Take a stroll to Bamboo Forest. Discover why bamboo is the building material of the future and how we can apply it to sustainable forestry solutions.

Rooms

The rooms are located just a few steps away from the beach. Attention to detail to as little impact made as possible, leaving the island in its natural state, is what makes this place stand out. There is a choice of bungalows, from standard, to suite and superior.

Meet your Host

Meet Bjorn, the co-founder of Boulder Bay Eco Resort. He first went to Thailand in the late 70s and later discovered Myanmar and Boulder Island.

He runs the resort with his trusted friend Mr. Zaw Myo Kyaw.

‘There’s no denying that the world is in peril and Myanmar is a new frontier. We want to influence the government. There are over 800 islands in this archipelago and not many people know about them, but they need to be protected.’

Need to know

Boulder Bay Eco Resort is a minimum footprint resort in one of the most far east Islands of the Archipelago, so don’t expect all the bells and whistles of a luxury resort. The founder describes the eco-resort perfectly, a 3-star hotel in a 7-star location.

The resort is powered 100% by the sun. There is no air conditioning, but there are fans in the rooms. The clean air, natural breeze, and active design of the bungalows will make you forget that air conditioning even existed.

Because of the remoteness of the island the internet connection is unstable and is only available at the community building. This is a chance for a real digital detox.

Location

The resort is situated on the Nga Khin Nyo Ghee Island in the Mergui Archipelgo of Southern Mayanmar. The island is one of the most westerly in the archipelago and as a result, experiences a unique, but pleasant climate, and exceptionally clear blue waters.

How to get there

The first step is to get to Kawthaung, Myanmar or Ranong, Thailand. Once there you’ll need to board a boat, which will sail you comfortably from Kawthaung to Boulder Island.

There are 1-2 flights a day from Yangon to Kawthaung, operated by Myanmar National Airlines (MNA). There are also two airlines that offer up to four flights a day from Bangkok to Ranong.

Please note: Since the pandemic the flight schedules may have changed.
