Andaman honeymoon guide — route, resorts and real budgets
Maldives-blue water without a passport: the couple's plan for Havelock and Neil.
By Vaanya Travels Editorial Desk · Updated 2026-07-12
Is Andaman better than Maldives for a honeymoon?
For most Indian couples, yes on value: Andaman delivers Maldives-blue water at a third of the price, with no passport, visa or forex needed. What you trade away is the overwater villa. A luxurious 5-night Andaman honeymoon costs ₹70,000–₹1,20,000 per couple versus ₹2.5L+ for Maldives.
The honeymoon route
- Port Blair (1 night) — arrive, Cellular Jail light & sound, seafood dinner.
- Havelock (3 nights) — the honeymoon heart: Radhanagar sunset, private candle-lit beach dinner, couple scuba at Nemo Reef, kayaking through mangroves at night (bioluminescence on new-moon weeks).
- Neil (1 night) — Natural Bridge at low tide, cycling between beaches, glass-bottom boat.
Where to stay (couple favourites)
| Budget | Havelock | Approx./night |
|---|
| Luxury | Taj Exotica Resort & Spa | ₹28,000+ |
| Premium | SeaShell / Symphony Palms | ₹9,000–15,000 |
| Boutique | Havelock Island Beach Resort | ₹6,000–9,000 |
What is the best month for an Andaman honeymoon?
December to February is ideal — dry days, 25–30°C, glassy seas for ferries and diving, and the bluest water of the year. Book resorts 6–8 weeks ahead for this window. October–November and March–April are fine value alternatives; skip June–September monsoon.

How much should we budget overall?
