Havelock Island – Asia’s premier island escape, home to world-class beaches, scuba diving, kayaking, and eco-friendly resorts. A must-visit for beach lovers and adventure seekers in the Andamans.
Located roughly 70 km northeast of Port Blair, Havelock Island, officially renamed Swaraj Dweep in 2018, is the largest tourist‑friendly island in the Andamans. Renowned for its pristine powder-white beaches, turquoise sea, and vibrant coral reefs, it is Asia’s ultimate beach destination.
Havelock is famous for its iconic beaches—Radhanagar (Beach No. 7), consistently named among Asia’s Best, Elephant Beach with its marine-rich snorkeling sites, and the photogenic Kalapathar Beach with rocky coastlines. The island offers a seamless blend of adventure, romantic getaways, and family relaxation, with modern amenities that respect the island’s serene pace.
