Overview & History
Radisson Blu Resort Visakhapatnam is a beachfront resort set on the Rushikonda stretch of coast, north of the main city. Operated under the Radisson Blu brand, it is positioned as a leisure-led property with a strong sea-facing character, while still serving business guests visiting the nearby IT corridor. With 99 rooms, suites and villas, it is more intimate in scale than the large city convention hotels, which suits its resort positioning above Rushikonda Beach. The smaller footprint allows a calmer, more personal feel than the busy hotels in the city centre, and the resort leans into its coastal location with sea-view accommodation, an infinity pool and outdoor dining. For visitors who want a resort experience without leaving the Visakhapatnam district, it is one of the more established options.
Location & Getting There
The resort sits on Rushikonda Beach Road in Yendada, roughly 1 km from Rushikonda Beach itself and close to Kailasagiri and the Rushikonda IT SEZ. This puts it within easy reach of the technology parks that draw a steady stream of corporate visitors, which is part of why the resort manages to balance leisure and business custom. Visakhapatnam Railway Station is about 13.5 km away, and Visakhapatnam International Airport (VTZ) is around 21 km away, typically a 45-minute drive. As Visakhapatnam has no metro, guests rely on taxis and hotel transfers to get around. The route into the city follows the coast, making the transfer itself reasonably scenic.
Rooms & Suites
Rooms are designed in a contemporary style and come with rain showers, a welcome drink and a choice of views over the Bay of Bengal or the resort garden. Categories run from Superior and Premium rooms through to suites and standalone villas, the last of these offering extra privacy on the grounds. Sea-facing rooms are the natural draw here, given the resort's elevated coastal setting, and most guests choosing the resort over a city hotel do so for exactly that outlook. Across the seven room and villa types, the fittings are modern and the emphasis is on comfort and views rather than ornate decor, with free Wi-Fi standard throughout.
Dining
Dining centres on three outlets. 365 is the all-day restaurant, serving international cuisine with live cooking stations and ocean views, and is the main venue for buffets and breakfast. Ethnic specialises in Andhra and regional Indian food, with a particular emphasis on the seafood the region is known for, making it a good place to try local specialities. Upper Deck works as a bar in the evening and a cafe during the day. The line-up is compact but covers buffet meals, regional specialities and relaxed drinks, and the sea-facing aspect of the restaurants is a consistent theme across the resort's dining.
Amenities & Facilities
The resort's infinity pool and spa are its leisure highlights, complemented by a fitness centre and free Wi-Fi throughout. The beachfront setting, pool and spa together make it a place to unwind rather than simply a base for work, and the relatively small room count keeps the atmosphere calmer than the larger hotels in town. The spa offers a range of treatments for guests looking to slow down, while the pool's clifftop-style position above the coast is among the resort's most photographed features. Round-the-clock room service and the usual five-star comforts round out the offering.
Meetings, Weddings & Events
While smaller than the city's dedicated convention hotels, the resort offers banquet and meeting spaces suitable for corporate gatherings, intimate weddings and social functions. The sea-facing grounds are a particular draw for couples wanting a coastal backdrop, and the resort's scale lends itself to more boutique events rather than very large gatherings. For a destination wedding or a smaller corporate retreat that values setting over sheer capacity, the Rushikonda location is a strong argument in the resort's favour.
The Neighbourhood
Rushikonda is one of the most scenic parts of the Visakhapatnam coastline, known for its beach, hill views and the nearby Thotlakonda Buddhist heritage site. Kailasagiri's hilltop park and ropeway are a short drive away, and the IT parks of the Rushikonda SEZ are close enough to make the resort convenient for business visitors. The main city and Beach Road attractions lie further south, around 13 to 15 km away. The stretch of coast around the resort is quieter and greener than the central seafront, which is much of its appeal for leisure guests.
Who It's Best For
This resort suits couples and families after a beachfront break, leisure travellers who want a pool-and-spa stay, and business guests visiting the Rushikonda IT corridor who prefer a resort to a city hotel. Those who need to be in the heart of the city, or who want very large event space, may find a Beach Road property more convenient. For a coastal stay with sea views and a calmer pace, within easy reach of both the airport and the tech parks, the resort is well placed.
