Havelock island, Andaman & Nicobar Islands, India

The most recent addition to Taj Group’s portfolio of luxury resorts and spas, this suave new hotel on idyllic Havelock Island introduces cutting-edge tropical chic to the jungles of the Andamans & Nicobar islands. Clients who have used Taj properties before will recognize the impeccable service, gourmet seafood and outstanding attention to detail, but the architecture is something totally new. Inspired by the houses of the local indigenous tribe, the 75 spacious stilted villas have thatched roofs and are lined with lustrous hardwoods. Each has its own deck where you can relax and enjoy the exotic sights and sounds of the forest. The gin-clear waters of Radhnagar Beach are literally a stone’s throw away – perfect for snorkelling and swimming. Jungle treks and guided cycle tours are also on offer to guests
