Hotels in Havelock Island (Swaraj Dweep), India
Havelock Island, part of India's Andaman archipelago, boasts year-round tropical heat (77-86°F or 25-30°C) and is famous for its powdery white sand beaches like Radhanagar Beach. You can snorkel or scuba dive in the crystal-clear Andaman Sea during the dry winter months (November to April), while the wetter monsoon season (May to October) is better for hiking through lush rainforests to spot elephants at the Elephant Beach jetty. For the best visibility underwater, visit between January and March; for empty beaches and lower hotel rates, come in the shoulder month of October.
