Located 80 km from the shoreline of Kawthaung, on the northernmost beach of Pila Island. This secluded beach is surrounded by virgin forest with views out to the open Andaman Sea.

4. THE MERGUI ARCHIPELAGO
The Mergui Archipelago lies off the far south coast of Myanmar. It's comprised of hundreds of islands that
have coral reefs and beaches. The Mergui is home to the seafaring indigenous Moken people. It's a haven
for birds, notably the plain-pouched hornbill, as well as marine life like dugongs and turtles.
UNESCO World Heritage Site designation
“While the biodiversity is largely unknown, the intact vegetation on such an array of islands, with associated
marine habitats and spectacular geomorphology, is likely to be of high global biodiversity significance. The
biodiversity values of this set of forested continental islands, and the limited protection afforded such
coastal islands elsewhere in the region, indicates that they are likely to be of global priority and form a
potentially important trans-boundary World Heritage inscription.”
THEPLACE

5. PILA ISLAND
The Nomadic Moken Seafarers
The Austronesian people of the Mergui
Archipelago, live a semi-nomadic hunter-gatherer
lifestyle heavily based on the sea. Their knowledge
of the sea enables them to live off its fauna and
flora by using simple tools such as nets and spears
to forage for food. What is not consumed is dried
on top of their boats, then used to barter for other
necessities at local markets. During the monsoon
season, they relocate to dry-land into temporary
huts and use this time to build additional boats.
Normally they live in small hand-crafted wooden
boats which serve not just as transportation, but
also as the kitchen, bedroom, and living area.
Aside from ancestor worship, the Moken have no
religion.
THEPLACE
The Legend of Pila Island
A great mythological flood broke the islands into
800 mostly uninhabited, limestone and granite
islands. Pila Island is one of the islands created
from this legend. Pila is southwest of Great
Swinton Islands and Pulo Pankyup and west of
Rocky Islet. Kyun Pila has an elevation of 29
meters. Destinations nearby to Kyun Pila include
Rocky Islet and Pulo Set.

6. A 26-ROOM ECO-CHIC LUXURY
BEACHFRONT RESORT
Located 80 km from the shoreline of Kawthaung, on the northernmost beach of Pila Island, this secluded beach
is surrounded by virgin forest with views out to the open Andaman Sea. The natural bay embraces a 600 metre
long beach front, which is divided into two zones by a large rock formation, granting a select number of units
further privacy. Beyond the beach is a highly forested area with a variety of trees which provides the guest
suites with protection from the natural environment. The adjacent hill side around the bay is accessible by
trails, opening up to guest opportunities for exploration of the island’s unique flora and fauna. Access is also
provided to the fisherman’s bay which will give guests a taste of the local seafaring culture and other water
sports activities.
OUR POSITIONING
Plays a key role in promoting the destination responsibly and sustainably. 10°35’26.6"N 98°01’03.0”E
THEPRODUCT

7. THE DESIGN
The guest areas are centred on the reception, restaurant, and swimming-pool, with rooms extending along
the beach front.
Two types of guest rooms are provided to give guests a choice of experience of either the sea or adjacent
forest.
THEPRODUCT

8. THE ROOMS & SUITES
The suites are designed around a light weight insulated timber and fabric structure. The prefabricated
fabric structures allow for low environmental impact, with minimal foundations maintaining the existing
vegetation. The architecture reinforces the feeling of a base camp for exploration and adventure, mixed
with local touches of Myanmar traditional construction techniques.
Rooms:
Timber and Fabric Sleeping Quarters (Yurt): 32 m2
Outdoor Decking: 14 m2
Bathroom and outdoor shower: 13 m2
Total: 59 m2
The interiors of the sleeping quarters are light and fresh, using white washed timber lattice and duck
cotton fabric walls. The intention is to provide a soft and pleasant internal environment which sits in
contrast to the raw natural environment around. Natural light is allowed in through two large floor to
ceiling openings, also giving way to sea views for the beach front suites. Locally produced furniture and
decorative items provide further character to the room.
THEPRODUCT

9. RECEPTION, RESTAURANT, BAR
& SWIMMING POOL
Inspired by the circular geometry of the guest suite, the reception / restaurant structure sits in contrast to the
rooms.
This open air heavy timber structure provides shelter to the social hub of the resort. The bar sits in the center
with the other two functions flanking either side, all with open view onto the sea and overlooking the
swimming pool.
The floor surface blends continuously through to the pool and beyond to the beach.
