Zostel has expanded its footprint with the launch of its first property in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Located in the heart of Port Blair, this new property offers budget-friendly, high-quality accommodations, making it the only hostel chain operating in the region. The property features five private rooms and three dorm rooms, along with a rooftop café offering stunning sea views. With its prime location near the airport and easy access to beaches, historical sites, and natural beauty, it provides an ideal base for travellers exploring the islands.
Port Blair, the capital of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, is becoming an increasingly popular destination for travellers seeking to experience its unique ecosystem, scenic islands, and rich culture. Zostel’s arrival in Port Blair provides budget-conscious backpackers a trusted accommodation option, enhancing access to nearby islands like Havelock, Neil, and Ross, which are famous for their crystal-clear waters, water sports, and island-hopping adventures.
Deep Banka, COO, Zostel, expressed excitement about the launch, stating, “We are thrilled to bring Zostel’s community-driven travel experience to the Andaman Islands. Zostel Port Blair is not just a place to stay; it’s a gateway to exploring the islands’ natural wonders and culture.”
This new addition to the Zostel network is part of the company’s rapid expansion, with 10 new properties launched in 2023 alone. Looking ahead, Zostel plans to open 25 more properties across India by 2025, solidifying its position as a leader in the backpacker and budget travel segment.
