Set on the shore of a picturesque turquoise lagoon, Bangaram offers you the perfect opportunity to unwind, far away from the maddening crowds. Immerse yourself in the beauty of rustic cottages backdropped by a dense canopy of swaying coconut trees. In the absence of the cacophony of your everyday world, this place will help you find balance.

Bangaram is the perfect spot for scuba-diving enthusiasts. Deep dive in the bluest waters imaginable and fill your heart with tranquil silence while gazing at the unexplored underwater world. Get ready for a visual treat as a wide range of beautiful coral fish, harmless yet majestic sharks, eels, friendly turtles and more will keep you company down under.

Bangaram also offers water sports activities like boarding, sailing, rowing, deep-sea fishing, snorkelling, kayaking and wind-surfing. However, if you don’t want to do any of these, that’s totally fine. Just sit back and relax on a hammock and watch the golden, pink, and crimson hues of the skyline dance to the tune of the breaking waves.
