Barefoot Resort Havelock Island

General Information

The resort includes 18 nicely planned and environmentally sensitive cottages hidden in the tropical foliage. The resort and cottages are spread over 8 acres, thus giving you an uninterrupted feeling of nature and solitude. The barefoot philosophy propagates the use of only natural indigenous materials in the living and entertaining spaces.
Living & comfort
‘Barefoot at havelock’ defines rural luxury. The 10 roomy Nicobari cottages and eight Andaman Villas are constructed mainly out of quick regenerable materials. The walls are made from bamboo or forest, the roofs from thatch, and the floors from local hardwoods. The apartments are 40 sqmt in size with big ensuite
bathrooms fitted with modern facilities. Interiors are easy but idyllic. The acclimatised Andaman Villas additionally have spacious picture windows and a sky lit shower region which makes one feels closer to nature. All cottages and bungalows are raised off the ground in keeping with the low impact footprint. We will be adding 8 luxury Nicobari Villas in December 2008.

Dining & recreation:
Savour the tasty vegetarian and seafood dishes made by our cook at the major resort restaurant. Mainland and Indian food are our forte and you are able to chose from the set carte menu or have dinner a la carte. We also have an option of spirits and a little selection of Indian wines, to enhance your meal. Whatever you eat, you are able to take comfort in the knowledge that our vegetables are organically grown and fertilizer independent. Sea food is fresh from the sea.

Next to the major restaurant is the Lounge. Equipped in the Indian and Oriental fashion, with divans and bolsters, low-level tables and aromatic candles, it's a spot to sit back and unwind, swap stories with other customers. Or alternatively, have a drink, breathe in the sea air and listen to one of the best collections of jazz and hall music to be found anywhere in the Andaman Islands.

Location Information

The Andaman Islands. India's best-kept secret. Incredible beaches, aquamarine coral lagoons, lush green rainforest, active volcanoes, swimming elephants, and giant fish. Experience the unexplored chic of these islands at the Barefoot Group's 1st luxury eco-retreat, 'barefoot at havelock'. Situated exclusively on what TIME Magazine rated as one of the best shore in Asia, the health centre is embedded in tropical rainforest and fruit trees beyond a pristine two kilometers stretch of white sand at the quirkily named Beach No. seven on Havelock Island. Conde Nast Traveler USA edition in September 2007 stated that the coast is one of the 30 finest beaches in the world.
