Sands of Time: Memories from Mermaid Beach Resort in Cox's Bazar

Cox’s Bazar, home to the world’s longest sea beach, beckons travelers with its pristine shores and tranquil atmosphere. As self-proclaimed wanderers with a penchant for adventure, my wife and I, collectively known as the Gypsy Soul, embarked on a journey to experience the renowned Mermaid Beach Resort for the very first time.

Our expedition began with a slight hiccup as we found ourselves delayed on board our flight. Amidst the hustle and bustle of the airport terminal, a kind crew member whisked us away in a car, ensuring we made it to our designated terminal in the nick of time. Despite our clumsy start, we boarded the plane with anticipation, eagerly awaiting our arrival in Cox’s Bazar.

However, as we approached our destination, a sense of unease crept over me as the pilots circled the sky, seemingly unable to land. Fear gnawed at my senses, but as the wheels finally touched down safely in Cox’s Bazar, I realized my apprehension had been unwarranted. Our journey had only just begun, and the best was yet to come.

Upon touching down in Cox's Bazar, our adventure truly began, tracing the scenic Marine Drive that wove its way to the doorstep of the Mermaid Beach Resort. Welcomed with refreshing coconut water, our senses were instantly heightened, signaling the start of an unforgettable sojourn. With formalities swiftly completed, we were ushered to our accommodations, eager to immerse ourselves in the serenity that awaited.

The resort's private beach beckoned, a haven of tranquility where we whiled away hours amidst the soothing embrace of the sea. From the moment our feet sank into the soft, powdery sands, we knew we had discovered a slice of paradise. Surrounded by the rhythmic melody of crashing waves and the salty breeze that caressed our skin, time seemed to stand still as we immersed ourselves in the beauty of our surroundings.


With the expanse of the sea stretching out before us, we reveled in the freedom to wander along the shoreline, our footsteps leaving imprints in the sand as fleeting as the moments we cherished. Away from the hustle and bustle of daily life, we found solace in the simplicity of nature, each wave a gentle reminder of the ebb and flow of life itself.

It was rainy weather most  of the time during our stay at the resort. Amidst the rain that enveloped our surroundings, we surrendered to the allure of the ocean, stepping into its embrace despite the weather. The cool waters mingled with the raindrops, creating a symphony of soothing sounds as we waded into the refreshing depths. Despite the inclement weather, there was a sense of tranquility that washed over us, cleansing our souls of worries and leaving us feeling revitalized and alive amidst the rainy embrace of Mermaid Beach Resort.

Dining at the resort was an experience in itself, with every meal a culinary delight. Indulging in the freshest seafood, we savored each bite as we soaked in the breathtaking views of the sea. A highlight of our stay was a romantic candlelit dinner under the open sky, serenaded by the soothing sounds of the waves crashing against the shore — a moment etched forever in our memories. Also, the complimentary breakfasts proved to be a feast for our taste buds.


Throughout our stay, the hospitality of the Mermaid Beach Resort surpassed all expectations, leaving an indelible mark on our hearts. As we ventured beyond the confines of the resort, exploring nearby attractions such as Inani Beach, we discovered the boundless beauty that Cox's Bazar had to offer. With each passing moment, we found ourselves ensnared by the charm of this coastal paradise.

After checking out of the resort, with a spring in our step and hearts full of anticipation, we made our way to the adjacent market at Kolatoli beach — a bustling hub of activity and commerce. Here, amidst the vibrant stalls and colorful displays, we embarked on a shopping spree, procuring treasures for our family and us as well.

At that time, no bus was available except London Express. We travelled to Chittagong by it. From there, we hopped on Desh Travels and finally reached Dhaka. It was an experience, going from one counter to another, in search of a decent ride.

Arriving back in Dhaka, we were greeted by familiar sights and sounds, yet our hearts were filled with the lingering echoes of our time at the Mermaid Beach Resort. For us, the resort had been more than just a place to rest our heads — it had been a sanctuary of serenity, a haven of hospitality, and a catalyst for unforgettable experiences.

As we unpacked our bags and settled back into the rhythm of daily life, we carried with us the memories of our journey — a tapestry woven with moments of laughter, adventure, and discovery. For the Mermaid Beach Resort had not only captured our hearts — it had become a cherished chapter in the story of our lives, forever etched in our memories and woven into the fabric of our soul.
