Matsya Island Retreat is a boutique hotel in Havelock Island founded by brothers Ali and Qutub, inspired by their deep connection to the ocean and years of experience in sports fishing. Established in 2022 after nearly five years of dedicated planning, Matsya was created as an intimate sanctuary for travellers seeking tranquillity, thoughtful design, and personalised hospitality.

Featuring a limited collection of individually designed rooms — each named after majestic sports fish — the retreat blends aesthetic detail with functional comfort. From handcrafted finishes to carefully curated interiors, every element reflects the family’s hands-on involvement and commitment to authenticity.

Located in Shyam Nagar, conveniently positioned near key island landmarks and just 2 km from the local market, Matsya offers a peaceful setting away from crowded commercial zones. Rooted in sustainable practices, the retreat promotes a calm, plastic-conscious environment and prioritises guest well-being.

At Matsya Island Retreat, hospitality is personal. Owned and managed by the family, every stay is guided by the simple philosophy of offering guests the kind of experience they would desire for themselves — warm, serene, and memorable.
