The Wild Orchid

these are the beaches that qualify as India’s best-kept secret sands. But not for much longer, with the Andamans slowly but surely emerging into the sunlight. Catch the beaches while they’re still raw with a stay at a clutch of cottages that lie between the sea and the hills of Havelock. Built with wood and decorated with shells, bemboo and Cane, they come complete with a gently swinging hammock on your verandah, From here you’ll find yourself looking at a tropical riot of sights and sounds, from flitting butterflies to bursts of yes, wild orchids. Feast on fresh snapper from the Andaman Sea the Red Snapper restaurant or down a mean margarita to the strains of rock’s roll at the Emerald Gecko Bar.
