Barefoot at Havelock

Thatched Villas surrounded by forests and beach

Nestled away in the spectacular Andaman Islands

An ecologically friendly collection of thatch tents and cottages hidden in tropical forest by a white sand beach

If you want to experience the remote Andaman Islands in the Bay of Bengal – and why wouldn’t you – the best accommodation option is probably Barefoot. It’s certainly the most ecologically friendly option, consisting of thatch tents and cottages spread out in a tropical forest, by the white sands of the famous “Beach No. 7”. The cottages and tents are spacious and tastefully designed with modern amenities and attached bathrooms.

Diving and snorkelling in the crystal-clear turquoise ocean gets you up close and personal with coral reef fish and turtles, and sometimes even a dugong. Perhaps the star attraction is swimming with elephants. Barefoot Scuba is the first and only PADI 5 Star Instructor Development Resort in the Andaman Islands, and kayaking is also available.

If you don’t fancy getting wet, enjoy walks in the forest or along the beach with elephants, or treat yourself in the holistic spa.

Our Difference

The Far & Wild Community...

We think that the best people to talk about an experience are those directly linked to it. Our website and brochures let the ‘real experts’ show their stuff… local experts, travellers & industry insiders. Look out for the coloured markers all around the site... they mean that you are reading something contributed directly by a person from one of these different parts of the community we are part of.

The best memories aren’t simply places and hotels, they are made up of experiences and people… so we connect with local communities, and strive for sustainable travel to make your holiday special
