After breakfast at the hotel, you will be taken to the Cochin airport for a flight to Agatti Island. The ‘Gateway to Lakshadweep’, Agatti is about 459 kilometers from Cochin. The island presents a breathtaking spectacle of coral reefs, turquoise lagoons, pristine beaches fringed with coconut palms and abundant natural beauty. It is ideal for water sports and fishing, with brilliant coral gardens adding to a marine lover’s delight.
Check-in at Bangaram Island Resort and spend the rest of the day at leisure. A jewel of the Lakshadweep, Bangaram Island Resort is pretty close to Agatti, where the airport is situated. An ideal getaway for long strolls, you will have plenty of time at leisure to watch the hermit crabs crawl on the soft sand and even listen to the cacophony of the seabirds. At night, you might even catch sight of phosphorescent plankton washed ashore, emitting a surreal bluish glow in the darkness.
You can select from 30 tiled-roof beach huts, each offering a private verandah opening up to the endless azure sea, en suite bath and refrigerator among others. At the heart of the resort is the restaurant shanty, built of bamboo and palm leaves around a tall central pole. Tuck into local island specialties or sample from a vast international menu. Follow it up with a drink at the well-stocked bar.
Spend the night at the resort.
