Introducing our new route for your escape from Shanghai:
Virtually unknown to the outside world, the Mergui Archipelago is located in Myanmar's (Burma's) remote south: a group of 800 deserted islands that lie at the heart of our sailing area.
Think white beaches lined with palm trees and dense jungle. Think swimming in azure water amongst colourful reef fish, spotting corals, and collecting seashells. Now, picture eagles circling above, gibbons and monitor lizards eyeing you from the thickets, while a sundowner is being mixed for you on board the yacht.
And best of all: you have this entire experience to yourself. You can sail for days on end and meet not a soul but the odd fisherman in a dugout canoe.
Just across from the Thai border, the archipelago opened to foreigners as recently as the late 1990s. With only a few of the 800 islands sparsely populated and a couple dozen visitors to the entire area each month, the Mergui Archipelago remains one of the planet’s most unspoilt destinations.
"The best place to get away from all tourists and tourists spots - a must do vacation for the next 3-4 years! I felt like an explorer - finding new beaches, islands and snorkeling areas every day. Luxury and adventure combined - could not think of a better way to spend my free time."
"We went as a couple - on the boat of our dreams."
urma Boating's luxury yacht has cabins for up to 9 guests to provide space for the perfect sailing holiday in Myanmar (Burma) and in Southeast Asia
