Sea Shell Resort & Spa, Havelock

With sublime silken-blonde beaches, twinkling teal shallows and some of the best diving in South Asia, thickly forested Havelock Island enjoys the well-deserved reputation of being a travellers’ paradise. Indeed, for many, Havelock is the Andamans – it’s what lures most visitors across the Bay of Bengal, many of them content to stay here for the entirety of their trip. Havelock (Swaraj Dweep) island is reached by private or government-operated ferries from Port Blair, the nearest city with airport. The last ferry from Port Blair leaves at 1400 hrs. Ensure your flight lands before 1230 hrs to be able to check-in on the same day.
