Tilar Siro Andamans, CGH Earth

Head to the furthest reaches of India and the exotic Andaman & Nicobar Islands. No less then 1400 km from the mainland, the mystical Andaman & Nicobar Islands lie in the heart of the Andaman Sea. An archipelago of over 572 islands, this is a diver’s paradise and a world apart from the colourful chaos of big city living.

Exotic marine life, mangrove forest and crystal-clear waters entice the adventurer within us all. Set on Havelock Island amongst the lush ancient forest, and cerulean seas, the latest hotel from the eco-friendly CGH Earth hotels Tilar Siro, Andamans is located on the eastern side of the island on the pristine white sands of Vijaynagar Beach.

Taking their name from the original name of the island, Thilarsiro first called by the Great Andamanese tribe – the land that emerges from the sea.  Set over two and a half acres, the 25- room property is tucked within the folds of the forested surroundings, where the double storeys units of four rooms each with thatched roofs and private sits outs, all overlook the pool or glance out to the turquoise waters beyond the palm leaves.  The slate grey interiors along with the latest mod cons are replete with floor to ceiling glass windows.  The Sea facing private villa is replete with its own pool.

Sustainability is always at the heart of this hotel brand, refillable water bottles, wooden amenities and microbiome toiletries.  Explore the natural bounty of the area with the affiliated dive centre for world class scuba diving, snorkelling and fishing.  For the land lovers there is trekking, bird watching and daily yoga on the outdoor yoga shala.

The dining space opens out under a canopy of mango trees and offers a delectable mix of Indian and continental dishes with a focus on daily caught seafood.  Whilst the bar tender is at hand to create enticing tropical concoctions to truly embrace that holiday vibe.

In order to reach Havelock Island, the nearest airport is located in the historic capital of Port Blair.  You can then take the daily ferries to Havelock.  Flights from mainline India connect daily from Chennai, Mumbai and Kolkata.
