jalakara

Nestled on Havelock Island, Jalakara offers a unique blend of boutique hotel charm and private villa exclusivity. With just three rooms, three suites, and one private villa, this intimate retreat combines the homeliness and privacy of a villa with the warm, efficient service of a small hotel. Guests can unwind in a serene, off-grid setting, reconnecting with nature through zero-pollution surroundings, fresh local cuisine, and activities like swimming, massages, and exploring hassle-free beaches. At Jalakara, there are no flatscreens or flashy luxuries—just genuine smiles, lush tropical gardens, and a spectacular rainforest backdrop. Opened in 2016, the property was transformed from an overgrown plantation into a tranquil haven designed to feel like a house party, where guests naturally mingle over sundowners or shared meals. With its informal yet attentive approach, Jalakara promises an authentic and rejuvenating stay in one of the world’s most stunning island destinations.
