11 Lakshadweep Tourism Facts Before You Plan

8. Accommodation realities: limited rooms, basic comforts

Accommodation on Lakshadweep ranges from government guesthouses and small island resorts to limited private homestays on some inhabited islands. Rooms can be simple and geared toward travellers who value the setting more than luxury. Because supply is limited, peak season bookings fill up quickly and mid-range or budget options may sell out months ahead. If you have specific needs—air conditioning, diving equipment storage, or a family room—confirm facilities before you book and don’t assume every island property offers it. Many visitors choose one island as their base and take day trips rather than switching hotels across islands. For realistic budgeting, include transfer costs and any paid activities; some islands have fewer dining choices so meal options may be limited compared with city travel. Clear expectations and early booking will make your stay comfortable and predictable.
