Havelock Island
Experience the allure of Havelock Island, amidst the unexplored waters of the Andaman Sea.
1400 kilometres from Mainland India lies the mystical Andaman and Nicobar Islands with the Bay of Bengal to its west and the Andaman Sea to the east. An archipelago made up of 572 islands, the Andamans is the quintessential getaway for the traveller hungry for experiences in nature, or the wanderer looking for their next escape.
These stunning islands boast cerulean seas, exotic marine life, littoral (wetland) forests just waiting to be explored, Havelock Island is one of them. On the eastern face of Havelock Island is the two kilometre long Vijaynagar Beach (Beach no: 5) with pristine white sand, tranquil blue waters, and awe-inspiring panoramic views of the island’s landscapes; and it is on these shores that CGH Earth’s Tilar Siro Andamans finds home.
The name comes from the original inhabitants of the Andaman archipelago, the Great Andamanese Tribe, who referred to the island as ‘Thi-Lar-Siro’, ‘Thi’ means Earth, ‘Lar’ means from and ‘Siro’ means Sea. For the Great Andamanese Tribe, it was the land emerging from the sea, or the land facing the open sea. Recorded in oral history of the Great Andamanese Tribe, they would go hunting for turtles in the waters surrounding this island.
Thil-lar-siro is also known as the island of turtles. Tilar Siro Andamans captures the signature CGH Earth spirit – while enthralling you with an undiluted Andamans experience.
Camouflaged by tropical foliage that weaves around the resort, the spaces here leave much to discover in every corner. Hosting 25 rooms that stand on stilts with minimalistic luxury, this latest addition to CGH Earth exudes warmth, an understated elegance and a sense of calm. You are met with stunning views regardless of where you are in the resort, be it the open-air deck, the pool, the restaurant, the lounging space, or the balcony of your room.
