In this blog, we're going to tell you why and mostly, how you can plan your honeymoon in the Andamans. This will give you all the clarity you need on how you can make the most of your Honeymoon on the romantic haven that is the Andaman Islands.

What makes Andaman an ideal honeymoon destination?

Well, as much as most of us are dying to elope to a foreign destination for a honeymoon, we really forget that India offers a lifetime worth of romantic destinations.

So, if you are thinking that azure blue seas and dancing palm trees on white-sand islands are only found in Thailand, Maldives, and Indonesia, think again! The Andamans is home to 572 lush, green islands literally floating on the Bay of Bengal.

It gets its fair share of newly-weds year after year, simply because it is a honeymoon-worthy location. Other than the romance quotient, it is one flight away from most metro cities and tastefully designed resorts with romantic rooms, scrumptious food, and a great range of activities that give your trip just the perfect pizzazz.

Here is a list of all the things that make Andamans a Honeymoon destination :

If you are an Indian citizen, then you don't need a visa or a passport to visit this place. An Aadhar card or any other government ID will do.

It's easily accessible via short, direct flights that operate from most metro cities. Delhi is the farthest metro city and it takes about 3 and a 1/2 hours at most from Delhi to Port Blair.

Enough couple-friendly hotels that turn into an idyllic setting for a honeymoon are available across all budget levels.

From water sports to trekking and fishing, or any other activity, we have a lot going on, all in aid of relaxation.

Every single day will give you something to do if that's what you want.

We've got lots of resorts right on the beach, with a yoga room or a poolside bar if some couples just want to do nothing and keep it low-key.

It will give you a home-away-from-home feel because the food, the currency, and the language all are very Indian.

Most restaurants serve Indian food with ample vegetarian options, and most of the people can speak Hindi.

Things To Do On Your Honey Moon

Rent a two-wheeler Two-wheelers are such an integral part of an Indian romance, thanks to Bollywood movies! The front desk staff at your resort will be able to tell you where you can rent a two-wheeler at Havelock and Neil. Since public transport is not really an option and cabs can get expensive, two-wheelers are not just the most couple-friendly choice, they're also the most fun! It gives you the independence of movement, apart from not having to wait around on a cab, and riding with your better half through the cool, lush jungles is an experience in itself. A two-wheeler hire for the day can cost anywhere between Rs. 400 to Rs. 500 for an Activa and Rs. 800 for a Royal Enfield, not inclusive of fuel charges.

Candle Light Dinners It's incomplete if there isn't at least one candle-lit evening in the honeymoon. The hype is so worth it. Imagine sitting in a dimly-lit restaurant with your beau; to top it off, you'll have the pleasant company of candles, wine, great food, and the sea breeze! It makes for some memories that can go right in your honeymoon memory box.

Enjoy a Day of Water Sports Now, both Havelock and Neil have beaches for you to spend some adrenaline-fueled yay time with your boo. At Havelock, it'll be Elephant Beach, and at Neil, you'll find it on Bharatpur Beach. If you're looking at Port Blair, then you have 2 spots: North Bay and Corbyn's Cove. Activities include banana boats, jet skis, para-sailing, sea-karting, and more. Prices for such activities can range from Rs. 1000 to Rs. 3000 per person for a period of about 20 – 25 minutes.

Terk Together Find your way to a marked, safe trail and treat yourselves to some nice, healthy alone time. Particularly, there are two easy trails which we would recommend that have relatively easier gradients. One is the Havelock Island trail going up to Elephant beach. Usually, almost all tourists go to the Elephant Beach through a boat ride, but then, of course, trekking is the more adventurous way of getting to the place. It is pretty popular, visited by lots of youth, and it takes approximately 45 minutes one way. Another one is situated in Chidiya Tapu, Port Blair; this one starts on Chidiya Tapu Beach and takes you through to Munda Pahad, with a panoramic view of the islands around. One-way, it takes about 30 minutes, and it's perfect for a relaxed trek that ends with some killer views. If you're on the lookout for something a bit more challenging or specialized, like bird-watching treks, inter-tidal walks to learn about the oceanic bio-systems, or wildlife treks, do reach out to us for the details!

Go night kayaking with your Partner You know how most people are into their fireflies? Night kayaking will allow you an experience of their bioluminescence underwater, where plankton glows at the surface of the water starting at night, allowing you to have that glowing, lit-up feeling under the stars. Quietly glide through the mangroves with chirping crickets. Über-romantic stuff!
