Yandabo Home

Location:  Yandabo lies on the shore of the Ayeyarwady River approximately midway between Bagan-Mandalay. Accessible by a 2 ½ hour drive from Bagan or Mandalay or by river taking slightly longer.  Yandabo Home, part of the Sandoway hotel group, nestles amongst traditional village houses of Yandabo, whose inhabitants live in harmony with nature and are well known for their great skills in pottery making.

Rooms: 12 rooms

Facilities: Open sided restaurant.

Activities: Explore the area on foot or by bike

Children: Children of all ages are welcome.

Our opinion: This village stay gives a true insight into Myanmar’s peaceful country life and makes for a real experience for those wanting to see more of village life. The rooms are very comfortable, well-lit and spacious despite being in a remote area and the Burmese food extremely tasty despite a simple restaurant. Apart from pottery the villagers live from farming and fishing in the Ayeyarwady River and the area is home for around 4.000 Water buffalos. TV and telephone are not available in the rooms. Internet is not available in the whole hotel.
