Introducing SeaShell Samssara Havelock: A New Luxury Hotel in Havelock Island That Redefines Island Living

There are places you visit, and then there are places that stay with you long after you have left — places that linger in the mind like the sound of waves at dusk, unhurried and effortless. SeaShell Samssara Havelock is one of those rare places. Nestled on the lush, tropical embrace of Havelock Island — now officially known as Swaraj Dweep — this stunning new property is the latest jewel in the SeaShell Hotels & Resorts crown, and it is already setting a new benchmark for luxury hospitality in the Andaman Islands.

Whether you are a seasoned traveller who has explored Havelock before or someone planning their very first trip to the Andamans, SeaShell Samssara Havelock offers something truly special: the chance to experience this extraordinary island not just as a tourist, but as someone who truly belongs here.

A Property Born From a Passion for the Islands

SeaShell Hotels & Resorts has been synonymous with luxury, warmth, and authentic island living in the Andamans for years. With celebrated properties like SeaShell Havelock, SeaShell Samssra Neil, SeaShell Neil, SeaShell Marine Hill, and SeaShell Coral Cove already earning the brand a devoted following, the launch of SeaShell Samssara Havelock marks an exciting new chapter.

Samssara — the name itself evokes a sense of journey, of transformation, of a world in constant, beautiful motion. And that philosophy is woven into every corner of this property. From the moment you step through its doors, you sense that this is not merely a hotel. It is a carefully crafted experience designed to connect you more deeply with the incredible landscape that surrounds it.

Rooms That Let the Island In

At SeaShell Samssara Havelock, the accommodations are designed to feel like a private sanctuary. The property offers two categories of beautifully appointed rooms — Executive Rooms and Club Rooms — each crafted with understated elegance that allows the natural beauty of Havelock Island to take centre stage.

The Executive Rooms are a serene retreat. Think plush furnishings, calming earthy tones, and modern comforts that ensure you want for nothing. Each room opens onto a private balcony — the perfect spot to sip your morning tea while breathing in the fresh island air, watching the palms sway gently in the tropical breeze.

The Club Rooms take the experience a step further. Designed for couples and solo travellers who want a touch more indulgence, these stylish rooms feature a private balcony and a bathtub — a quiet luxury that makes unwinding after a day on the island feel truly restorative. Every detail, from the warmth of the lighting to the quality of the linens, has been considered with your comfort in mind.

Start Your Mornings Right: The Poolside Lounge

There is no better way to begin a day in Havelock than by the pool, and SeaShell Samssara Havelock's Poolside Lounge makes that morning ritual something to look forward to. Bask in the gentle morning sun, sip on refreshing beverages, and let the unhurried pace of island life wash over you. The poolside is equally magical in the evenings, when the setting sun casts a warm golden hue across the water and the air fills with the sounds of the island at dusk.

Dining That Celebrates the Flavours of the Andamans

Food at SeaShell Samssara Havelock is not an afterthought — it is an experience in itself. The property's signature dining spaces have been designed to take you on a culinary journey that celebrates the very best of Andamanese and international cuisine. Fresh seafood caught locally, global favorites reimagined with island ingredients, and a warm, attentive service that makes every meal feel like an occasion.

Whether you choose to begin your day with a hearty breakfast, enjoy a relaxed afternoon meal with the sound of the island as your backdrop, or wind down with an elegant dinner under a canopy of stars, dining at Samssara is always a delight. The team's commitment to using fresh, quality ingredients means that every dish tells a story — of the sea, of the land, and of the incredible culinary heritage of these islands.

Rejuvenate Body and Mind: Spa & Wellness

Havelock Island is the kind of place that naturally invites you to slow down — and SeaShell Samssara Havelock's spa and wellness offerings make that invitation impossible to refuse. Holistic therapies, expert practitioners, and a peaceful environment combine to offer a spa experience that soothes not just the body, but the soul. Whether you choose a traditional Ayurvedic treatment, a rejuvenating massage, or a gentle wellness session, you will emerge feeling restored and ready to embrace everything this remarkable island has to offer.

Your Gateway to Havelock's Best Experiences

While SeaShell Samssara Havelock offers everything you need to simply relax and recharge, it also serves as the perfect launchpad for Havelock Island's many adventures. The island is home to Radhanagar Beach, consistently ranked among the finest beaches in Asia. Crystal-clear waters, vibrant coral reefs teeming with marine life, lush mangrove forests, and jungle trails all await just beyond the property's doors.
