Special Packages - Bangaram Island Resort 
 

Bangaram is the only international resort in Lakshadweep. The island and the resort will be a new experience. Bangaram island is uninhabited and accommodates a maximum of 26 couples so that every guest has atleast two of the island’s 128 acres to themselves. Bangaram presents a breathtaking spectacle of sparkling coral reefs, turquoise blue lagoons, silvery beaches and lush green coconut palms.

At the outset, let us point out the fact that Bangaram is not a luxury resort. In fact, it is far away from that. Everything about the island is natural and simple. It has not been affected at all by the outside world. The resort is made up of 30 simple huts. All rooms are comfortably furnished with cane furniture, twin beds, ceiling fans, stocked fridge and private shower. There is no phone, fax, e-mail, air conditioning, television, newspaper, hot water or room service. Some of the island’s beauty comes from what is absent. What you find is a curious combination – five star service minus the pretention and excess.

The resort offers you a variety of outdoor activities – diving, snorkeling, boating, fishing, kayaking etc. There is also an Ayurveda centre. The cuisine is international and also offers a selection from the coast of Lakshadweep islands. There is also a well stocked bar. Diving and Ayurveda are not available during monsoon (16 May to 30 September)

All visitors to Lakshadweep require an entry permit. For obtaining the same please advise full names, address, date & place of birth.

Lakshadweep(Agatti) is well connected by air from Cochin and Goa. Indian Airlines operates a Dornier aircraft on all days except Sundays from Cochin and on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from Goa. The transfer from Agatti to Bangaram is by boat during fair weather and by helicopter during monsoon.

Bangaram Island Resort.
The Jewel of the Lakshadweep, Bangaram Island is an uninhabited haven. Barring the occasional visitor from nearby Agatti (where the airport is situated), the only residents are the resort staff.
 

Bangaram presents a breathtaking spectacle of sparkling coral reefs, turquoise blue lagoons, silvery beaches and lush green coconut palms. All preserved in the state little different from the days of Charam Perumal's reign. Leaving the visitor with a difficult choice. Activity or inactivity?

The more unhurried can simply laze on the silver beaches, soak in the sun, listen to the sound of the waves and watch the swaying of the palms. The island feels like it was designed specifically for languid strolls, to watch the beach dances of hermit crabs and listen to the raucous music of the seabirds. But should you feel the need for a little more adventure on your holiday, Bangaram island offers a whole new set of activities.

A well-equipped and professionally manned Scuba Diving facility is available at the resort. As a diving location, the virgin reefs of Bangaram have been ranked by experienced divers as being among the best anywhere. Recently an ancient shipwreck was discovered. Besides coral, the reef abounds in undersea life, particularly game fish and turtles. Diving sites are off the reefs and are reached by boat.

Diving courses and lagoon diving are offered for beginners. Diving is permitted only within safe depths around 30 meters. Visitors can avail of a decompression chamber, except from 15 May to 15 September.

Doing a Hemingway
For deep sea big game fishing, Bangaram is an ideal location. Record size Barracuda, Sailfish, Yellowfin, Travelly and Wahoo have often been landed. Local boats are available here for rent with experienced crew. Serious anglers are advised to bring their own equipment.
