Barefoot at Havelock

Get away from it all at this hideaway resort on the “best beach in Asia” in the unexplored Andaman Islands The Andaman Islands are India’s secret paradise: stunning beaches, pristine coral reefs, Tolkienesque forests, active volcanoes, swimming elephants, elusive dugongs and big, big fish all in one place. And this pared-down eco-hideaway, tucked behind 2km of untrodden white sands and 100-foot high mahua trees, is the place to see them. Its 18 beautifully designed cottages are hidden among 7 acres of grounds, their hardwood walls and conical thatch roofs blending into the tropical foliage. You get basic comforts (modern plumbing, air-con or ceiling fans) and an exhilarating closeness to nature. The barefoot philosophy means a minimal footprint, so only indigenous materials are used, rainwater is harvested, most staff are local. Venture out to kayak through mangrove creeks, snorkel or dive the reefs, camp on a deserted island; stay in and there's yoga, birdwatching, hammocks - and a blissful beach. Barefoot at Havelock is perfect if you are looking for an unpretentious hideaway in one of the world’s last undeveloped tropical islands. read more and book at i-escape 2 / 5 Description by commercial partner i-escape Have you been here?
