Zostel, India’s largest backpacker hostel chain, has launched its first property in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, bringing budget-friendly, high-quality accommodations to Port Blair. Zostel, is currently the only hostel chain that is operating in the Andaman & Nicobar Islands. With its unbeatable sea views, a rooftop café, and immersive local experiences, the new Zostel property is set to redefine hospitality & travel in the archipelago. The property, located in the prime center of Port Blair, features five private rooms and three dorm rooms, offering travellers diverse accommodation options with easy access to the pristine beaches, historical sites, and natural beauty that define the region. Zostel is located at a prime location at Phoenix Bay, Foreshore Road that is approximately 3kms from the airport.
Port Blair, the vibrant capital of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, is increasingly attracting travellers eager to explore the unique ecosystem, scenic islands, and rich culture of this tropical paradise. Zostel’s entry into Port Blair provides backpackers and budget travellers a trusted, reasonable accommodation option while enhancing access to the surrounding islands, including Havelock, Neil, and Ross Islands, which are renowned for their unparalleled beauty, water activities, and island-hopping opportunities.
We are thrilled to bring Zostel’s unique blend of community-driven travel and immersive experiences to the pristine Andaman Islands. Zostel Port Blair is more than just a place to stay; it’s a gateway to exploring the islands’ natural wonders and vibrant culture. We’re excited to offer travellers a fresh perspective on island life while fostering connections and unforgettable memories. This launch reinforces our commitment to creating spaces where travellers can experience the essence of each destination authentically. With the addition of the Port Blair property, Zostel has opened 10 new properties in 2023 alone, expanding in regions like Himachal Pradesh, Goa, and now the Andamans. Looking ahead, Zostel plans to add 25 new properties across India by 2025, further solidifying its position as the leader in the new age travel & accommodation segment for backpackers, commented Deep Banka, COO, Zostel
