Introduction

Set in the Arabian Sea, 200 kilometres off the coast of Kerala, this cluster of islands has sun kissed beaches of endless silver and picture perfect coconut groves. On the main island is an airport, and 45 minutes by motor-boat away is the resort of Bangaram. Regular flights from Kochi (except Sundays) are the ideal means of getting to the island. With no indigenous inhabitants - just the resort with its staff and guests, the island-resort is located in a lagoon and is a perfect getaway. There are excellent diving sites to discover, with areas for snorkelling and a sandy beach for swimming. The resort also boasts an ayurvedic Centre for rejuvenation therapy and massage. Idle or adventurous, you are well catered for in this exclusive resort. A few days in this remote situation will purge the mind of the rush and hubbub of modern life in the west.
