Who should go?
Sprawling over 24 acres of landscaped gardens, Bagan Thiripyitsaya Sanctuary Resort is a tranquil haven yet just a few minutes away from the area’s main sites. With resort style facilities and the town’s biggest swimming pool, the Thiripyitsaya is ideal for luxury travelers who wish to enjoy the splendid temples of Bagan while staying in style and comfort. While all rooms feature modern amenities and private verandhas, discerning travelers should book the River Front and River View Suites as they are the most spacious and with the best views.
When to go?
Bagan is one of Myanmar’s driest areas and has a steady climate throughout the year. Day time temperatures peak during the summer months- April to September- when the thermometer reaches 32 degrees (Celcius). During the rest of the year, the temperatures hover around 28 degrees during the daytime.
Where is it?
Bagan Thiripyitsaya Sanctuary Resort is located just inside the walled city of Old Bagan and is on the banks of the Irrawaddy River. Bagan’s nearest airport is in the village of Nyaung Oo, a 15 minute drive away.
What's not to be missed?
Spa or massage at the outdoor Thiripyitsaya Spa. Private candlelit dinner in the Pagoda Garden. Sipping a cocktail at the Sunset Terrace as the day comes to a close. Refreshing swim in the hotel pool.
What's cooking?
Bagan Thiripyitsaya Sanctuary Resort offers fabulous dining options in a variety of stunning locations. The popular Verandah Grill & Bar specializes in European and Asian cuisines and it’s multi-course set lunch features fresh cuisine at a great value. For cocktails or light snacks the Thiripyitsaya offers the Pavillion Lounge and Sunset Terrace.
Each of these venues affords stunning views of the Irrawaddy River and serves an extensive list of wines, cocktails and spirits. The ultimate dining experience in Bagan, however, is Pagoda Garden where guests dine on delectable cuisine in the grounds of a private temple- a truly enchanting evening!
