This 20-room rural complex on the edge of town is reason enough to stop in Taungoo. The Beauty has a pick-and-mix of rustic, all-wood, bungalow-style rooms. Staff are super, and have good recommendations for activities and outings (ask about visiting nearby villages). Another highlight is the wildly local breakfast, with an enormous spread of samosas, sticky rice and exotic fruits.
The best rooms are upstairs and open onto a breezy balcony overlooking the fields; cheaper rooms are on the lower level and have garden views. It’s about 1.5 miles south of the turn-off from the old Yangon–Mandalay Hwy into the centre of Taungoo and is a K2000 trishaw ride from the centre.
