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.

The location of this Taj hotel is exceptional - we booked a sunrise over the water villa and the daily dips in the waters of the lagoon were the highlight of the trip. The service was amazing as well. Ahmed was a kind and accommodating man, who even helped arrange a tour guide for us in Malé when we expressed interest in going. Chef Prakash in the main restaurant was also a sweet man who took the time to speak to the guests. We also did the coral reef snorkelling, which was handled phenomenally. The staff were professional and assisted the weaker swimmers so everyone could have a stress-free experience. The only gripe I had with the holiday was the food - there were no Maldivian dishes on any of the menus! A trip to the Maldives felt incomplete without getting to taste any local delicacies, and we instead had to eat relatively mundane Indian/continental food throughout our stay - we instead tried some Maldivian food in Malé and were blown away. A selection of Maldivian foods would have made the stay perfect.
