Built in staggered levels on a hill with magnificent views over much of Havelock Island, Jalakara undeniably has wow factor. Its six stylish boho-chic suites and villa are sublime cocoons of luxury, and the lack of wi-fi, TVs and phones makes Jalakara the perfect place to leave the modern world behind and enjoy a digital detox escape.
Spend your days exploring the island by moped, kayaking through mangrove creeks, following nature trails in search of rare birds, heading out by boat to go deep-sea fishing or discover the nearby islands, and donning tanks and flippers to dive among pristine coral reefs. If you book Jalakara’s beach butler service, hammocks, loungers, music and a cooler with drinks and snacks can be set up on a nearby uninhabited island for you. If you’re feeling lazy, just stay where you are and float serenely in the infinity swimming pool, get pampered with a massage in the wellness pavilion or take part in one of Jalakara’s yoga classes.
