5-Star Hotels/Beach View Hotels in Vizag (Visakhapatnam): Complete Guide for Tourists and Travellers
Visakhapatnam, popularly known as Vizag, is one of the most visited coastal cities in Andhra Pradesh. The city is known for its beaches, hills, museums, viewpoints and long coastline along the Bay of Bengal.
If you are planning a trip to Vizag and looking for a 5-star hotel, the location of the hotel can make a difference to your travel plans. Some 5-star hotels are located directly along Beach Road, while others are closer to Rushikonda, Bheemili or the central city.
This guide provides an updated list of the major 5-star hotels and resorts currently operating in Vizag as of September 2026, along with their locations and information that can help tourists and travellers choose an area to stay.
How Many 5-Star Hotels Are There in Vizag?
As of September 2026, there are six currently operating 5-star hotels and resorts that are generally included among Vizag's luxury hotel properties.
The list includes:
-
Novotel Visakhapatnam Varun Beach – Beach Road, Maharanipeta
-
Radisson Blu Resort Visakhapatnam – Rushikonda Beach Road, Yendada
-
The Park Visakhapatnam – Beach Road, Pedda Waltair
-
Welcomhotel by ITC Hotels, Devee Grand Bay – Beach Road, Maharanipeta
-
Four Points by Sheraton Visakhapatnam – Waltair Main Road, Uplands
-
The Bheemli Resort – Managed by AccorHotels – Bheemili Beach Road, Bheemunipatnam
These hotels are located in different parts of Visakhapatnam. If your main purpose is to spend time around RK Beach and the central coastal attractions, Beach Road hotels may be more convenient. If you want a resort-style stay near Rushikonda or Bheemili, the northern coastal properties may be more suitable.
It is also worth noting that not every 5-star hotel in Vizag is directly on the beach. Some are located close to the coast but are situated inland.
Novotel Visakhapatnam Varun Beach
Novotel Visakhapatnam Varun Beach is located on Beach Road in Maharanipeta and is one of the main 5-star hotels in central Vizag.
The hotel overlooks the Bay of Bengal and is close to several popular tourist attractions, including RK Beach, the INS Kurusura Submarine Museum and the TU-142 Aircraft Museum.
The property has rooms and suites, including room categories with ocean views. Facilities include a swimming pool, fitness facilities, children's facilities and dining areas.

For travellers arriving by air, it is important to note that commercial flight operations moved to Alluri Sitarama Raju International Airport at Bhogapuram in August 2026. Therefore, older hotel guides that mention Visakhapatnam Airport at Madhurawada may now contain outdated information.
Radisson Blu Resort Visakhapatnam
Radisson Blu Resort Visakhapatnam is located in the Rushikonda and Yendada area, north of central Vizag.
Unlike the hotels around central Beach Road, this property has more of a resort setting and is located close to Rushikonda Beach. It can be convenient for visitors who want to spend more time around Rushikonda and the northern coastal part of Visakhapatnam.
The resort has rooms with garden and ocean views, along with facilities such as an outdoor swimming pool, fitness facilities, spa and wellness services and dining options.
Location: Rushikonda Beach Road, Yendada, Visakhapatnam – 530045
Swimming Pool: Yes
Contact: +91 891 667 7666
If your sightseeing plans mainly include RK Beach, the Submarine Museum and the central Beach Road area, remember that Rushikonda is farther north, so daily travel time can be different from staying in central Vizag.
The Park Visakhapatnam
The Park Visakhapatnam is located on Beach Road in the Pedda Waltair area.
Its coastal location provides convenient access to the central beach areas of Vizag. The hotel is also within the broader Beach Road area used by visitors travelling between RK Beach, Kailasagiri and other coastal attractions.
The hotel offers rooms and suites along with restaurants, event spaces and leisure facilities. It also has a swimming pool.
Location: Beach Road, Pedda Waltair, Visakhapatnam – 530023
Swimming Pool: Yes

Four Points by Sheraton Visakhapatnam
Four Points by Sheraton Visakhapatnam is located on Waltair Main Road in the Uplands area.

If being directly on the beach is important to you, this distinction is worth considering when comparing it with hotels on Beach Road.
The Bheemli Resort – Managed by AccorHotels
The Bheemli Resort is located on Bheemili Beach Road in Bheemunipatnam, north of central Visakhapatnam.
It is a separate property from Novotel Visakhapatnam Varun Beach. The resort is located in the Bheemili coastal area and is suitable for visitors who want to stay farther away from central Vizag.
The resort has sea-facing rooms with balconies. Facilities include an infinity rooftop swimming pool, children's facilities, gym, spa facilities and dining options.
Location: Bheemili Beach Road, Bheemunipatnam, Visakhapatnam – 531163
Swimming Pool: Yes
Contact: +91 891 305 0800
Because Bheemili is north of the main city, travellers should consider the distance from central attractions when planning their itinerary.
5-Star Hotels Near RK Beach and Beach Road
If you are specifically searching for a 5-star hotel around RK Beach and central Beach Road, the main options are:
-
Novotel Visakhapatnam Varun Beach
-
The Park Visakhapatnam
-
Welcomhotel by ITC Hotels, Devee Grand Bay
Four Points by Sheraton Visakhapatnam is also relatively close to RK Beach, but it is located in Uplands rather than directly on Beach Road.
For visitors whose main sightseeing plans include RK Beach, the Submarine Museum, TU-142 Aircraft Museum and other attractions along the central coastline, staying in or around Beach Road can reduce daily travel.
5-Star Hotels Near Rushikonda Beach
Radisson Blu Resort Visakhapatnam is the major 5-star resort located in the Rushikonda area.
Rushikonda is north of central Vizag and is known for its beach and coastal surroundings. Staying in this area can be convenient if your itinerary includes Rushikonda, Yendada and other northern parts of the city.
However, visitors planning to spend most of their time around RK Beach and central Beach Road should consider the additional travel distance.
5-Star Hotels Near Kailasagiri
Kailasagiri is one of the well-known hilltop tourist attractions in Visakhapatnam, offering views of the coastline and surrounding city.
There are several 5-star hotels within the wider area around Kailasagiri, including:
-
The Park Visakhapatnam
-
Novotel Visakhapatnam Varun Beach
-
Radisson Blu Resort Visakhapatnam
-
Four Points by Sheraton Visakhapatnam
None of these hotels should be described as being directly at the Kailasagiri hilltop. Actual driving distance and travel time will depend on the route and traffic conditions.
5-Star Hotels Near Vizag Cricket Stadium
The ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium is located in the PM Palem area in northern Visakhapatnam.
For visitors coming to Vizag for a cricket match or another event at the stadium, Radisson Blu Resort Visakhapatnam is one of the 5-star accommodation options in the northern part of the city.
Other 5-star hotels are located farther south, around Beach Road and central Visakhapatnam.
Travel time can vary considerably during major cricket matches because of traffic around PM Palem and the stadium.
What Happened to The Gateway Hotel in Vizag?
Older articles about 5-star hotels in Vizag may mention The Gateway Hotel Beach Road, Visakhapatnam, which was associated with the Taj group.
The property is no longer operating as a hotel and should not be included in a current list of active 5-star hotels.
Older tourism documents can still contain the name because they were published when the hotel was operating. Therefore, visitors researching hotels online may come across outdated information.
For a current hotel search, it is better to check the operating status and current name of a property before making travel plans.
Which Area Is Better for Your Vizag Trip?
The right location depends on the places you plan to visit.
Beach Road / Maharanipeta
This area is convenient for visitors who want to stay close to RK Beach and central coastal attractions.
Hotels in this area include:
-
Novotel Visakhapatnam Varun Beach
-
Welcomhotel by ITC Hotels, Devee Grand Bay
Pedda Waltair
Pedda Waltair is also along the coastal side of the city and provides access to Beach Road and central Vizag.
The Park Visakhapatnam is located in this area.
Uplands
Uplands is an inland central location.
Four Points by Sheraton Visakhapatnam is located here and is relatively close to RK Beach, although it is not a beachfront hotel.
Rushikonda / Yendada
This area is north of central Vizag and is closer to Rushikonda Beach and several northern coastal attractions.
Radisson Blu Resort Visakhapatnam is located here.
Bheemili / Bheemunipatnam
Bheemili is farther north and provides a different coastal setting from central Vizag.
The Bheemli Resort is located here and can be considered by travellers who want to stay around Bheemili rather than in central Visakhapatnam.
One Important Point About Sea-View Rooms
If you are specifically looking for a hotel with a sea view in Vizag, do not assume that every room in a beachfront or coastal hotel will have an unobstructed view of the Bay of Bengal.
Hotels normally have different room categories. Some rooms may face the sea, while others may face the city, garden, pool or another part of the property.
When booking, check the specific room category if an ocean or sea view is important to you.
Also remember that a hotel being described as "near the beach" is different from being directly on the beachfront.
For tourists visiting Vizag for the first time, the location of the hotel can be just as important as the hotel category. Beach Road, Rushikonda and Bheemili offer different experiences, and choosing between them mainly depends on your sightseeing plans, transportation and how much time you want to spend along the central coastline.
