Discover The Andamans and Lakshadweep Islands on a Tailor-Made Tour

Scattered across two very different seas, the Andaman and Nicobar Islands in the Bay of Bengal and Lakshadweep in the Arabian Sea reveal a wonderfully remote side of India. Think tropical beaches, turquoise waters, coral reefs and abundant marine life, with a slower pace that feels far removed from the country’s bustling cities.

Andaman Islands holidays combine beautiful beaches with rainforest, wildlife, history and superb marine experiences. Havelock Island is home to idyllic Radhanagar Beach, while the surrounding reefs offer excellent snorkelling and scuba diving. In Port Blair, the historic Cellular Jail provides a fascinating insight into India’s struggle for independence. A tour to the Andaman and Nicobar Islands can easily combine time on the beach with nature, history and underwater adventures.

Lakshadweep holidays offer a different kind of escape. This remote collection of coral atolls is known for pristine beaches, crystal-clear lagoons and spectacular reefs. Limited tourism has helped preserve the islands’ peaceful character, making Lakshadweep ideal for swimming, snorkelling, diving or simply switching off beside the sea.

Together, these island destinations offer some of the best beaches in India, alongside extraordinary natural beauty and a genuine sense of seclusion.

Stay in Characterful Luxury

Across the Andaman Islands and Lakshadweep, the best stays are those that make the most of their extraordinary island settings. Think beachfront resorts, private villas and secluded island retreats, where tropical gardens lead to white-sand beaches and days can begin with a swim, snorkel or boat trip.

On islands such as Havelock and Neil, boutique and nature-focused properties offer a relaxed alternative to larger resorts, combining comfort with a strong sense of place. In Lakshadweep, accommodation is more limited and wonderfully remote, with simple luxury centred around pristine beaches, coral lagoons and the natural beauty of the islands.

As with all our tailor-made journeys, we select each stay to suit you – considering location, character, comfort and your interests, as well as how the property fits into the pace and flow of your Andaman Islands or Lakshadweep holiday.

 

Best time to visit the Andaman Islands and Lakshadweeps 


The best time for Andaman Islands holidays is generally from October to May, when the weather is drier and the seas are calmer. December to April is particularly good for beaches, snorkelling and scuba diving. The southwest monsoon brings heavier rain and rougher seas from around May to September, which can affect boat trips and water activities.


The best time for Lakshadweep holidays is generally from October to May, with warm temperatures, clearer skies and calmer seas ideal for swimming, diving and snorkelling. The monsoon season, usually from June to September, brings heavier rainfall and rough seas, and can make access to some islands more difficult.

For a journey combining the Andaman and Lakshadweep Islands with mainland India, we’ll plan the route around the seasons, your interests and the best conditions for the experiences you want to include.
