Where the Forest Welcomes You: A Jungle Getaway in the Andamans

Hidden within the tropical forest of Havelock Island, just before Kalapathar village begins, Forest Elephant Jungle Lodges offers a rare jungle escape where nature is not just outside - it is part of the stay. Designed for travelers who seek meaning, calm, and connection, this forest retreat brings together rustic charm and quiet luxury in the heart of the Andaman Islands.

Wooden Lodges Designed Around Nature

Every lodge at Forest Elephant is crafted almost entirely from wood and bamboo, blending effortlessly into the surrounding forest. The design invites the outdoors indoors, creating spaces that feel open, grounded, and deeply connected to nature.

Plantation View rooms feature open-to-sky showers, allowing guests to bathe beneath the sky while surrounded by greenery and birdsong. Paddy View rooms open out into private outdoor spaces, offering uninterrupted views of swaying fields and the changing light throughout the day. Each detail is intentional - meant to slow time and heighten awareness of the natural world.

A Resort Between Forest and Beach

Set within the forest yet just a two-minute walk to the beach, the resort offers the best of both worlds. Days can begin with birds calling from the trees and end with long walks along the shore. This seamless balance between jungle and sea makes the experience uniquely Havelock - quiet, immersive, and deeply restorative.

Thoughtful, Sustainable Living

Forest Elephant Jungle Lodges is guided by a commitment to conscious travel. Single-use plastics are avoided as much as possible, and the property is managed with respect for the land it occupies. Sustainability here is not a trend - it is a way of living in harmony with the forest and the island ecosystem.

For Every Kind of Traveler

Whether arriving for solo getaways, romantic retreats, or time shared with friends and family, Forest Elephant welcomes all. The space is equally suited for couples seeking privacy, groups of friends exploring together, and families looking to reconnect through nature. The forest offers room for solitude and togetherness in equal measure.

A Haven for Nature Lovers and Adventure Seekers

This jungle retreat is especially rewarding for those who enjoy birdwatching, slow beach days, and quiet observation of nature. For guests drawn to adventure, Havelock Island offers snorkeling, diving, kayaking, cycling, and forest walks - all easily accessible from the lodge.

The Andaman Experience, Reimagined

Forest Elephant Jungle Lodges invites guests to experience the Andamans as they once were - unrushed, rooted, and real. Set between forest and sea, comfort and wilderness, it is a place where luxury is felt, not displayed, and where nature leads the way.
