Set among magnificent Rainforest & Remote Beach, both our Resorts offer guests an unforgettable Andaman Island adventure experience of the landscape and it’s languid way of life.
The Andaman Islands are a collection of Islands between India and Thailand. They are located in the Indian Ocean. They are made up of a series of remote inlets, private bays and small islands surrounded by pristine, old-growth rain forest. An ancient landscape carved by the ocean, this eastern most coast of India is richly biodiverse. Untouched by time, the coastal ecosystem has evolved freely and now plays host to thousands of species of flora and fauna. Munjoh is set at the doorstep of this precious wilderness, and is rewarded with direct access to one of nature’s great amphitheatres. How do I get there?
With views where jungle mountains & private beach take centre stage, its landscape will fuel your imagination and re-energize any soul. The hills, set next to the clear turquoise ocean waters are a setting that seem lost in a prehistoric time. These views are visible in nearly every villa on the grounds.
Grand wilderness

A diverse range of ecosystems exists within these, ranging from coastal rainforest and old growth forest to oceans and rocky coastal shores.

Stone age tribes & the Jerawas
A legacy of centuries gone by
These Islands have been home to peoples who have lived on them for more than 2000 years. The last remaining protected tribe are the Jerawas and Sentinalese. Most other local populous are now settlers that have come in from Mainland over the last seven decades. Munjoh has with the local people fostered a friendship based partnership built on a mutual desire to honour, celebrate, protect and educate guests about the region’s natural heritage
