The delightful Yandabo Home is an award-winning hotel nestled on the shores of the great Ayeyarwady River, along the route between Bagan and Mandalay. With only 12 rooms, this hotel allows you to soak up the charm of the village of Yandabo, and engage with its delightful inhabitants.

Although there are little signs of its claim to fame Yandabo was the setting of the Yandabo Treaty, signed after the First Anglo-Burmese War in 1826, a pivotal moment in the history of Myanmar.

Sustainable, hospitable, caste in pastel hues – this is a hotel worth leaving the beaten path for. A diamond in the plains of Myanmar’s central dry zone.

FLASH POINT: This hotel offers no wi-fi nor televisions. Phone connection will be patchy. A true ‘cold spot’. Utter bliss.
