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.

We had the most wonderful 4-night stay at Taj Exotica Maldives. The property is absolutely breathtaking, with stunning views all around and a serene, luxurious vibe that makes it truly special. What made our experience even more memorable was the exceptional service. A special mention to Alaau, who was the best waiter—always attentive and warm. Chef Ashish went above and beyond by personally curating delicious vegetarian Indian dishes exactly to our taste, which we truly appreciated. Chef Jayant made our mornings perfect with breakfasts tailored just the way we like them. Sharjahan also took such great care of us with his impeccable service and attention to detail. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience, and we cannot wait to return! 💙✨

After staying at the Taj residences in Dehli, Mumbai and Chennai during the last couple of years, we were expecting high standards from this stay. While we thoroughly enjoyed the setting and facilities at the Exotica, we were really disappointed by the lack of care taken regarding our allergy requirements and the response we were met with given several near misses. My partner has a severe nut and sesame allergy, which was made clear on the initial booking and to all staff at the hotel (host, reception and all restaurant staff). On arrival to our room we had a welcome treat containing nuts. We were told this would be replaced with a nut free alternative but it never arrived. Our first evening at the restaurant was a disappointing and concerning experience. After reminding waiting staff and the manager of the allergies, they brought out a dish containing visible sesame seeds. Luckily we spotted the sesame and raised it to staff, who took the dish away and came back, stating it was actually garlic. After requesting to speak to the manager, he admitted it was in fact sesame. Despite the head chef returning the dish without the side salad and the restaurant eventually admitting their mistake, there was no apology or awareness of the seriousness. On our second day we were then served bread with sesame, again after reminded staff of the allergies. This experience really soured our special holiday after going in with high expectations from the Taj hotel chain and will make us think again before booking with Taj hotels again.
