Bangaram Island is a small, uninhabited coral atoll in Lakshadweep, located around 12 km from Agatti Island. It is often regarded as one of the most beautiful and least explored beach destinations in India. The island is only accessible via boat from Agatti, ensuring an exclusive experience with limited visitors.
Surrounded by a vast blue lagoon filled with coral reefs, Bangaram is a diver’s paradise. The Bangaram Island Resort is the only accommodation on the island, offering eco-friendly beachside huts and a luxurious tropical experience. Since Bangaram is an uninhabited island, it provides a rare opportunity to experience untouched nature, bioluminescent beaches, and an absence of urban noise.
The island is famous for bioluminescence, where phytoplankton in the water glow at night, creating a magical blue sparkle in the waves. Activities like snorkeling, deep-sea fishing, glass-bottom boat rides, and diving allow visitors to explore the vibrant marine life, including turtles, manta rays, and reef sharks.
Unlike other islands in Lakshadweep, Bangaram does not require a separate tourist permit, making it one of the easiest islands for foreigners to visit.
