Home » 6 Reasons Andaman Is The Ideal Work-From-Beach Destination

Are you tired of seeing all these work-from-hills pics in your Insta feed because you swear by the beach? Well, it’s time to plan a work-from-beach trip to the Andaman Islands. Here are 6 reasons why destinations like Havelock Island and Port Blair are the ideal work-from-island locations to make the most of telecommuting right now –

1. Network Connectivity

Both Havelock Island and Port Blair have Internet connectivity in place at cafes, homestays and hotels for you to be able to work remotely, while also enjoying the perks of the quintessential island life. Yes, this wasn’t the cafe a few years ago. But, things have changed and these pristine islands are now equipped for telecommuters looking to make the most of the pandemic. Let’s face it, right now many offices are letting employees work out of anywhere. Eventually, they won’t. So, don’t let this opportunity go to waste.

2. Good For Your Well-Being

Working from the tranquil beaches of the Andaman Islands will prove excellent for both your physical and mental well-being. Not only will you gain access to fresh seafood, plenty of sunlight and fresh air, working from the beach may even reduce your blood pressure. When you wake up early to see the most breathtaking sunrises, you’ll get a head start on all your work deliverables, wrapping up early to create time for other activities that mean something to you. And, of course, the thought of catching dreamy sunsets will probably speed up your pace, too!

3. Boost In Productivity & Creativity

Compared to destinations like Goa, which are overcrowded, the Andaman Islands offer more space and privacy to be able to focus on work when required, and socialize when it’s convenient. When you do interact with others, you’ll open your mind to new perspectives when interacting with other fellow travellers and digital nomads. When you’re feeling burnt out and need to clear your head, simply take a long walk at the beach, take a dip in the ocean, or go for a quick nature trail. You’ll notice your creativity surge like never before when you’re in a new environment.

4. Best Zoom Backdrops

Team Zoom calls are bound to be more interesting when everyone sees you logging from the most gorgeous backdrops. Plus, tedious work tasks will be easier to get through with a pretty view, right?

5. Family-Friendly

The Andaman Islands are full of accommodation options also suitable for children, in case your main concern is the logistics of a workation with kids. Let your kids study-from-beach while you’re working. It’ll be a unique experience you all will treasure in the future, and it’ll offer many opportunities for bonding through travel.

6. Budget-Friendly

In case you’re on a budget, the Andaman Islands are a great place for workations with many airbnb options that are affordable for long-stays. Some accommodations even come with shared kitchen access. You might be surprised with how minimal your overall monthly cost-of-living is on the island.

We’re all going through an unprecedented time, so it makes sense to indulge in brand new experiences. Take your laptop to the Andaman and experience a beachy workation that is rejuvenating, productive and meaningful.
