LACCADIVES - Deep in the azure waters of the Indian Ocean, lies the last of the enchanted isles. the Lakshwadeep or Laccadive Islands, are a string of little known islands lying approximately 200 miles off the south-west coast of India.

The jewel in the Lakshwadeep is the Bangaram Island. A tear drop - shaped, uninhabited island off the Cochin coast. No intrusions from the every day world. No television, no telephones or news papers. Just a few solace seekers for company. Thirty couples to be exact. Time will be told by the moon, the stars and the tide.

From the small landing strip, board a canopied boat for a one and half hour cruise across a sea like molten sapphires, over the reef , across a still lagoon. And there is a palm shaded Bangaram. Living in thatched spacious huts with all comforts. Discovering the myriad’s forms of undersea life, snorkeling or even Scuba diving to see the enchanted coral garden.

Swimming in crystal sunwarmed waters, sun-bathing feasting on the a wide seafood - topped cuisine & chore spirits and the people who look after you. It is the ultimate gateway.

With the exception of the resort, Bangaram Island is totally uninhabited. The lagoons around the island are beautiful and clear, offering excellent opportunities for swimming , snorkeling and sun bathing. The island of Bangaram is the only resort developed for stay and water sports and it is possible to cruise around the island for the dedicated anglers, Tuna fishing and deep sea fishing and for Marine life lovers there are glass bottom boats available.

The water are crystal clear and immensely rich in a variety of sea life including corals. The resort consists of thirty huts with walls of bamboo and thatched with palm fronds. It has restaurant, a bar and a lounge.
