Unwinding in the Andamans

Sometimes taking a break from the routine is all you need—away from the toxic news and draining work and the stresses of our lives. You begin to relax and recharge as the days go by and as you wind down. There is perhaps no better place in India than the Andamans, particularly the Havelock Island, where a week spent diving, snorkelling, swimming, practising yoga, going for walks, sleeping and waking early will heal your body better than any lotion or potion.Make use of the off-season in May and check into a luxury resort where you can add a dose of pampering and spa treatments for a restorative vacation. The newly opened villa-hotel Jalakara, in the heart of Havelock, just 25 minutes away from the nearest beach, offers daily yoga and a beautiful setting. It is a great option to try out.
