With a 600-meter long beachfront, the Awei Pila Mergui is sure to fulfill even the ultimate vacationer's wish with their array of food, drinks, sports, recreational activities, excursions, and the other amenities and services offered.
Guests are met at either the Kawthaung Airport (KAW) or the Ranong Airport (UNN). From there, a speedboat transfer departs from the Kawthaung pier taking the guests to the resort. The speedboat transfer takes approximately 2.5 to 3 hours. Private transfers are also available for an additional supplement.
The Mergui Archipelago is considered one of the world's best-kept secrets, with its doors only being opened to the public in 1997. The clear waters allow divers an excellent view of the diverse marine life below. Sharks and rays can also be seen in the well-known dive sites such as Burma Banks. However, the main attraction is the incredible variety of smaller fish and invertebrates which are not found in other waters.

The furniture and other decorative items are locally produced and complete a pleasant environment.
At Awei Pila, the outdoor beachfront restaurant serves lunch, dinner, as well as cocktails and fresh coconut concoctions. Located just a few steps away from crystal clear water and pristine shoreline, guests are sure to enjoy the delicious cuisine and gourmet menu provided by the chef and made of ingredients grown on the island.
Considered one of the world's best-kept secrets, the Mergui Archipelago lies off the far coast of Myanmar and is comprised of hundreds of islands surrounded by coral reefs and beaches.
The Mergui Archipelago contains an incredible diversity of species, with whale sharks and manta rays that frequent its waters, especially during the months of February and May. Orcas and infamous bull sharks have also been spotted along the archipelago. Oceanic whitetip sharks, nurse sharks, squirrelfish and snapper are also common sightings.
The Mergui Archipelago offers divers amazing dive sites such as Black Rock, where the steep walls make for exciting drift dives; and High Rock, known for the high density of fish that live in its reefs.
The islands have remained relatively isolated, and therefore provide an ideal scuba diving location for numerous species. Furthermore, much of the archipelago still remains to be explored.
The Awei Pila dive center is fully equipped to ensure guests enjoy some of Southeast Asia's best diving. Their dive team will take guests to some of the best dive sites in the area such as Shark Cave and Rocky Island. Diving lessons are also provided by the resort for an additional charge.
