Barefoot at Havelock

Nestled along the pristine shores of Radhanagar Beach, Barefoot at Havelock redefines island hospitality with an uncompromising commitment to sustainability and luxury. Located on Havelock Island in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, our resort is more than just a place to stay — it is an invitation to disconnect from the noise of daily life and reconnect with nature. Inspired by the raw, unexploited beauty of the Andamans, every element of the resort, from the indigenous architectural design to the locally curated cuisine, reflects a deep respect for the environment and the rich culture of the islands.

As the first sustainably designed and operated resort in the Andaman Islands, we have been recognized for our leadership in responsible tourism. The Indian Responsible Tourism Awards 2025 named us a Gold Winner for Sustainable Leadership, a testament to our ongoing efforts to protect the fragile ecosystem while offering world-class hospitality. Surrounded by endemic greenery and the sparkling turquoise waters of the Bay of Bengal, Barefoot at Havelock provides a sanctuary where every guest can experience the uncharted wilderness and serene comfort in equal measure.

Dining at Barefoot at Havelock is an experience in itself. Our restaurants and bar are thoughtfully themed to celebrate the unique wildlife and culture of the Andaman Islands. Guests can savor dishes inspired by local cuisine, prepared with fresh, locally sourced produce.

The Swimming Elephant, our signature restaurant, is designed as a tribute to Rajan, the last swimming elephant of the Andamans.

For a more casual setting, the Dugong Dugon Bar pays homage to the endangered dugong, serving refreshing cocktails and beverages.
