Barefoot at Havelock, Beach
no.7, Andaman Islands, INDIA |
|
 |
The Andaman Islands. India's best-kept secret. Stunning
beaches, aquamarine coral lagoons, lush green
rainforest, active volcanoes, swimming elephants, and giant fish.
Experience the unexplored beauty of these islands at the Barefoot Group's
first luxury eco-retreat,
Barefoot at Havelock. is located
exclusively on the best beach in Asia, the resort is set in tropical
rainforest and fruit trees behind a pristine 2 km stretch of white sand at
the quirkily named Beach No. 7 on Havelock Island.
The resort consists of 18 beautifully designed 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 privacy. The barefoot philosophy propagates the use of only
natural indigenous materials in the living and recreational spaces.
 Barefoot
at Havelock defines rustic luxury. The ten spacious Nicobari cottages and
eight Andaman Villas are constructed mainly out of fast regenerable
materials. The walls are made from bamboo or wood, the roofs from thatch,
and the floors from local hardwoods. The rooms are 40 sq. m in size with
large ensuite bathrooms fitted with modern amenities. Interiors are simple
but beautiful. The air-conditioned Andaman Villas additionally have large
windows and a skylight shower area with a touch of jungle. All cottages
and villas are raised off the ground in keeping with the low impact
footprint. |

The resort harvests its own rainwater and draws judiciously
from a natural spring that emerges on the
premises. Kitchen and shower wastewater is filtered in a natural and
simple way so that it can be used to
water the grounds or recycled for other applications.
Savour the delicious vegetarian and seafood dishes created by our chef at
the main resort restaurant.
Continental and Indian food are our forte and you can chose from the set
menu or dine a la carte. We also
have a choice of spirits and a small selection of Indian wines, to enhance
your meal. Whatever you eat, you can take comfort in the knowledge that
our vegetables are organically grown and fertilizer free, sea food is
fresh from the sea and the chicken (and eggs) are “free range.” |

Dining & Leisure
Next to the main restaurant is the Lounge. Furnished in the Indian and
Oriental style, with divans and bolsters, low-level tables and aromatic
candles, it is a place to sit back and relax, swap stories with other
guests or catch up on the 15-day old news (yes, it can take that long…).
Or alternatively, have a drink,breathe in the sea air and listen to one of
the finest collections of jazz and lounge music to be found
anywhere in the Andaman Islands.
The Andaman Islands are considered the final undiscovered frontier for
scuba diving and the waters around Havelock Island are pristine and
unexplored. The diving is exciting - easy dives filled with colourful reef
fish, sea turtles, the occasional dugong and plenty of coral. |

Barefoot scuba diving
Barefoot Scuba, our own full-service dive centre, is located at Beach No.
3 and offers PADI dive courses
and recreational dive trips in and around Havelock. Dive trips further
afield can be organized with a little
advance planning. Barefoot Diving has acquired brand new Mares dive
equipment and uses state-of-art
Bauer compressors. The dive centre is operated by European dive
instructors.
 There
is no shortage of activities to while away your time with us…For most the
highlight is meeting Rajan, our male tusker elephant whom we rescued from
a life of hard labour. He is one of the amazing ocean-swimming elephants
of the Andaman Islands and lives at our resort. Join Rajan for a swim in
the waters at Beach No. 7 or catch him early in the morning and help him
get his breakfast.
For a more spiritual alternative, we run
yoga courses between January and April every year. Practice is held at the
resort in a hilltop pavilion overlooking the cottages and cove.
Or borrow kayak or snorkeling equipment
from our dive centre and explore the lovely mangrove creeks or shallow
reefs close to the resort. Night and day fishing is also available and for
the land-lovers amongst you, we can organize jungle treks and bird
watching trips. swimming elephants & other recreation
