Location

How do you get there?

The easiest and quickest way to travel to us to fly to Port Blair, India (for Munjoh Island House) followed by a scenic 1.5 hr-ferry to Havelock Jetty (for Munjoh Ocean Resort). Most big states in India have a direct flight to Port Blair. Due to security reasons guests must transport their own suitcases within the jetties to the ferries. We therefore recommend traveling light and not to overpack. It is always summer on these isles!
