Welcome To Emerald Gecko
We are a budget traveler friendly place that characterizes the word “eco-tourism”. While interacting with many travellers from all across the globe we saw a need for accommodation which suited the conscious budget traveller who not only wanted affordable accommodation but also a bit of comfort and pampering.
​
Emerald Gecko is a place where in addition to taking care of your basic needs (a clean and safe environment) there is a generous heap of gourmet food and fantastic island hospitality.
Accommodation
Our Havelock resorts consist of tastefully decorated rooms constructed using sustainable organic materials by local craftsmen.
Tucked away in the lush greenery of the Andaman Islands, we walk to a slower pace of life. Where the gentle sea breeze and the soft rhythms of the sea are seldom far away. The Emerald Gecko offers an authentic glimpse of village life reminiscent of days gone by. A life full of simple pleasures where you can be one with nature and the best thing to do is ‘Nothing’ at all.
​
Please remember, our resorts are eco-friendly resort and therefore have limited facilities. We also take pride in being environmentally friendly and hence do not have air-conditioning, TV’s, Internet and telephones. We try and reduce the impact tourism causes on our little piece of paradise as much as we can. Therefore our Policy is against surplus usage of resources. Our property is rustic, made with organic material (bamboo mat walls, thatched roof) and open to nature.
