Wake up to water on every side, in a tent made almost entirely of glass.
Coral Pearl sits on Bangaram Island in the Lakshadweep archipelago, one of India's most pristine and unspoiled corners. IHCL's newest opening brings 50 glamping tents to the island, each wrapped in floor-to-ceiling glass, so the turquoise water and the changing colour of the sky become part of the room itself.
Days unfold around the reef: snorkelling and scuba diving through some of India's healthiest coral, kayaking across the lagoon, guided trails through the island's greenery.
And the evenings have their own rhythm. Smok serves Indian, Continental and Asian food right by the water, while Calypso, the island's bar, takes its name and character from the old deep-sea legends of these waters. Both open straight onto the sea.
This is glamping the way Lakshadweep does it, unhurried, and about as far from the everyday as luxury in India gets.
Would you trade four walls for a glass tent on the edge of the Arabian Sea?
