In Port Blair, overlooking... the Bay of Bengal, Welcomgroup Bay Island is built almost entirely of padouk wood, the beautiful red timber that is found on the nadaman Islands. Designed by Charle Correa, the architectural style of the hotel reflects the native life of the islands.

Uncluttred island decor-rush mats, reed curtains, cane and shell lamps.

The pace is relaxed and unhurried; early morning swims, long lazy afternoons, spectacular sunsets and late candlelit dinners.

Welcomgroup Bay Island - 48 rooms and suites built on a series of levels, split against a steeply sloping hillside, with some rooms everlooking the sea.

The Mandalay restaurant serves seafood, island specialities, Indian, Continental and Chinese cuisine.

At the Nico Bar, sip tall chilled island drinks heavy with fruit and served in a coconut shell or take in the view over a coconut shell or take in the view over a snack at the Look Out lounge.
