Here time stands still in the mesmerizing beauty of a virgin nature. It is one of world's most spectacular tropical islands untouched by the tourist rush.

The emerald green idyllic palm clad islands of Agatti; the long white beaches; the multi-hued shallow, placid lagoon with its myriad life forms; the diamond surf formed by waves striking the reef and the deep blue of the Arabian sea are all feasts to the eye and an experience that will last a lifetime. Perhaps it is one of the very few places where all shades of blue, green and white are present.
