Escape the frenetic pace and chaos of everyday life, in to luxury’s very own lap at Taj Exotica Resort & Spa, Maldives. Away from the sparkling lights of Male, this hotel is spread across the Emboodhu Finolhu island in the middle of one of the largest lagoons in Maldives. Renowned for its rich flora and fauna, this tropical isle, also known as the Three Coconut Isle, is situated amidst the coral reefs. A 15-minute speedboat ride from the airport brings you to the idyllic resort surrounded by the azure waters of the Indian Ocean. Set delicately over the lagoon, this postcard-perfect getaway offers 64 sea-view villas and suites that are luxurious and lavish; yet maintain a fine balance with nature. The world-famous, award-winning presidential suite is, arguably, the most beautiful place on earth.

Very old and outdated. Way too expensive for the quality of stay.

A heartfelt thank you to Abnash (CGM) for the warm leadership and hospitality. Special appreciation to Sajid from Reservations for arranging our booking at the last minute so smoothly—it meant a lot to us. The service at 24 Degrees was exceptional, thanks to Riyaz, Nusaad, Shahjahan, Ashish Kumar (Chef), Azam, Riyaan, Aloo, and the IVD team including Ismail, Muniz, and Mosa for their attentive and friendly service. The poolside team made our days even more relaxing and enjoyable—thank you to Chef Devidas, Arun, Taslim, and Battey for their outstanding care and hospitality. At the front office Duty Manger Jinan, Manika, Yuri, and Elena were always welcoming and helpful making every interaction pleasant. A very special mention to our butlers Ahmed, Adam and Alif who made our stay seamless and gave us a warm and memorable farewell. Every single team member contributed to making our stay unforgettable.

I recently stayed at Taj Exotica Resort & Spa Maldives for two nights with my friends, and it was truly a fantastic and unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, everything felt simply perfect. We were warmly welcomed by our host Ahmed, whose genuine hospitality set the tone for our entire stay. He graciously showed us around the resort, and the beautiful welcome drink served in a coconut shell was such a unique and charming touch. He then escorted us to our Water Villa with Pool (Room 408), and we were absolutely mesmerized. The room was stunning—elegant, serene, and thoughtfully designed for a luxurious escape. The welcome amenities, including fresh fruits, sweets, and beverages, were a delightful surprise and made us feel truly special. Our spa visit was incredibly relaxing, with a team that was warm and attentive throughout. A special thanks to Benny, who showed us around with such kindness and a lovely smile. Dining at 24 Degrees was another highlight of our stay. Chef Jayant went above and beyond to assist me with vegetarian options, and every dish was exceptional. The entire F&B team—Riyaz, Nusaad, Shahjahan, Chef Ashish Kumar, Azam, Riyaan, and Aloo—provided outstanding service with genuine warmth. One of the most memorable moments was our floating breakfast, beautifully arranged by the IVD team—Ismail, Muniz, and Mosa. It was not only delicious but also a truly indulgent and picture-perfect experience. We also had the pleasure of meeting the poolside team—Chef Devidas, Arun, Taslim, and Battay—who were all friendly, attentive, and made our time even more enjoyable. A very special moment was meeting the General Manager, Mr. Abnash Kumar. His warm and welcoming nature truly stood out, and his kind gesture of offering us pizza added such a personal touch to our stay. We would also like to sincerely appreciate the gardeners and housekeeping team—Haneef, Sohag, Maaiz, Mainudhin, and Ali—as well as Housekeeping Executives Surbhi and Daksh, for their kindness and continuous support. Breakfast at 24 Degrees the next morning was delightful, with a wide variety of delicious options. It was also a pleasure meeting the Director of HR, Mr. Srinivasan, who personally greeted guests and made us feel very welcome. Our departure experience was smooth and beautifully handled, thanks to Jinan, Manika, Yuri, Elena, Ahmed, Alif, and Adam, who ensured everything was seamless until the very end. A heartfelt thank you to Mr. Sajid for assisting us with a last-minute booking and making everything so easy for us. This was not just a stay—it was a collection of beautiful moments, heartfelt hospitality, and unforgettable memories. Thank you to the entire team at Taj Exotica Maldives for making our experience so special. We truly look forward to visiting again.

The hotel is a pearl, literally a paradise on earth. Best seaside water and snorkeling experience. People super kind, service supreme. My fiancé and I had the best possible experience as a couple. Notable mention to Simo butler and Sammy the photographer and all the diving team and the restaurant team. 24 degrees restaurant: Asian food at the seaside. The team was fantastic, especially Shahajam but everybody from the manager to all the team. They made our stay unique
