Barefoot at Havelock  

Perched on Swaraj Dweep (Havelock Island), this family-friendly beach hotel sits a quick drive from Radhanagar Beach and Elephanta Beach — ideal for sand-and-sea days and sunset chases.

The property keeps things relaxed and beachy with 31 air-conditioned rooms featuring minibars, in-room safes, coffee/tea makers and daily housekeeping. Private bathrooms come with showers, complimentary toiletries and hair dryers. Expect a laid-back island vibe with a spa, library and a kids' playroom on site.

Pamper with massages at the spa, take a dip in the swimming pool, or kill time in the arcade/game room and gift shop. There’s a tour desk and area shuttle (surcharge) to get you to local spots. Free on-site self parking and elevator access make stays easy — wake up to sea-breeze mornings and sandy plans.

Conference room and Wi‑Fi access are available, plus 24-hour front desk service, laundry/dry cleaning, luggage storage and concierge support. Roundtrip airport shuttle can be arranged for a surcharge.

On-site restaurant The Swimming Elephant serves guests, alongside a snack bar/deli, bar/lounge and café. Expect local flavors and island-style dishes — and a good coffee to kick off early exploration.
