The best villas in Andaman sit on Havelock Island (officially Swaraj Dweep), where stays range from the luxury stilted villas at Taj Exotica (from about ₹30,000 a night) to beachfront eco-cottages from roughly ₹6,000. If you want a private pool, a whole-house rental, or a boutique hideaway in the rainforest, almost every option is within a 2-hour ferry of Port Blair. This guide ranks 12 villas and resorts by price, location, pool access and who each one suits, then explains exactly how to reach them and what to budget. One honest note up front: Andaman has no true Maldives-style overwater villas — the closest are Taj Exotica’s villas on stilts set among jungle and sea views, which we cover below.

| Welcomhotel / city villas | Port Blair (Sri Vijaya Puram) | ~7,000 | Select | Convenient base | Arrival/departure nights |
If your single priority is a private plunge pool, look at Taj Exotica, Jalakara, Munjoh’s Royal Chalet, Symphony Palms or TSG Blue. Want a whole villa to yourself? The Great Andaman House is the clearest pick. For beachfront on a budget, Eco Villa Palm Beach and Sandy Beach (Neil) sit at the bottom of the price band.
Havelock (Swaraj Dweep), near Radhanagar Beach · from ~₹30,000/night · private pool
Taj Exotica is the most polished stay in the islands and the closest Andaman gets to a true villa resort. It spreads across roughly 46 acres of tropical forest beside Radhanagar (Beach No. 7), the beach that TIME named the best in Asia in 2004, with villas raised on stilts so the jungle and sea sit at eye level. Expect an infinity pool, a Jiva spa, Nicobari-inspired design and the consistent service Taj is known for. Villa categories run from luxury and jungle villas up to premium sea-facing options; some come with their own plunge pool. This is the choice for a honeymoon or a milestone trip where the room itself is part of the holiday.
Havelock (Swaraj Dweep), hilltop interior · from ~₹18,000/night · pool + private pool villa
Jalakara is the islands’ best-known boutique property and the one most international guidebooks single out. Set on a hillside among virgin rainforest in the interior of Havelock, it holds just three rooms, three suites and one standalone private villa — seven keys in all, sleeping up to 16 guests, which keeps the whole place quiet and personal. There is a freshwater pool, yoga and massage on request, and the team arranges snorkelling, kayaking and diving excursions. A three-night minimum stay applies. It suits couples who want design and privacy over a big-resort buzz — and being inland, it trades a beachfront for genuine seclusion.
Havelock (Swaraj Dweep), near Kalapathar · luxury villas from ~₹12,000, Royal Chalet ~₹33,000 · private pool
Munjoh is the property to book if a private pool is non-negotiable but Taj rates are not. This boutique beachfront resort offers Ocean suites, garden pool cottages and a two-bedroom Royal Chalet with a kitchenette and its own private pool, alongside more affordable luxury villas with a deck. The on-site restaurant is well regarded and the staff organise water sports. Note the correct location: Munjoh is on Havelock near Kalapathar, not in Port Blair as some older listings state.
Havelock (Swaraj Dweep), Radhanagar (Beach No. 7) · from ~₹14,000/night · no pool
Barefoot is the original eco-resort on Havelock and the only stay with direct walking access to Radhanagar beach, set in the forest belt behind it. Accommodation splits between air-conditioned Andaman Villas with a sun deck and rustic, fan-cooled Nicobari Cottages modelled on the circular community huts of the Nicobar Islands, some with open-air jungle showers. There is no swimming pool — the point here is the beach and the rainforest. The in-house team runs diving, snorkelling and kayaking. Choose it for nature and slow travel rather than resort gloss.
Havelock (Swaraj Dweep), hilltop, ~3 km from Radhanagar · from ~₹23,000/night (whole house) · no pool
If you want an entire villa to yourselves rather than a resort room, this three-bedroom hilltop house is the standout. It sits amid forest with warm wooden interiors, private patios and balconies, and comes with a driver and house-help staff (and a resident dog). Because you book the whole property, it works best for a family or a group of friends splitting the cost across three rooms — at which point the per-head rate drops below several resort options
Havelock (Swaraj Dweep), Govind Nagar · from ~₹9,000/night · pool
SeaShell is the dependable full-service pick and one of Havelock’s highest-rated resorts on traveller review sites. Five minutes from the jetty among coconut groves, it has a multi-cuisine restaurant, a beachfront bar, a spa, a swimming pool and Jacuzzi, an in-house dive centre and a kids’ play zone. It is not a private-villa experience, but for first-timers who want everything in one place at a fair price, it is hard to fault.
Port Blair & Havelock · from ~₹7,500–8,000/night
Sinclairs operates well-run properties in both Port Blair (Bayview) and Havelock, making it a tidy choice if you want one trusted brand across a city-plus-island itinerary. Symphony Palms Beach Resort, on Govind Nagar in Havelock, is a popular mid-range beachfront resort with a pool, comfortable cottages and easy access to the dive sites — a sensible middle ground between budget huts and five-star villas for couples and families.
Havelock (Swaraj Dweep), Govind Nagar (Beach 2) · from ~₹6,000/night · no pool
These thatched bamboo eco-huts sit directly on the beach, clean and simply equipped, with sea views from the door. There is an in-house scuba operation with experienced divers. You trade air-conditioning and polish for a genuine on-the-sand stay at one of the lowest rates on the island — ideal for divers and budget travellers who plan to be out all day.
Havelock, Neil (Shaheed Dweep) & Port Blair (Sri Vijaya Puram) · from ~₹6,500–7,000/night
TSG Blue on Havelock offers cottage-style rooms around a pool at solid value. For a quieter alternative island, Sandy Beach Resort on Neil (Shaheed Dweep) puts you near Laxmanpur and Bharatpur beaches away from Havelock’s crowds. And it is worth booking one night in Port Blair (Sri Vijaya Puram) at the start or end — properties like Welcomhotel and Sinclairs Bayview make early-flight mornings and the Cellular Jail light-and-show easy to reach.

Almost all of Andaman’s villas are on Havelock — it has the best beaches, the most dive sites and the deepest choice of stays. Neil suits travellers who want a slower, less-developed island, while Port Blair is best treated as an arrival-and-departure base rather than a villa destination in itself.
| Island | Best for | Villa choice | Reach from Port Blair |
| Havelock (Swaraj Dweep) | Luxury, pools, diving, beaches | Widest — budget to 5-star | 1.5–2 hr ferry |
| Neil (Shaheed Dweep) | Quiet, couples, off-crowd | Limited, mostly cottages | 1.5–2 hr ferry |
| Port Blair (Sri Vijaya Puram) | Arrival night, history, flights | City hotels, few true villas | Airport / jetty here |

“Villa” covers several very different stays in the Andamans. This matrix maps the main types to price, who they suit and the trade-off you accept.
| Villa type | Example | Typical from/night | You get | You trade off |
| Luxury stilted villa | Taj Exotica | ₹30,000 | 5-star service, infinity pool, sea views | Highest price |
| Boutique pool villa | Jalakara, Munjoh Royal Chalet | ₹18,000–33,000 | Privacy, private/plunge pool, design | Smaller, often inland or limited beach |
| Whole-house rental | The Great Andaman House | ₹23,000 (3-BR) | Entire villa, staff, best per-head for groups | No resort facilities/pool |
| Eco / Nicobari villa | Barefoot, Eco Villa Palm Beach | ₹6,000–14,000 | Beachfront, nature, character | Often no pool/AC |
| Resort villa room | SeaShell, Symphony Palms | ₹8,000–9,000 | Pool, dining, dive centre, value | Not a private villa |

The season runs October to May, with November to April the most reliable for calm seas and ferries. Villa rates are not flat across that window — they spike over Christmas–New Year and Indian long weekends, when the best properties sell out weeks ahead. The monsoon months (June to September) bring the lowest rates but rougher crossings and occasional ferry cancellations.
| Period | Weather | Villa demand | What to do |
| Nov – early Dec | Best — dry, calm seas | High | Book 4–6 weeks ahead |
| Christmas – New Year | Peak, dry | Highest — sells out | Book 2–3 months ahead; expect surge pricing |
| Jan – Apr | Warm, dry, calm | High | Book 3–4 weeks ahead |
| May | Hot, pre-monsoon | Moderate | Good value, deals appear |
| Jun – Sep (monsoon) | Rain, rough seas | Low | Cheapest rates; check ferry reliability |

Getting to a Havelock villa from the mainland is a two-stage trip — a flight to Port Blair, then a ferry. These six steps cover the whole journey.
Step 1: Fly to Port Blair (Sri Vijaya Puram). Veer Savarkar International Airport (IXZ) is the only airport. Direct flights run from Chennai (about 2 hr 15 min) and Kolkata (about 2 hr 10 min), with one-stop options from Delhi, Bengaluru and others.
Step 2: Transfer to the ferry jetty. From the airport it is a short drive to Haddo / Phoenix Bay jetty. If your flight lands late, stay one night in Port Blair and take a morning ferry.
Step 3: Take the ferry to Havelock (Swaraj Dweep). Private catamaran ferries — Makruzz, Nautika and Green Ocean — cross in about 1.5–2 hours, with one-way fares roughly ₹1,100–1,800. The government DSS ferry is cheaper but books out early. Reserve ferry seats before you travel, especially Dec–Jan.
Step 4: Arrange a villa pickup at the jetty. Most luxury and boutique villas include or arrange a jetty transfer. Confirm this when you book so someone meets you at Havelock jetty.
Step 5: Reach your beach. Havelock’s stays cluster around Govind Nagar (Beach 2–5) and Radhanagar (Beach No. 7). Transfers are a 10–30 minute drive depending on the property.
Step 6: Check in — no special permit needed. Indian nationals need no permit for Havelock; foreign nationals simply register on arrival at the airport. Carry a valid photo ID for check-in.

Villa rates swing hard. Budget beachfront huts start near ₹6,000 a night, comfortable resort villas sit around ₹8,000–12,000, boutique pool villas run ₹18,000–33,000, and the five-star benchmark at Taj Exotica starts around ₹30,000. Add ferries (₹1,100–1,800 per person each way), airport transfers and meals on top. The figures below are indicative 2026 published rates and move with season and availability.
| Budget tier | Per night (₹) | Examples | Good for |
| Budget beachfront | 6,000 – 9,000 | Eco Villa Palm Beach, Sandy Beach (Neil), TSG Blue | Backpackers, divers |
| Mid-range resort | 8,000 – 14,000 | SeaShell, Symphony Palms, Barefoot | Couples, families |
| Boutique / pool villa | 18,000 – 33,000 | Jalakara, Munjoh Royal Chalet | Quiet luxury, private pool |
| 5-star luxury | 30,000+ | Taj Exotica | Honeymoon, special occasion |

Taj Exotica Resort & Spa on Havelock (Swaraj Dweep) is the best luxury villa stay, with stilted villas beside Radhanagar beach, an infinity pool and a spa, from about ₹30,000 a night. For a quieter boutique alternative, Jalakara's hilltop rooms and private pool villa are the top design pick. The best villa for you depends on whether you prioritise a private pool, a beachfront, or a whole-house rental.
Some do. Taj Exotica, Jalakara, Munjoh's Royal Chalet, Symphony Palms and TSG Blue offer pools — and a few of these have private or plunge pools attached to the villa rather than only a shared resort pool. Always confirm whether the listing means a private villa pool or the common pool, as the wording differs between properties.
Budget beachfront huts start near ₹6,000, mid-range resort villas run ₹8,000–14,000, boutique pool villas ₹18,000–33,000, and five-star villas at Taj Exotica from around ₹30,000. Rates are highest over Christmas–New Year and long weekends. Add ferry fares of ₹1,100–1,800 per person each way and transfers on top.
On Havelock Island (Swaraj Dweep), which has the widest choice of stays, the best beaches and the most dive sites. Villas cluster around Govind Nagar (Beach 2–5) and Radhanagar (Beach No. 7). Neil (Shaheed Dweep) has a few quiet cottages, and Port Blair (Sri Vijaya Puram) has city hotels best used for arrival and departure nights.
No. Andaman has no true overwater bungalows built on stilts above a lagoon. The closest experience is Taj Exotica's villas, which stand on stilts among jungle and sea views rather than over the water itself. Anyone marketing a Maldives-style overwater villa in Andaman is overstating it.
For a honeymoon or milestone trip, yes. It is the islands' only true five-star villa resort, set on roughly 46 acres beside Radhanagar (rated the best beach in Asia by TIME in 2004), with an infinity pool, spa and consistent Taj service. If your priority is value or being out diving all day, a mid-range resort villa delivers more for the money.
Yes. Eco Villa Palm Beach Resort offers beachfront bamboo huts from about ₹6,000, Sandy Beach Resort on Neil and TSG Blue on Havelock sit in the ₹6,500–7,000 band, and several Govind Nagar resorts run ₹8,000–9,000. You trade air-conditioning or a pool for a genuine on-the-sand stay at the lowest rates.
Travel between November and April for the calmest seas and most reliable ferries. Book standard dates 3–4 weeks ahead, and Christmas–New Year 2–3 months ahead, as the best villas sell out and prices surge. May offers good value before the monsoon; June–September is cheapest but brings rough crossings and occasional ferry cancellations.
Fly to Port Blair (Sri Vijaya Puram, airport code IXZ), about 2 hr 15 min from Chennai or 2 hr 10 min from Kolkata, then take a private ferry (Makruzz, Nautika or Green Ocean) to Havelock in 1.5–2 hours for ₹1,100–1,800 one way. Most villas arrange a jetty pickup; confirm this when booking.
Yes. The Great Andaman House is a three-bedroom hilltop villa on Havelock you book in full, with a driver and house-help included, from about ₹23,000 a night. Split across a family or group, the per-person rate falls below many resort rooms. A few luxury villas at Taj Exotica can also be taken as standalone units.
Indian nationals need no special permit for Havelock, Neil or Port Blair. Foreign nationals are simply registered on arrival at Port Blair airport. Some outlying islands still require a permit, but the main villa islands do not. Carry a valid photo ID for ferry boarding and hotel check-in.
Both deliver, differently. Goa has more private-pool villas, lower prices and easier access, with shacks and nightlife. Andaman offers cleaner, quieter beaches, far better diving and snorkelling, and a more secluded feel — but villas are fewer, pricier and reached by ferry. For a beach party, Goa; for clear water and seclusion, Andaman.
