Where to stay in Andaman Islands
Soft sand, warm shallows and long lazy beach days. Choosing the right area in Andaman Islands matters more than choosing the right hotel — a central room saves an hour a day, and an hour a day is a whole day on a week's trip. Rooms start from around $180/night.
The best areas to stay in Andaman Islands
The historic centre
If it's your first time in Andaman Islands and you're here for three nights or fewer, stay central. You'll pay a premium per night and win it back in taxi fares and walking time. Use Booking.com's map view and draw your search around the oldest part of town.
One neighbourhood out
The band just outside the centre is where Andaman Islands gets interesting and considerably cheaper — usually 25–40% less for the same standard of room, and a ten-minute walk or one stop on public transport from everything.
Beachfront
Beachfront in Andaman Islands costs the most and is worth it only if you'll use the beach daily. Check on the map exactly which stretch of sand the property fronts — 'beach nearby' can mean a fifteen-minute walk with a buggy.
How to choose in five minutes
Open the map view, drop pins on the two or three things you're definitely doing in Andaman Islands, then search only inside that shape. Filter to 8.5+ review score and free cancellation, sort by price, and take the first place with photos of the actual room type. That's the whole method.
