Posted: December 5, 2009 at 8:13 am | Tags: Bangaram, india, Island, romanticThe 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 ship 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 vacation, 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 perfect romantic honeymoon getaway, a lush green empty island covered in coconut groves, and shaped like a teardrop. It is encircled by spotless white sand and a big lagoon, and is an element of a coral atoll with another three islands, all of which can simply be reached form Bangaram, by outboarding, sailing or rowing, canoeing or windsurfing if you find the need to be energetic.
It is 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 comparatively unexplored.
If you would like a tropical vacation on an island hideaway, or a romantic honeymoon getaway, then Bangaram could be your ideal destination or as a part of a package including time in the Kerala part of India.
You need to understand that this island hideaway, whilst perfect for a romantic honeymoon getaway, or for folks who want to play at being castaways, it isn’t at all for people looking for luxury. If you need the trappings of a 5 star resort, just don’t go.
Bangaram itself includes thirty sheds which has 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 newspapers so you will be fully out of effective contact with the pressures of the modern world. Each shed is tiled, on the beach, and has a palm thatched veranda, ensuite bathroom, 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 very much seafood based. The food is without exception outstanding.
Breakfast includes cereals, eggs, Indian dishes and a large amount of fresh fruit.
At night there’s a barbecue on the beach, and the chance to eat outside overlooking the moon shining on the lagoon Bangaram Island resort is the one place where alcohol is permitted 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!!.
