Havelock Island, officially known as Swaraj Dweep, has solidified its reputation as the “Eco-Luxury Capital” of the archipelago. It is an island that perfectly balances high-end indulgence with raw, protected biodiversity. Whether you are arriving for the world-famous sunsets of Radhanagar or to dive into the most vibrant coral reefs in India, Havelock offers a seamless blend of tropical adventure and refined comfort.
The transition from Port Blair (Sri Vijaya Puram) to Havelock has seen a major upgrade in comfort. High-speed catamarans like the Nautika now offer a “Royal Class” experience—a secluded upper deck with plush leather recliners and personalized service—ensuring the 90-minute journey across the Andaman Sea is as luxurious as the resorts awaiting you.
Taj Exotica Resort & Spa: Set across 46 acres of the pristine Radhanagar Beach, this is the island’s crown jewel. Built using sustainable timber and powered by solar energy, it offers stilted villas that provide a “treehouse” luxury experience without felling a single tree.
Barefoot at Havelock: Tucked away in a rainforest of indigenous Mahua trees, this resort is for those who seek “unplugged” luxury. It provides an authentic connection to nature just steps away from the turquoise waters.
Tilar Siro (CGH Earth): A boutique masterpiece that focuses on the “Blue Mind” philosophy, offering a minimalist, serene environment that emphasizes the healing power of the ocean.
SeaShell & Symphony Palms: These remain the go-to elite boutique choices, featuring private beach access, infinity pools, and some of the best sundowner lounges on the island.
Radhanagar Beach (Beach No. 7): Consistently ranked among the best in the world, its crescent of white sand and ancient Mahua trees provide a dramatic backdrop for the most famous sunsets in Asia.
Elephant Beach: A hub for aquatic adventure. You can reach it via a short forest trek or a speed boat. It is the premier spot for snorkeling, sea walking, and the newly popular Dolphin Glass Bottom Boat rides for those who prefer to stay dry while seeing the reef.
Kalapathar Beach: Famous for its striking contrast of black boulders against silvery sand. It’s the best spot on the island for a quiet sunrise and a long, meditative walk.
Neil’s Cove: A hidden gem at the end of Radhanagar, this tranquil lagoon is a photographer’s dream, offering crystal-clear shallow waters surrounded by lush greenery.
Night Kayaking: One of the most magical experiences on the island. Paddle through the mangroves at night to witness the water glow with bioluminescence—it feels like gliding through a sea of liquid stars.
PADI Elite Diving: Havelock is home to India’s most sophisticated dive centers. Whether you are a beginner at Nemo Beach or an advanced diver heading to Dixon’s Pinnacle, the visibility and marine life are world-class.
Stargazing: With its zero-pollution skies, Havelock has become a top destination for Astro-tourism. Many resorts now offer evening sessions with Newtonian telescopes to explore the constellations of the southern sky.
Havelock Island is the ultimate tropical masterclass. From the "Business Class of the Sea" transfers and the sustainable luxury of the Taj Exotica to the glowing bioluminescent mangroves and the sunset over Radhanagar, our travel plans are designed to show you the absolute pinnacle of the Andaman experience.
