The Barefoot at Havelock

An excellent jungle property on the beach. The rooms( tents) were great, the food was top notch. The only reason i gave it a 4 is the tardy checkout experience where the front office staff made us wait for 45 mins for some inane reason. The front office checkout experience is the only weakling of this otherwise great property.

This was my 3rd trip to Havelock island and the best, due to the experience we had at Barefoot. The resort is truly an escape from city life, where the only sounds you can hear in your room are the birds and forest creatures. The accommodation is just as advertised. What I liked was the various activities offered - particularly scuba diving which their associate company organizes and is probably the best name in the Andamans. We did two of their nature walks, which we enjoyed. All the staff we interacted with, were helpful and friendly. The beach next to the property is one of the best in Asia and you feel like its your private beach, since its away from the crowd. Our tented accommodation was very comfortable. Breakfast had a big choice. The quality and menu choice at lunch and dinner was good, accompanied by fine cocktails. I will definitely recommend barefoot !

Fabtastic location, superb ambience.. super tasty food, the beach is just 1 min distance and it is the best in asia. The staff is very nice and friendly. They have a no bar thats just super nice. Kids got complimetory juice. I loved the coconut prawns.

A visit to Havelock is incomplete if you don't stay at Barefoot! This is an amazing experience one can ever think of! The stay is awesome, and the staff behavior is out of the world! They took care of even the most basic requirements. Plan to be here sometime soon...

Barefoot at Havelock was nothing short of magical! Nestled within the heart of a lush forest, it felt like stepping into another world where nature takes center stage. Living amidst towering trees and serene greenery brought a unique calm and beauty to the experience. The real highlight, though, was the pristine beauty of Radha Nagar Beach – untouched, breathtaking, and just a short walk away. This beach was easily one of the most beautiful I’ve seen, with powdery sand and clear turquoise waters. The icing on the cake was the unforgettable bird walk with Ruben. His knowledge and passion for the local birdlife made it a mesmerizing experience. Watching these beautiful birds in their natural habitat was an experience I’ll always cherish. Barefoot at Havelock was a dream, and I’ll definitely be back soon for more!

Our stay at Barefoot was magical. Everything exceeded our expectations from start to finish. Firstly, I would like to thank the staff at Barefoot for making our stay a memorable one. Their dedication to their roles shows through their hard work, attention to the small details (such as remembering our coffee order!) also bringing me food to the room when I was feeling unwell. A special mention to Jack and Suresh - their restaurant service was immaculate. Dev the bartender & his team with their amazing cocktails.Trilochan the chef, he would come and chat to the guests during dinner which was a nice touch. Prathamesh & Rubin the onsite knowledgeable and friendly naturalist guides, with their passion for nature and wildlife. I celebrated my 30th birthday during our stay, my partner and the staff at barefoot organised a surprise dinner on the beach under the stars - a birthday to remember! The rooms are comfortable, rustic and close to nature. The nicest beach on Havelock is a stone throw away from the rooms and you can hear the sound of waves crashing in the early morning. The restaurant food quality is some of the best we had during our time in India (lobster curry is a must!) Highly recommend Barefoot for those looking for a memorable experience on Havelock Island!
