Agatti Island Beach Resort

The only accommodation in Agatti is the Agatti island Beach Resort. The resort consists of 20 cottages - split into Standard and Deluxe (AC). The Standard cottages have basic amenities (no AC) but the resort website says that they are as comfortable as the deluxe cottages.

A single cottage can accommodate 2 people. Check with them if they can provide extra beds in case you are a bigger group. The price for a cottage varies from Rs 6000 to Rs 12,000 based on what you choose. The prices include the meals which are served in the resort.

They also take you on an excursion to Bangaram Islands, marine life watching on a glass-bottomed boat and fishing. Other adventure activities arranged by the resort include deep-sea diving, snorkeling, sailing and kayaking. All adventure activities are additional and are not included in the cost of the cottages.
