise waters teem with vibrant marine life, while powdery white sand beaches line lush, jungle-covered islands where nature still reigns undisturbed.
While cruising these remote islands, you may occasionally encounter the traditional fishing boats of the Moken sea nomads, the region’s indigenous people. Beyond this, signs of civilisation are rare, allowing guests to enjoy complete seclusion and the feeling of having their own private island paradise.
Welcome to Myanmar’s hidden gem - the Mergui Archipelago.
When & How to Go
The Mergui Archipelago lies in tropical waters, therefore, the temperature is warm and pleasant year-round. The temperature ranges between average highs of 28-33°C and average lows of 20-24°C.
Sailing is possible year-round however the best time for sailing in the Mergui is between November and April where the weather is warm, sunny and there is a steady breeze. In the months of March and April, the wind is relatively low, allowing for good diving and snorkelling. The rainy season spans from July to October, within these times there are strong winds and larger swells.
Charters to the Mergui Archipelago typically embark from Phuket, Thailand, offering a convenient international gateway with excellent flight connections. From Phuket, guests can cruise north toward Myanmar’s spectacular Mergui islands as part of an extended sailing itinerary.
Access to the archipelago is officially via Kawthaung, Myanmar, near the Thai border.
