The Wonder Islands
asiaSpa India|November - December 2016

A world of untouched wellness basks in sun-kissed glory on these picturesque islands on the Indian Ocean.

The Wonder Islands

The Andaman & Nicobar Islands

BAREFOOT AT HAVELOCK

Rediscover yourself in the tranquil and luxurious Barefoot at Havelock. Located on Beach No. 7, the back-to-nature retreat offers accommodation in 31 thatched-roof villas, cottages and tents, all constructed using environment-friendly material, making the resort the only eco-friendly property on the island. Check in to the air-conditioned Andaman Villa that has floor-to-ceiling picture windows for panoramic views, a walk-in jungle shower and much more. Inside this haven is Oma Spa, which uses western and eastern holistic techniques and indigenous products to recharge you physically and psychologically. When here, try the variety of relaxing coffee massages and scrubs on offer.

FORTUNE RESORT BAY ISLAND

Overlooking the azure waters of the Bay of Bengal, Fortune Resort Bay Island is the perfect destination for you to unwind. The property, located on Port Blair, is built mostly with native Padouk wood (red-timber wood found only on the island) and was designed by architect Charles Correa. In its 45 state-of-the art rooms, you can get away from the hustle-bustle of city life without really disconnecting from the world. Located next to the sea, the hotel can arrange for you to experience water sports such as snorkelling and scuba diving, and if you’re not feeling that adventurous, you can just take a dip in the infinity pool overlooking the Bay of Bengal. A must-try is the Mandalay cuisine served at the open-deck multi-cuisine restaurant here.
