ITC Hotels has signed a management agreement for a 22-key Storii by ITC Hotels boutique retreat at Swaraj Dweep (Havelock Island), marking the brand’s entry into the Andaman & Nicobar Islands. The signing comes as the islands recorded their highest-ever tourist arrivals in 2025, with 8.13 lakh visitors, according to the Andaman & Nicobar Administration. Domestic travellers accounted for 93% of the islands’ tourist traffic, according to Airports Authority of India data. Storii Havelock, being developed with Waterwoods Lodge and Resorts, will feature rooms and suites, an all-day dining restaurant, bar, swimming pool, fitness centre, spa and kids’ play area. The property expands ITC Hotels’ leisure portfolio into one of India’s growing island destinations.
