Enjoy a Holiday At the Bangaram Island Resort
The Island Hideaway of Bangaram island resort is some 200 miles from Kerala to the south west of India in the Arabian Sea, and is an example of the Lakshadweep Islands. Normally it is accessed by a flight from Cochin to Agatti, then onward by boat for a ninety minute ride. Getting onto the boat at Agatti is an experience in itself, as you get onto a raft, and then they tow you out to the boat!! You immediately feel this is a real hideaway holiday, and your tropical island resort is going to be a bit different. Take good recommendation and fly Kingfisher and not Indian Airlines for reliability.
It is the ideal romantic honeymoon getaway, a lush green uninhabited island covered in coconut groves, and formed like a teardrop. It is enclosed by pristine white sand and a huge lagoon, and is part of a coral atoll with another 3 islands, all of which can easily be reached form Bangaram, by outboarding, sailing or rowing, kayaking or windsurfing if you find the necessity to be energetic.
It is perhaps the way the Maldives were before mass tourism arrived, as the coral reefs are ablaze with color and packed with fish because at the present they are relatively unexplored.
If you need a tropical vacation on an island hideaway, or a romantic honeymoon getaway, then Bangaram might be your perfect destination or as part of a package including time in the Kerala part of India.
You need to understand that this island hideaway, while ideal for a romantic honeymoon getaway, or for people who want to play at being castaways, it isn’t at all for people looking for luxury. If you want the trappings of a five star resort, just don’t go.
Bangaram itself contains thirty huts which contains a number of family huts in twin/double cottages. There are no televisions, telephones or air-conditioning, and to complete the island getaway feeling there are no papers so you’ll be fully out of effective contact with the stresses of the modern world. Each shed is tiled, on the beach, and has a palm thatched veranda, ensuite lavatory, ceiling fan and a fridge. The accommodation is simple but comfy, but please note there’s no hot water!!
The epicentre of Bangaram Island resort is the eaterie shed that has been built around a central pole and made from bamboos and palm fronds. The food at the resort for lunch and dinner is a bit Indian, and a bit Continental, and terribly much seafood based. The food is without exception outstanding.
Breakfast includes cereals, eggs, Indian dishes and a lot of fresh fruit.
At night there is a barbecue on the beach, and the opportunity to eat outside overlooking the moon shining on the lagoon Bangaram Island resort is the only place where alcohol is allowed in the Lakshadweep Islands, and the beach bar is the centre of the evening activity. It serves beer and cocktails and will remain open until the guests have had enough!!.
