My Experience
Our journey began in Port Blair, where we were welcomed with calm coastal vibes and visited the hauntingly moving Cellular Jail for a glimpse into India’s freedom struggle. The next morning, a smooth ferry ride brought us to the stunning Havelock Island, where the Taj Exotica greeted us with unmatched hospitality. We enjoyed spa therapies, pristine beach walks, and fine dining with views of the turquoise sea. Scuba diving in the vibrant reefs was a highlight, followed by sunset cocktails and private beach dinners. We ended our trip back in Port Blair, exploring local museums and markets while enjoying rooftop dining at Amaya. The blend of nature, luxury, and local culture made it a truly unforgettable escape.
