Barefoot at Havelock, Andamans

...is an eco-friendly resort in Havelock Islands in Andamans tucked away behind the tropical tree fence on Radhanagar beach.
barefoot1
Having read some great reviews online we decided on this place for our summer holidays and it surely was worth it.

Pristine, unspoilt beach with aqua waters and surrounded by lush tropical foliage it is a treat for city dwellers.

All the structures at the resort are constructed using locally sourced natural materials. The reception area...

A vibrant arrangement of tropical flowers floating at the reception area gives us a small peek into the amazing things to be experienced during our stay...

The Nicobari-styled dining area completely engulfed by lush foliage...

Exotic tropical flowers...

We enjoyed the airy dining area with a great view....

Eco-friendly-ness is evident in every aspect of the hospitality experience, the place-mats are made of handmade paper and dried flora.

The low dining arrangement was out favourite during our evening chai sessions, listening to the sound of waves on a high-tide, the changing shades of sky and excitedly watching fireflies at dusk...

The sandy path scattered with dries leaves of various shapes and colours lead you to the various cottages...
barefoot9
What a practical way to keep the sand off your cottage, just wash your feet and enter 'bare feet' into your room...

Sit outside and enjoy the sounds of the tropics, the intoxicating symphony played by the crickets, chirping birds and croaking frogs.
barefoot10
Our place on the deck for many cups of tea...
halla
...and hours of reading.
room
The interiors of our cottage, antique four poster bed with mosquito nets, which the housekeeping staff would spread out in the evenings...

What a memorable experience of being surrounded by nature's best elements....

Will be doing a post on our travel experience soon on Rang~ The Colours of Life.

    Lovely pictures!!! Andamans has always been on mind and in fact we canceled our trip in Dec 1994 and glad we did it - that's when Tsunmai hit it.
