The 160-ft pool
Taj Exotica Resort and Spa Havelock Island – the first luxury hotel in India’s Andaman and Nicobar territory – opened February 14th, 2018. All 75 villas, which measure 1,500 sq ft, are identical (see one, above): they are designed in the style of the local Jarawa tribe. Co-owner and designer of this magnificent luxury hotel, Pramod Ranjan, researched, designed and travelled the world to find the ideal materials. The total 50-acre estate also has a glorious pool – and Radhanagar Beach, right next to the resort, is arguably one of the best in the entire Indian Ocean. GM of this luxury hideaway is Abnash Kumar.
