Hotels in Myanmar

The Union of Myanmar (formerly known as the Union of Burma until 1989) is a little known nation which, at its core, is filled with pure optimism and irrefutable natural beauty. One large part of its appeal lies in the nations infectious sense of spirituality – you will discover this as you explore the largest collection of Buddhist temples in the world, and the selfless devotees that worship in them. After decades of international isolation (due to suffering the world's longest civil war spanning 70-years), this stunning Southeast Asian nation boasts a strong and vibrant Buddhist culture and a seemingly endless expanse of pristine forests relatively untouched by the modern world. For the adventurous spirit who longs for witnessing unparalleled beauty off the beaten path, discover the faded grandeur of ancient Burma's historic palaces, explore abandoned temples, and trek through remote hilltribe villages; Myanmar truly is an intriguing and historically rich country.

The temples in Bagan truly are a sight to behold. You will finally understand the meaning of tranquillity as you watch flocks of colourful birds glide peacefully over ancient stupas made of sand and the dusty fields that glow during golden hour. There are thousands of glorious pagodas that rest in Bagan, dotting the skyline as hot air balloons float overhead. You will witness many storybook scenes like this is the magical wonder that is Myanmar.

There are countless ancient temples of gold and white and everything in between that exist around each and every turn in Myanmar. Marvel at the perfect symmetry and flowing lines of the Manalay's stunning Hsinbyume pagoda or lay eyes upon the oldest pagoda in the entire world in Yangon – if you've always yearned to take a step back in time, Myanmar is the place to be.
