hideaway in one of the world’s last undeveloped tropical
islands.
Some
things to prepare for before you arrive:
-
Nocturnal
forest sounds can be irritating, if you are a light
sleeper and staying in a Nicobari Cottage
-
On
occasion, the air-conditioning in the Andaman Villas can
be erratic due to voltage fluctuations, but any disruption
will be commensurately compensated.
-
Due

Expect
the occasional shower even in the dry season; conversely,
you could have glorious sunshine during the wet season.
