New Year Celebration in the Andaman Islands 2027

Some nights will be lively with partying under the stars, while others can be more laid-back with a candlelit dinner by the beach. This guide will show you all the information you need to know about the New Year party in the Andaman. Including where to party and what to do, along with tips on how to easily plan your Andaman New Year.

Why Choose Andaman for New Year 2027?

Most New Year vacations are packed with traffic, noisy nightclubs and high prices. That's what the Andaman has to offer.

  • Sunshine and dry days. The dry, clear season of November to January has little variation in visibility; the water is fairly calm and is ideal for beach evenings or water sports.
  • Festivities for every mood. It's possible to enjoy a party on the sand, a romantic dinner for two or a quiet night on the beach with family.
  • Beaches and adventures all in one go. Morning snorkelling, afternoon historic site visits and a New Year's ring-in by the water!
  • A peaceful reset. The islands are slow enough for the beginning of 2027 after a hectic year.

New Year Events in Andaman: What to Expect

Celebrations are usually centred on Port Blair and Havelock Island (Swaraj Dweep), where most resorts, restaurants and beach properties are based. Most Andaman New Year events are organised by resorts and hotels, so what's on offer depends on where you stay. Typical options include:

Gala dinner and countdown nights. A few resorts will be serving up a special New Year's Eve meal, either a buffet or set menu, music and a midnight countdown.

Beach parties, bonfire nights. The best part of the New Year beach party at Andaman is the music, lights and relaxed beach vibe for the younger-age travelers and groups.

Performing arts and cultural activities. Live music may be available in the evening at some properties, or there may be acoustic music or local bands.

Private celebrations. Often couples and families avoid the crowds and would prefer a private set-up on the sand or in a quiet table by the water.

Please note that event information will vary annually; therefore, please check the information for your property when making your booking. You can tell this from a good travel planner before you pay!

Best Places to Celebrate New Year in Andaman

New Year celebration in Andaman

Havelock Island (Swaraj Dweep)

Havelock is undoubtedly the best place to go for a New Year party in Andaman. The resorts, cafes and beaches in this area are the most lively. Radhanagar Beach is most popular due to its endless stretch of open beach. Elephant Beach is great for those wanting to enjoy some water sports. This place is very lively in the evenings, which makes it great for friends, couples or groups.

Port Blair

Port Blair is the port of arrival and a convenient overnight stay. Cellular Jail and Ross Island are expeditions for the day, and you can enjoy an evening at a hotel or on the water. If you're looking for comfort and convenience, rather than a large party beach, this is a good option.

Shahid Dweep, Neil Island

Neil is the quieter of the two. It is a small, relaxed island, easily explored on a bike, with a relaxed beach like Bharatpur or Laxmanpur. If you're looking for a perfect New Year, that also means you want a slow evening and an early night, then Neil will deliver.

Romantic New Year Ideas for Couples

For couples, the best way to welcome 2027 is often a setup built just for the two of you. Candlelight dinners on the beach are popular in Andaman, and they range from simple to elaborate:

  • A basic beachside candlelight dinner starts from around ₹6,000.
  • A heart-shaped candle setup starts from around ₹9,000.
  • Setups with a decorated canopy or LED lights start from around ₹14,000.
  • An on-water romantic candlelight dinner starts from around ₹18,000.
  • For a splurge, a floating boat candlelight dinner starts from around ₹50,000.

All prices are “starting from” figures and can change with season, location and customisation, so check before you book.

Another romantic option is a private AC charter boat for a half-day cruise before the evening celebrations. It's a quiet way to see the coastline away from the crowds.

Things to Do Around Your New Year Celebration

New Year's Eve is one night. Make the most of the other days with these activities:

  • Water Sports: Jet skiing, banana boat rides, parasailing and sea karts are offered from ₹1000 to ₹3500.
  • Snorkelling and Scuba Diving: Snorkel and scuba dive on the shallower reefs of Elephant Beach and North Bay. Structured dives can be undertaken from Havelock.
  • Glass Bottom Boat/Semi Sub: Ideal for the whole family to enjoy or keep dry.
  • A memorable evening at Havelock: A night kayaking experience from ₹3000.
  • History and Nature: The visit to the Cellular Jail, Ross Island, the Baratang Limestone Caves and the Natural Bridge provide a historical and natural dimension to the visit.

Smart Tips For Your Andaman New Year Trip

  • Book early. In the last week of December, flights and ferries are sold out, and so are the resorts.
  • Verify details of an event with the person in charge. Enquire about what activities are to be held on New Year's Eve at your hotel and see if they are part of the price of your room.
  • Keep your ID handy. Checking of ID may occur at checkpoints and for permits.
  • Carry some cash. ATMs are available in Port Blair and Havelock, and on smaller islands there may be connections that are intermittent.
  • Plan buffer time. There may be delays on the ferry, so try not to make it a tight connection on the day of your ferry flight.
  • Respect the rules. Obey demarcated limits in coral and forest areas, and ensure low noise levels in quiet areas and protected areas.
  • Pack light. Most requirements are met by swimwear, sunscreen, a hat, insect repellent and nice footwear.
