Andaman Islands: Castaway Elegance in the Bay of Bengal

Arrive in Chennai, the cultural and economic capital of Tamil Nadu, where you will be greeted and escorted to your comfortable hotel located conveniently near the airport.

Relax after your flight, soak in the city’s warm hospitality, or enjoy a quiet evening meal. If time permits, go on a short orientation drive or enjoy a traditional South Indian dinner nearby.

Accommodation: Radisson GRT Hotel & Suites – Contemporary comfort with easy airport access.

From Chennai, fly to Port Blair (around 2 ½ hours) and continue by ferry to the tropical haven of Havelock Island, where dense rainforests meet dazzling white shores.

For five blissful days, let nature take the lead. Swim in azure waters, snorkel over technicolour coral gardens, paddle through tangled mangroves, or simply relax beneath palm-shaded skies.

With no fixed agenda, let the pulse of the island set your pace, whether you seek underwater adventure, digital detox, or romantic seclusion.

Accommodation: Barefoot at Havelock – A serene eco-retreat tucked between rainforest and sea, ideal for nature lovers and solitude seekers.

After a leisurely breakfast, board the return ferry to Port Blair. In the afternoon, visit the Cellular Jail, the infamous colonial-era prison where many Indian independence activists were imprisoned. Walk through its corridors and the museum to gain insights into the island’s sombre historical past.

Afterwards, take a stroll along the Marina Park waterfront or explore the Aberdeen Bazaar, known for its handcrafted shell and bamboo souvenirs. Port Blair offers a glimpse of island life that balances history with vibrant culture.

Accommodation: ITC Welcome Hotel, Port Blair – A comfortable base with historical charm and sea views.

Bid farewell to the islands and board your flight back to Chennai. Upon arrival, you’ll be transferred to your hotel near the airport. The day is yours to relax and refresh before your departure the next day, why not enjoy a final South Indian meal to reflect on your island journey?

Accommodation: Radisson GRT Hotel & Suites – Perfect for a restful overnight stay before departure.

In good time, you’ll be transferred to Chennai International Airport for your onward flight, carrying with you the echoes of waves on white sands and the whisper of palms.
