Praise
Amid dozens of uninhabited islands covered in jungle and skirted by sandy shores, a three-hour speedboat ride from mainland Myanmar in a maritime nature reserve, Wa Ale Island feels like the elusive Thai island you never quite found, lost in time and sea haze.

Hotels Own Introduction
a secluded island sanctuary
Tucked into a protected cove in Myanmar’s Myeik Archipelago, Wa Ale is an intimate island retreat where nature and luxury exist in harmony. Tented and treetop villas offer sweeping views of the pristine beach and dramatic rock formations, creating an atmosphere of serene escape.
farm to table, sea to plate
Dining at Wa Ale celebrates simplicity and sustainability. Fresh produce from the chef’s garden and daily catches from the surrounding waters come together in nourishing, seasonal dishes. Every meal is rooted in the island’s rhythms and flavors.
thoughtful design, natural beauty
Wa Ale features 11 state-of-the-art luxury tents, each positioned for unobstructed ocean views. Designed with families in mind, the villas accommodate up to four guests with a king-size canopy bed and a convertible sofa for two single beds—perfect for relaxation after a day of exploration.
healing with a view
The island’s Ayurvedic treatments are offered in tranquil spaces overlooking the river and the Andaman Sea. Here, wellness is guided by natural elements, offering a peaceful retreat for body and mind.
a dream with purpose
Founded by Chris and Farina Kingsley, Wa Ale was born from a deep affection for Myanmar and its people. Their vision: to create the first luxury eco-resort in the untouched Myeik Archipelago, a place that welcomes travelers while preserving the natural world that surrounds it.
sustainable by design
Not a single tree was removed in the making of Wa Ale. This is luxury that respects its environment—an eco-conscious escape where nature is not only protected but celebrated.
