Where to Stay in the Andaman Islands

Choosing the right base matters as much as choosing the right hotel. Here's how the islands compare for the best hotels in Andaman Islands.

Port Blair is the gateway to the archipelago and the best base for your first and last night. Hotels in Port Blair sit close to Veer Savarkar International Airport, the Cellular Jail, and the ferry terminals to Havelock and Neil Island — ideal if you're arriving late, catching an early ferry, or need reliable Wi-Fi for business travel.

Havelock Island (Swaraj Dweep) is home to Radhanagar Beach and the Andaman's best diving schools, making it the natural choice for honeymooners, divers, and anyone chasing that classic beachfront-resort experience. Havelock Island resorts cluster around Beach No. 3, Beach No. 5, and Beach No. 7, each with a slightly different pace and price point.

Neil Island (Shaheed Dweep) is smaller, quieter, and greener — a favourite for slow travel, wellness stays, and couples who want fewer crowds without giving up beach access. Expect boutique resorts and eco-lodges rather than large hotel chains. These are some of the most serene Neil Island hotels in the archipelago.

Baratang, Rangat, Diglipur, Long Island and Little Andaman sit further off the well-worn tourist trail. Stays here are simpler — jungle lodges, forest retreats, and surf camps — but reward travellers heading to the limestone caves, Ross & Smith Islands, or the Andaman's least-visited beaches. For adventurous travellers, these hotels in Andaman Islands offer a truly off-grid experience.

Insider Tips

Top Tips for Choosing the Best Hotels in Andaman Islands

Make the right call with these practical pointers from our local team.

1. Book early for peak season (October–May). The best hotels in Andaman Islands sell out months in advance, especially luxury and elite properties. Secure your stay at least 2–3 months ahead for the widest choice.

2. Match the island to your vibe. If you want nightlife and diving, Havelock is your pick. For total silence and yoga, Neil Island wins. Port Blair is for convenience and transit. Choose your base carefully — it's the difference between a good trip and a great one.

3. Check the amenities that matter most. Power backup, air conditioning, and reliable Wi-Fi are non‑negotiable for many. Our best hotels in Andaman Islands all meet these baselines, but always double‑check if you have specific needs.

4. Don't overlook the ferry schedules. Some properties offer private boat transfers, but most rely on the government ferry network. We've factored this into our recommendations — all our best hotels in Andaman Islands are positioned for easy ferry access.

5. Read recent guest feedback. We've done the vetting for you, but we also encourage you to cross‑check with recent reviews on Booking.com or Agoda to get a feel for the current guest experience.

How to Choose

Budget, Deluxe, Premium, Luxury or Elite?

Every property on this page is grouped into one of five categories, so you can filter by what matters — price, space, or polish — when choosing hotels in Andaman Islands.

Budget hotels in Andaman typically mean clean, simple rooms with AC and Wi-Fi, often a short walk from the beach rather than directly on it — a smart choice for backpackers, solo travellers, and short transit stays in Port Blair.

Deluxe and Premium hotels add a proper restaurant, a pool, and better-appointed rooms, and sit closer to the water. This tier suits most families and first-time visitors who want comfort without paying for a five-star label. Many of the best beach resorts in Andaman fall into this category.

Luxury and Elite resorts are where Andaman's beachfront reputation really shows — private pools, sea-view suites, spa treatments, and dedicated butler or concierge service. These are the categories we recommend most for honeymoons and milestone celebrations. For the ultimate experience, these luxury resorts in Andaman are unmatched.

Use the category filter above alongside the island tabs to narrow down hotels in Andaman Islands by exactly the tier you're after. For more details, read our Andaman Hotel Guide or browse our Luxury Resorts in Andaman collection.

Which is the best beach resort in the Andaman Islands?
