Bagan Lodge

Bagan, Myanmar

Bagan Lodge has a boutique feel with its glamping safari-style tents. The lodge is located in a quiet position but close enough to the main archaeological sites of Bagan for sightseeing.

Set in extensive gardens, each of the 85 rooms have private balconies overlooking the grounds. Additional facilities include a large swimming pool, and spa.

Why we like Bagan Lodge

Bagan Lodge is the perfect bolthole to return to after a day exploring the temples and the friendly staff will ensure you feel welcome from the second you arrive. The option to explore the temples by e-bike is also lovely.

Facilities

Two swimming pools, and a pool bar
Excellent spa with an oversized Jacuzzi
Gym
Bike Hire
Golf carts to get about the resort

Activities

Hire an e-bike and explore Bagan at day break and watch traditional dance performances in the evening.
