What’s New at Wa Ale in 2024?
At Wa Ale, we continuously strive to enhance the guest experience by offering new, immersive activities that highlight the unique environment and culture of our location. This season, we are excited to offer a range of new adventures that will deepen your connection to the island and the surrounding communities.
Private Picnic Outings to Nearby Islands
For those seeking a truly private escape, we now offer exclusive picnic outings to nearby islands. These secluded islands, with their pristine beaches and crystal-clear waters, provide the perfect setting for a romantic day trip or a family adventure. Imagine enjoying a hand-crafted picnic, surrounded by unspoiled nature and the sound of gentle waves lapping the shore—a true island paradise.
Watching Local Clam Diving
One of the most unique cultural experiences you can enjoy at Wa Ale is the opportunity to witness local clam diving. This once ancient practice, passed down through generations and now fused with modern techniques, offers a glimpse into the local fishing traditions that sustain communities throughout the Myeik Archipelago. As you watch the divers skillfully gather clams from the sea, you’ll gain a deeper appreciation for the sustainable practices that have allowed these communities to thrive for centuries.
Authentic Visits to Burmese Fishing Villages
This year, we are thrilled to offer more opportunities to visit the nearby Karen Burmese fishing villages, where life has remained largely unchanged for generations. These authentic experiences allow guests to engage with local families, witness traditional ways of life, and learn about the fishing techniques that are the backbone of the local economy. These visits are a rare chance to experience a culture that is often hidden from the modern world, offering an unforgettable connection to the people who call this region home.
Paddle Board and Kayak Trips Through Ancient Mangrove Forests
For nature lovers, there’s nothing quite like exploring Wa Ale’s four majestic rivers by paddleboard or kayak. These rivers wind through mangrove forests that are over 100 years old, home to an incredible array of wildlife, including vibrant bird species and curious marine life. As you navigate these serene waterways, you’ll feel a deep sense of peace and connection to the untouched beauty of Wa Ale’s natural surroundings.
Explore and delight in Burmese cuisine
No stay at Wa Ale would be complete without indulging in our world-class culinary offerings. This year, our Burmese Head Chef Aye Chan Oo, has crafted a menu that highlights the bold, authentic flavors of Burmese cuisine alongside expertly prepared Western dishes. Whether you’re in the mood for fresh seafood, locally sourced vegetables, or traditional Burmese curries, our chefs have designed a menu that celebrates the best of both worlds.
