Bagan & Inle Lake aerial view

Bagan & Inle Lake, Myanmar

Bagan's plain of more than 2,000 temples and stupas, a UNESCO World Heritage Site beside the Ayeyarwady River, is one of Asia's great sunrise spectacles, best seen from a hot-air balloon or a quiet pagoda terrace. A short flight away, Inle Lake in Shan State unfolds a serene world of leg-rowing fishermen, stilt villages and floating gardens, explored by private longtail boat from lakeside resorts.

The Hotel @ Tharabar Gate

Boutique garden hotel beside the ancient Tharabar Gate, the only hotel within the walls of Old Bagan and a short stroll from Ananda Temple.

Bagan Lodge

Safari-style tented villas in landscaped gardens on the edge of New Bagan, with two pools and a spa minutes from the temple plain.

Sanctum Inle Resort

Monastery-inspired five-star resort on the eastern shore of Inle Lake at Maing Thauk, with cloistered courtyards, a lakefront pool and a Shan-cuisine restaurant.
