Let's Flee! 10 Resorts To Plan A Vacation At In Andhra Pradesh

If you haven't been to Dindi in East Godavari yet, now is a spectacular time to visit. From backwaters to cycling through the roads flanked with coconut trees and palm trees, Dindi is a treat. We recommend planning your stay at Sterling Palavelli Boutique Resorts. Two reasons why: beach-view rooms and houseboat trips. The resort doesn't just score high on stunning rooms and great coastal cuisine, but also activities such as ATV rides (picture yourself dashing through the coconut trees), ziplining, paddy walks, and good old river trips. 

The Andhra Art & Craft Hotel in Vizag is the world's first handicraft hotel and this will make for a perfect artsy staycation. Themed and created after traditional art forms of Andhra Pradesh, find yourself gawking at Kalamkari artwork or Etikoppaka toys across the rooms and corridors. With more than 70 sculptures and 50 art installations, this hotel also boasts of a private beach. Honestly, we need nothing more. But if you're looking for more, well they've got an outdoor pool, an in-house restaurant that whips delicious Andhra cuisine. 

For excellent reasons, we cannot stop going back to Maredumilli. Tucked in East Godavari, this village is home to waterfalls, jungles, and delicious bamboo chicken. If you're planning a quick trip, we recommend putting yourself up at Vana Vihari Eco Resorts. This resort features budget rooms and it's smacked right in the center of the jungle so you can expect monkeys and doggos knocking at your door. Plus, it's quite close to all the touristy destinations like Jalatarangini, Amruthadhara, and Swarnandhra.

Well, if you're planning a trip to Andhra Pradesh, it's sort of impossible to plan one without visiting Araku Valley. While you are at it, plan your stay at Jungle Bells — a resort that features cottages. From campfires and trekking trails to bird watching trails and pool, this resort scores high on rustic vibes and facilities. A perfect getaway from families, this one is managed by the forest department. This eco-friendly resort is located inside a forest and it's quite close to all destinations. For an awesome experience, you can take a train from Vizag or drive down the ghat roads, if that's what you prefer!

Of all the beaches in Vizag, we have the fondest memories with Bheemli because going to Bheemli meant an elaborate picnic. In the 90s, of course. Thank god, there's a resort now — The Bheemli Resort. And the best part? Everything about it is opulent. From infinity pools and beach-view rooms, if you're planning a getaway with your SO, this one fits the bill. The rooms are mood ambient and there's an in-house restaurant that makes delicious PAN Asian dishes that we cannot stop drooling about. That said, the resort is literally two minutes away from the beach so we're sure you need nothing else. 

Horsley Hills is stunning and it's only 10 hours away from Hyderabad. Plan a quick staycation at Haritha Hill Resort in this hill station and you're literally signing up for panoramic views of the hills. The property has a pool, bar, spa, and an in-house restaurant. You can pick between a bungalow, cottages, or standard rooms. Expect lots of greenery and you can take strolls within the property itself under canopies and spot birds too. 

You can trek through the forests and hills here, so don't forget to pack some sturdy shoes. 

Just a little further from Maredumilli, you'll discover Rampachodavaram — yet another stunning village popular for its farms and waterfalls. Check into Aranya Eco Resorts which offers you riverside camping and great local cuisine. If you're looking for a holiday where all you intend to do is play river volleyball, chill with resident doggos and eat meaty delicacies, this is the place for you. As the river flows through the resort, you can also ask for a campfire right next to it and spend a night under the stars. Perfect to visit with your gang of cousins! 

If you haven't explored Amaravati much, well now you can! Known for its lush greenery and culture — plan your stay at Happy Resorts & Recreations which is a popular venue. The rooms overlook so much greenery that it might hurt your eyes (but in a good way). With an outdoor pool, which again overlooks thick foliage, and an in-house restaurant that is known to make a wide range of Guntur specialty dishes, this holiday is something you deserve. While you are here, don't forget to shop for some Mangalagiri sarees, okay?

Say hello to a less crowded and clean beach at Seabreeze Beach Resorts. At seven hours away from Hyderabad, this resort is located in Chirala, overlooking a beach. The pool itself faces the beach and the lovely cottages have access to the private beach. Sounds like a dream, eh? Also, the town is known for its mind-blowing seafood that we recommend tucking into. In fact, stalls are set-up across the beach — all you've got to do is walk up to one and eat your way to glory. We recommend sunset hours for such plans though! 

Lambasingi is where you'll wake up to misty mornings, take long walks through the fog, and chase beautiful sunsets. Tucked in the Adivasi Village, Lambasingi Resorts offers a true rural stay. Here, you'll get a slice of the tribal culture, their cuisine, and unwind like a pro. With all awesome destinations such as Bojjanakonda, Kothapally Waterfalls, etc closeby, we recommend visiting them in the mornings and chilling in the evenings. Expect a slow holiday where you can bask in the nature and appreciate a sustainable way of living.
