Rooms

Sandoway has 25 deluxe rooms and 15 cottages, each built in a two-storey design with an open air veranda, a perfect spot for reading and relaxing. The ground level living area is tastefully decorated with lounge divan, writing desk and chairs with direct access to the veranda. A skylight sunroof brings natural sunlight into the spacious bathroom. The bedroom on the upper floor takes in the cool sea breeze from the Bay of Bengal.

Located in an exclusive setting with a private check-in area, the resort also offers 19 villas which offer ultimate seclusion. With 120 square metres of luxury living space, the villas' open-plan interior seamlessly blends bedroom and living space, with large sliding doors opening onto a private veranda. A spiral stairway leads to an upper level where a private loft with beautiful picture window showcases the serene views of the gardens and the sea.

Please note that to minimise noise, the rooms do not have TVs and an international phone line is only available from reception.

Deluxe rooms

The 25 deluxe rooms are relatively spacious at 75 square metres and are located toward the rear of the resort. The majority are spread across two floors.

Village Cottages

There are ten Village Cottages with 80 square metres of living space, all located in the middle of the resort. Some of the Village Cottages have a sea view.

Beachfront Cottages

The five Beachfront Cottages (80 square metres) have direct access onto the beach from a spacious veranda, with a picture window in the bedroom showcasing the serene views of the sea and gardens. Facilities include king-size bed only, mosquito nets, minibar, ceiling fan, air conditioning and en suite bathroom with shower.

Sea View Villas

The eight Sea View Villas offer a luxurious 120 square metres of living space over two floors and feature king-size beds only, mosquito nets, a minibar, the choice of a ceiling fan or air conditioning, a handmade marble bathtub and separate shower, a CD player and a spacious dressing area. While they are located behind the Beachfront Villas, they are strategically positioned to ensure a beautiful sea view.

Beachfront Villas

Offering the same facilities and living space as the Sea View Villas, the 11 Beachfront Villas each have direct access onto the beach from a spacious veranda and a full sea view.

The Residence by Sandoway

The Sandoway's sister property is located just five minutes' walk from the main building along the beach. It has a selection of garden and beachfront rooms and is ideal for guests seeking more privacy. The rooms have more of a contemporary feel but still as elegant as those in the main resort. It has its own check-in area but no other facilities to speak of — except the beach of course, for which it has prime location. Guests may make use of the facilities and pool at the nearby Sandoway. Breakfast is served in room but can also be enjoyed at the restaurant on request.

Location

Sandoway Resort is set on Ngapali Beach, one of the most beautiful beaches in Myanmar, if not the Bay of Bengal. The beach itself has a rustic charm and oxcarts are often seen wandering along the sand in the late afternoon. Nearby, the fishing village of Jade Taw retains the traditional fishing practices and an early morning visit to the markets showcase their haul. The only way of reaching Ngapali Beach is by light aircraft transfer, and you are then met at the airport in Thandwe by the hotel's distinctively refurbished buses, used in World War II by American troops.

Food and drink

The on site restaurant serves an international menu, but specialises in freshly caught local seafood. The lounge bar is located on an open veranda, allowing guests to enjoy amazing sunset views whilst sipping cocktails.

Families

All ages are welcome at the hotel, however there are no child facilities.

Honeymooners

Those looking to celebrate in style can be certain of a magical time at this hotel, and the staff can help with an additional special touch — from fresh flowers, couples' massage or a romantic dinner for two.

Facilities and activities

Facilities include a laundry service, dry cleaning, luggage storage and newspapers. There is also an excursion desk where they can book local excursions.

Environmental and social responsibility

Whilst the resort has an Italian manager, all staff are from the local community.
