Bangaram presents a breathtaking spectacle of sparkling coral reefs, turquoise blue lagoons, silvery beaches and lush green coconut palms. All preserved in the state little different from the way God created them - leaving the visitor with a difficult choice. Activity or inactivity?
You can simply laze on the silver beaches, soak in the sun, listen to the sound of the waves and watch the swaying of the palms. The island feels like it was designed specifically for languid strolls, to watch the beach dances of hermit crabs and listen to the raucous music of the seabirds. But should you feel the need for a little more adventure on your holiday, Bangaram island offers a whole new set of activities.
The resort offers you a variety of outdoor pursuits - scuba diving, snorkelling, deep sea fishing, kayaking and so on. A well-equipped and professionally manned Scuba Diving facility is available at the resort. As a diving location, the virgin reefs of Bangaram have been ranked by experienced divers as being among the best anywhere. Recently an ancient shipwreck was discovered. Besides coral, the reef abounds in undersea life, particularly game fish and turtles. Diving sites are off the reefs and are reached by boat.
Diving courses and lagoon diving are offered for beginners. Diving is permitted only within safe depths around 30 meters. Visitors can avail of a decompression chamber, except from 15 May to 15 September.
For deep sea big game fishing, Bangaram is an ideal location. Record size Barracuda, Sailfish, Yellowfin, Travelly and Wahoo have often been landed. Local boats are available here for rent with experienced crew. Serious anglers are advised to bring their own equipment.
Accommodation on the island is simple, unpretentious, yet comfortable. Set in 128 acres, there are 30 tiled-roof beach huts, each with its own palm-thatched verandah, en suite bathroom, ceiling fan and fridge. In a bit to preserve Bangaram's unique environment, a hotel atmosphere is avoided intentionally, but there are enough creature comforts to ensure your stay is an enjoyable one.
Coconut and fish are abundantly available on the island. So naturally, no meal would be complete without a selection of the day's catch. The cuisine styles are international and the menu also offers a selection from the coast of India and local island recipes. There is also a well stocked bar, right off the beach. Not that the magic of the enchanted isles needs any additional uplift!

Ayurveda is the Indian system of traditional medicine, and it's a great way to treat niggling, chronic health problems. The resort has fully equipped ayurvedic facilities.
