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.

One of the best and expansive lagoons in Maldives. Great rooms, food and overall ambiance. Nadheem was especially helpful and attentive.

Our stay at Taj Maldives was truly exceptional, and we would like to extend our heartfelt appreciation to the entire team for making our holiday so memorable. A special mention goes to Adam, our host, who took care of every little detail with such warmth and professionalism. His prompt assistance, thoughtful recommendations, and constant check-ins ensured that we always felt comfortable and well looked after. Adam truly elevated our experience with his impeccable hospitality. We would also like to sincerely thank the F&B team. Every meal was beautifully prepared, the service was outstanding, and the staff greeted us with genuine smiles every single time. Their attention to our preferences and the effort they put into creating delightful dining moments added so much joy to our stay. Thank you, Taj Maldives, for delivering an experience beyond expectations. We look forward to returning soon.

A Truly Restorative and Beautiful Stay, Elevated by Exceptional Service from Our Butler, Nadeem ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Overall Rating From the moment our trip began - despite unforeseen and unprecedented airline delays on Indigo - Taj Exotica demonstrated what world-class hospitality feels like. The team remained in consistent contact with us during prolonged flight and IndiGo disruptions, and ensured our speedboat transfer was waiting comfortably once we finally landed. Upon arrival at 3am, our original reservation had been unintentionally removed, but the team reinstated it swiftly and without stress on our end. We were then upgraded through Amex FHR to an overwater villa, which was already stunning in both layout and ocean access. When we expressed a few privacy concerns on the first day, our butler Nadeem not only listened with genuine attentiveness but proactively moved us to one of the premium villas. It was easily one of the best accommodations we’ve stayed in anywhere in the world - panoramic lagoon views, total privacy, warm pool, and beautifully considered interior finishes. The island itself is serene and visually pristine: clear white sand, calm lagoon waters, and a sense of stillness that allows you to truly disconnect. We spent most of our days between swimming, lounging, and enjoying the quiet luxury Taj is known for. A special highlight was renting Seabobs for 30 minutes, highly recommended. It felt like the perfect balance between jet-ski speed and snorkeling freedom, truly a memorable experience. As for dining, breakfast was consistently enjoyable, and the fresh fruit platters and beverages were lovely. The Indian dishes were notably the strongest, and if you arrive with high expectations regarding culinary variety, I would recommend considering half-board and prioritizing Indian cuisine selections. While the food did not quite match the level of the villas and service in terms of wow-factor, the broader experience more than compensated for it. Unfortunately, rain on our final evening meant the sunset cruise could not operate, though safety always comes first. Taj still made the evening feel cozy and restful, which aligned with the quiet, restorative energy we had hoped for. Our checkout has already been smoothly coordinated, and transfers for tomorrow are confirmed. Throughout our stay, communication has been seamless and stress-free despite shifting weather and airline complications. Special Recognition Nadeem, our butler, deserves sincere appreciation. His warmth, attentiveness, follow-through, and thoughtful problem-solving truly defined our experience. For two professionals looking for restorative downtime after a demanding year, he made everything feel both effortless and personalized. His service alone is reason enough for us to return.
