The Barefoot At Havelock Hotel - Radhanagar beach
Overview
5-star eco-friendly resort with private access to Radhanagar Beach, Havelock Island
Accommodations
The Barefoot At Havelock offers 31 thatch tents, cottages, and villas constructed on stilts using local materials to minimize environmental impact. Each unit has a private bathroom, air conditioning, and a mosquito net, but no television or in-room phone - a deliberate choice to connect guests with the surrounding forest. Room types include the Nicobari Cottage, Andaman Villa, and Tented Cottage, each designed with indigenous architectural styles.
Dining
The on-site Elephant Restaurant uses locally sourced ingredients to prepare cuisines including Indian, Italian, Thai, and seafood. Breakfast is served à la carte with made-to-order options such as eggs, juice, and toast. The resort also offers themed dinner nights, a dedicated bar called the Dugong Bar, and a daily evening lal chai service on the beach.
Activities & Wellness
Guests can join an in-house naturalist-led birdwatching tour that has spotted species like the Stork-billed Kingfisher and Andaman Coucal within the resort's 32 hectares of jungle. Intertidal walks reveal marine life such as sea cucumbers and crabs, while night walks have shown guests up to eight owl species in a single outing. The spa offers holistic treatments, and Barefoot Scuba provides scuba diving, snorkeling, and fishing excursions.
Location
The Barefoot at Havelock Resort sits a 2-minute walk through the forest to a private section of Radhanagar Beach, ranked among Asia's cleanest beaches. The resort is 67 km from Veer Savarkar International Airport and 11 km from the ferry jetty. Nearby attractions include Kalapathar Beach and Elephant Beach, both reachable by scooter or guided trek.
Sustainability
Barefoot at Havelock is the first sustainably designed and operated resort in the Andaman Islands, built on a former banana plantation with over 90 native tree species now restored. The resort uses eco-friendly materials, no concrete pathways, and low lighting to preserve the natural habitat. It runs conservation and community engagement programs, employs local staff, and provides guests with reusable water bottles.
