SeaScape Port Blair

When travelers arrive in Sri Vijaya Puram, they are often greeted by the warm, salty breeze of the Bay of Bengal. Tucked into the lush greenery of a hillside, SeaScape Port Blair captures that very essence — a relaxed hideaway that feels a world apart yet remains surprisingly central. As a unit of Nanda Hotels and Resorts, the property is recognized as a comfortable three-star hotel where unpretentious hospitality meets practical convenience. From the moment you ascend the gently sloping driveway, you understand that this is not just a place to sleep; it's a vantage point to soak in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands' natural beauty.

What defines a stay at SeaScape Port Blair is the subtle combination of sea views and abundant greenery. Many guests comment that waking up to the scenery here is the perfect prelude to a day of island exploration. The hotel’s location, opposite the Maruti Service Station on Doodhline in Nayagaon, places you near the heartbeat of Port Blair without the constant hum of downtown traffic. Whether you're a solo adventurer mapping out dive sites, a family on a multi-generational holiday, or a couple seeking a coastal retreat, the team curates an experience that balances comfort with authentic local flavor.

Rooms Designed for Comfort and Scenic Views

Guest rooms at SeaScape Port Blair are tailored to meet the needs of modern travelers while celebrating the surroundings. Although the layout is uncomplicated, the thoughtful touches ensure you settle in quickly. Many accommodations offer wide windows or private balconies that frame views of the sea and the rolling green hills beyond. The bed configurations cater to different groups — from a room with a single kingsize bed that works beautifully for couples, to setups that accommodate families or friends traveling together.

In-Room Amenities That Matter

• Climate Control: Every room features efficient air conditioning, essential after a humid day touring Cellular Jail or Corbyn’s Cove Beach.
• Complimentary Wi-Fi: Free wireless internet keeps you connected for planning the next day's itinerary or sharing photos of the historic Japanese bunkers.
• Clean Attached Baths: Hot and cold water are available, with the practical comforts you'd expect from a hotel that has earned a 4.5-star guest rating from over 400 reviews.
• Television and Seating: Select rooms include a sitting area where you can unwind with a cup of locally sourced tea before heading out for the Cellular Jail light and sound show.

Facilities and Services for a Hassle-Free Stay

The amenities at SeaScape Port Blair are curated to remove friction from your vacation. There is a genuine emphasis on value — the hotel offers complimentary early check-in and zero cancellation fees for direct bookings, a policy that resonates with travelers whose plans may shift because of ferry schedules or impromptu island-hopping decisions.

Tour & Travel Desk

Perhaps the most valuable resource is the on-site travel desk. The team can arrange tickets and guided excursions to some of the most iconic destinations in the Andamans:

• Ross & North Bay Island: Private ferry services and snorkeling trips to the fringing coral reefs, with stops at the iconic North Bay lighthouse.
• Havelock & Neil Island: Assistance with booking private ferries like Makruzz, Nautica, or Green Ocean, as well as government ferry applications.
• Water Adventures: Information and reservations for scuba diving, parasailing, dolphin glass-bottom boat rides, and sea walking experiences.

Dining and Practical Amenities

Start your morning with a complimentary breakfast before heading out to Mount Harriet or the Anthropological Museum. For other meals, the in-house restaurant serves a mix of North Indian, South Indian, and some Chinese dishes, with an emphasis on fresh seafood when the catch is good. Additional guest-friendly services include free parking for those who rent scooters, and a team that actively shares honest local tips — like how to time your departure for the 4 AM convoy to Baratang Island or that alligators occasionally sun themselves near Chidiyatapu, so swimming is not advised there.

Exploring the Andaman Islands from Port Blair

Sri Vijaya Puram (formerly Port Blair) is a treasure chest of history, ecology, and adrenaline, and SeaScape Port Blair sits less than ten minutes from Veer Savarkar International Airport. This proximity is a serious advantage — after a short drive, you can drop your bags and be standing on the sands of Corbyn’s Cove Beach within seven minutes. The hotel's practical location means you spend less time commuting and more time experiencing.

Must-Visit Sites Within Easy Reach

• Cellular Jail (Kālā Pānī): Just a ten-minute drive. The evening Sound & Light Show (bookable online) is a deeply moving tribute to India's freedom struggle.
• Ross Island (Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose Island): A fifteen-minute drive to Aberdeen Jetty, followed by a short boat ride that drops you amidst British-era ruins, wandering peacocks, and spotted deer.
• Wandoor Beach & Marine National Park: Around twenty-five kilometers from the airport, this area is a sanctuary for marine life and a quieter alternative to more crowded stretches of sand.
• Chidiyatapu & Munda Pahad: The sunset point and the well-defined trek route offer dramatic views of the coastline meeting dense tropical forest.

Why Guests Choose SeaScape Port Blair Time and Again

Returning visitors and first-time travelers alike point to several consistent strengths. The hotel operates at a price point that feels fair — often around thirty-four to forty-seven euros per night depending on the season — without sacrificing cleanliness or service. Multiple guest mentions highlight the authentic helpfulness of the staff, whether it's arranging a late check-out, packing a simple breakfast for early-morning ferry departures, or guiding guests through the slightly complex process of booking government ferry tickets. A special defense personnel package and a discounted tariff for direct and defense bookings further reflect a deeply community-minded approach.

Little Things That Make a Big Difference

• Market Access: The main shopping center is only about one hundred feet away, making it easy to pick up local spices like cardamom and cinnamon, or Andaman timber souvenirs, without needing transport.
• Real Transparency: The website and staff are upfront about distances, ferry complexities, and island logistics — a quality that saves tourists from common punctuality and planning pitfalls.
• Accessibility: The property is welcoming to guests with mobility considerations, offering accessible features that ensure every traveler can enjoy the hillside setting.

Insider Tips for Island Visitors

Making the most of the Andamans requires a bit of advance planning, and the team at SeaScape Port Blair shares knowledge freely. For Cellular Jail and Ross Island light and sound shows, tickets are purchased through the official tourism website using a valid government ID. Each ticket costs around Rs. 300 per person, with children between five and eleven years paying half. For the Baratang trip to see the limestone caves and mud volcano, guests should arrange a taxi or bus that leaves by 4 AM or 6 AM to meet the convoy at Jirkatang Check Post; two-wheelers are not permitted through the Jarawa tribal reserve. Inside the forest corridor, photography, talking, and offering food to the Jarawa people are strictly prohibited, and the hotel staff knows exactly how to brief you on these rules so your journey is both safe and respectful.

SeaScape Port Blair is more than a three-star hotel — it's a functional basecamp run by people who understand that a great Andaman holiday hinges on reliable information, clean rest after long ferry rides, and a location that puts the entire archipelago within reach. Whether you’re returning from a snorkeling session at North Bay or just finished a sweaty climb up Munda Pahad, the hillside calm and sea-framed windows will be waiting for you.
