Andaman Islands, India

Havelock Island

A thousand kilometres east of the Indian mainland, Havelock — officially Swaraj Dweep — rewards the two-flights-and-a-ferry effort with Radhanagar Beach, a sweep of white sand and forest regularly ranked Asia's best, plus elephant-green jungle and some of the Indian Ocean's cheapest diving.

About this place

Mobile signal is patchy and nightlife means bioluminescence. Take the government ferry from Port Blair or a faster catamaran. Visit December to April, between monsoons, and book huts ahead for January.
