Macleod Island, Myanmar
Situated in Mergui Archipelago Myanmar, Macleod is home to Andanam Resort which is surrounded by splendid tropical forest and a wide slide of untouched beaches.
Since the country of Myanmar has just opened its door to the world since 2012, the island is still not popular amongst the tourist points in Myanmar. For this reason, Macleod entices travelers in a very mysterious way.
The island treasures private beach with incredible sun from April to Oct while active adventurers can journey by boat or kayak to some 800 other islands in the area for a week or more. There are no shops or restaurant choices but the island itself is a good base for all other activities.
