Red Skin Island at Andaman Islands

– Nature’s Coral-Kissed Hideaway

Located just 2 kilometers from the peaceful shores of Wandoor Village, within the serene expanse of the Mahatma Gandhi Marine National Park, lies Red Skin Island—a secluded natural wonder where the ocean reveals its most vibrant hues. Named for the striking red coral reefs that surround it, this island is a living watercolor of brilliant tones and underwater marvels, offering a truly immersive escape into marine beauty.

With its turquoise waters and quiet, undisturbed beaches, Red Skin Island feels like an unspoiled chapter of Earth’s story. Open only during select months (May to October, alternating with Jolly Buoy Island), its limited seasonal access helps preserve the fragile ecosystem and ensures a more intimate, crowd-free experience. Free from human habitation, commercial activity, or noisy distractions, the island offers pure natural ambiance—only the sea, the breeze, and the sound of silence.

Hop aboard a glass-bottom boat and witness a surreal underwater world—coral gardens unfurl below like art in motion, with schools of tropical fish weaving through their delicate branches. If you crave something more immersive, snorkeling here rewards you with close encounters with dazzling marine life and maybe even a dolphin or two. It’s a low-key adventure that leaves a lasting impression.

For travelers seeking more than just another beach, Red Skin Island offers a rare blend of raw beauty and mindful tourism—an island where nature thrives and gently invites you to simply observe, respect, and remember.
