What a week in the Andamans costs in 2026 — flights to Port Blair, the ferries, the good resorts, and why the season is short.

The Andamans are India's best beach holiday and the one people most often assume is expensive. It is not, once you are there — the cost is the flights and the short season, not the days.
A hand-built Andaman Islands trip starts at ₹38,000–₹58,000 per person for 7 nights, land only and based on two people sharing. That is roughly ₹5,500–₹8,500 per person per night.
International flights, visas and travel insurance are not included.
The price excludes international flights, visa fees, travel insurance, meals not mentioned, and optional activities.
The best window is October–May. Travelling either side of the peak weeks usually means the same weather, lower hotel rates and far fewer people at the main sights — which is the cheapest upgrade there is.
7 nights is the sweet spot for a first trip: long enough to settle in, short enough to stay affordable. Five nights works for a short break if you stay in one area. Ten to fourteen nights lets you slow down and add a second region — and because the per-night cost barely changes, the long trip is better value per day.
Havelock is the island people mean when they describe the Andamans, and its good resorts sell out months ahead for December and January. Neil Island is quieter and cheaper for the same water. The ferry between islands is cheap but sells out, and the private catamaran is worth the extra when your time is short.
