The rooms

There are 5 rooms at OP Home Stay, with capacity for 10 guests in total. The property has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. The rooms have air conditioning, which becomes genuinely useful from March onwards as temperatures climb. Rooms have a television.

Meals and what is included

Rates at OP Home Stay include meals, which is the normal arrangement across Lakshadweep — there are very few independent restaurants, so properties cook for their guests. All three meals — breakfast, lunch and dinner — are included in the rate. Food here means same-day fish, coconut and rice, with vegetables arriving by boat from the mainland. Flag any dietary requirement at the time of booking — kitchens are small and cannot source ingredients at short notice.

Amenities

There is internet access, though data speeds across Lakshadweep are slow by mainland standards and BSNL has the most consistent coverage. Parking is available on the premises. The property is set up for families with children.

Where it is

OP Home Stay is at Airport Road, Agatti. Agatti is a narrow strip of coral land about six kilometres long, wrapped in one of the clearest lagoons in India, and it is the only island in Lakshadweep with an airstrip.

The lagoon runs along the western side of the island and is shallow enough to wade far out in calm weather. Snorkelling straight from the beach is possible in several places, and boat trips to Bangaram and Thinnakara are arranged locally — though every island you visit must be named on your entry permit.

Getting to OP Home Stay

Direct flights land at Agatti from Kochi, Goa and Bangalore. Nothing on the island is far from the airstrip, so arrival is straightforward once you are down.

Lakshadweep requires an entry permit from every visitor, children and infants included. Much of what is written online about this is out of date — there is no longer any police clearance certificate, sponsorship or ticket requirement. An ID card and a photograph for each passenger is all that is asked. Permits are handled for guests booking through us.

Who this suits

At ₹4,000 a night this is one of the more affordable stays on Agatti, and it suits travellers who would rather spend their budget on getting to Lakshadweep than on the room. It is a room-based stay rather than a beachfront cottage, so it works well for travellers who plan to be out on the water most of the day and want somewhere comfortable to return to. Children are well catered for, and the shallow lagoons make Lakshadweep an unusually easy destination for young families.

Good to know

• Alcohol is prohibited on the inhabited islands of Lakshadweep.
• Come between December and March for the weather, or in April and May if diving is the priority.
• Modest dress is expected once you leave the sand. It is noticed, and appreciated.
• Cash is important here: machines are few and unreliable, and card payment is not widely accepted.
• Use reef-safe sunscreen only. Oxybenzone and octinoxate harm the coral you have travelled to see.
