Emerald Gecko

Emerald Gecko in Havelock Island (celebrated among global eco conscious travelers as one of the Andaman archipelago's earliest and most authentic sustainable eco resort retreats, located right on the calm shoreline of Vijaynagar Beach No. 5 under a dense canopy of ancient tropical evergreen trees and towering coconut palms, world famous for its rustic two story bamboo huts / bamboo lodges crafted entirely from locally sourced cane, thatch, and timber, direct access to white sand beaches, tranquil hammock gardens, authentic seafood dining, and a strict low impact environmental ethos that honors island ecology), located at Beach No. 5 in Havelock Island in Andaman and Nicobar, stands as the island's premier authentic eco stay sanctuary.

Designed to offer travelers a genuine castaway experience without modern commercial clutter, Emerald Gecko uses open mesh bamboo ventilation, solar water heating, natural rainwater harvesting, and traditional palm thatch roofs that blend smoothly into the surrounding coastal forest.

It's the home of the rustic two story bamboo lodges with upper level sleeping lofts and private sea facing open decks, the quiet garden pathways winding through lush tropical foliage where kingfishers, green geckos, and hermit crabs roam freely, the tranquil sandy beachfront where guests read in hammocks tied between mahogany trees, the open air wooden dining shack serving home style Andaman fish curries and wood fired flatbreads, and an intensely peaceful, meditative island atmosphere where the gentle rustle of palm fronds and rhythmic ocean waves replace televisions and traffic noise.

It represents a rich Andaman eco tourism tradition, sustainable architectural heritage, and barefoot luxury lifestyle where bamboo eco lodges, Vijaynagar white sands, coastal hammock gardens, and Havelock Island eco tourism unite in Emerald Gecko.

Located at Beach No. 5 (Vijaynagar), it sits 4.5 km south of the Havelock Jetty (Swaraj Dweep Harbour), 9 km east of Radhanagar Beach (Beach No. 7), and 58 km northeast of Port Blair, easily reachable via a 10 minute scooter or auto rickshaw ride along the scenic coastal road.

Traditional Bamboo Lodges & Sustainable Design

Constructed using traditional island building techniques, each eco lodge features natural bamboo slats that allow cool coastal sea breezes to circulate naturally through the living spaces.

The two story bamboo lodges feature open air lower lounges with hammocks and an intimate upper sleeping loft overlooking the sparkling turquoise waters of Vijaynagar Beach.

Truth is, falling asleep to the gentle sound of ocean waves while cool night breezes drift through natural bamboo walls is the ultimate tropical antidote to urban stress.
