Why choose Neil Island

Neil is smaller and quieter than Havelock, which makes it a good place to slow down. Bharatpur Beach is popular for swimming and water activities, Laxmanpur Beach is known for sunsets, and Sitapur Beach is a favourite for sunrise.

Distances are short, so many visitors explore by bicycle or scooter.

Where to stay in Neil Island

Most stays are spread between the jetty area, the village and the beach roads. A hotel near the jetty helps on ferry days, while a stay closer to the beaches suits a slower, longer visit. Check the distance to the jetty and the beach in each listing and confirm pick-up with the hotel.

Neil has fewer restaurants, ATMs and shops than Havelock, so carry some cash and book early in the peak season.

How to get to Neil Island

Ferries run from Port Blair (Sri Vijaya Puram) and from Havelock. Port Blair to Neil typically takes roughly 1.5 to 2.5 hours, and Havelock to Neil about 1 to 1.5 hours, depending on the operator. Check current schedules before you plan.

Pair Neil with hotels in Havelock for a classic island-hopping trip, or see all hotels in Andaman.
