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.

Taj Exotica Maldives has given us one of the most find memories of our lifetime. The location, the Villa, the staff and their warmth everything was perfect. My son calls Taj Exotica as his second home. Our host Nadeem didn't leave any stone unturned to make our stay even more comfortable. My son got very find of Nadeem. He always answered everything with a warm smile. Next I think our house keeping person Manuddin took great care of our villa upkeep by keeping it clean and tidy twice a day that also with a big smile. Our restaurant manager Rabeem was always available to make our breakfast the best meal of the day. All our requests we taken care off by them with care and love. Thanks a lot. Nonetheless everyone was very nice, the staff at photo studio, at the boat and at the reception especially Ellena who played treasure hunt with my son. Thanks Taj Exotica

Great place..beautifully mindblowing location..lovely people who took good care amd made the stay even more memorable. The lagoon was the most amazing part which went on for miles, fabulously done resort..very helpful staff who were there to support and help at every point. Payel was a superb hostess, Daksh from housekeeping really made our rooms magical everytime, wonderful lifeguards..always willing to help and spotted sealife and guuded us around the lagoon, the staff at 24 degrees with Rabeem was amazing..all of this made our stay extra special. Payel made us experience both the overwater villa with pool and then the upgraded sunset beach villa with the pool ensuring our experince was made absolutely magical.

This is my second visit to your property. We were greeted and escorted to the speed boat and just before arrival at your property we saw a pod of dolphins play and that set the tone for the entire trip. We were assigned Mr. Nadeem from Taj exotica for the whole trip and he was wonderful throughout, whether it was about making us comfortable or explaining the property or being at our service at Times when we didn’t even know that he could have been of help, he was there. He explained about the various activities that we could indulge in. Even though he had to manage other Vilas when the property was completely full, it felt like he was there whenever we wanted him. He even addressed the needs of my little daughter and made her experience magical by helping her sight a turtle, and Nemo fish in your property. The lifeguard was also very helpful and kept our safety at prime focus. If something bothered us, it was the management style of handling the guests in the restaurants. In the name of food wastage after spending so much of money, which is one of the highest in any Taj properties portions and the way the set menu is designed is pathetic. It looks like the hotel is doing a favour by providing the food. Even if anyone goes to a two star hotel, even there, breakfast is a buffet where people are allowed to eat whatever they want from the spread provided to them when I visited you earlier, you did not have this deplorable system. During my visit, there was a free Christmas brunch at one of your restaurants, but even there not everyone was made a part of it. Only people who got to know about it were given the free brunch and there was no poster to inform all the guests in fact, even the restaurant staff denied the brunch when we walked in stating that the time was up. When, in fact, there was an hour for it to get over this kind of handling kills the overall experience of Tajness that you all define to be the epitome of service. I did speak to your duty manager, the second morning and he handed my disgust in a calm and proper manner. He did tell me that we could take whatever we wanted and that we can get all the service at the restaurants as we wanted, he did take extra care about our needs, but it is difficult and also not in my habit to ask for a change of rules at the restaurant, so we stuck to the set menu in the way it was designed for all the guests. All of this treatment was being given at the restaurant, even when the hotel was completely booked. Apart from this unpleasant and unwelcoming, feeling at your 24° Restaurant, everything else was joyfull experience. We would definitely recommended to our friends and plan to visit you all in a few months. If my feedback does resonate with the same given by other guest, please consider this stupidity which is happening at the restaurants and change it because when we or any other guest comes to Maldives, they want to be pampered and made to feel like they are really important. The policy changes that you made in the name of food wastage may not reduce your client especially for people who want authentic Indian food, but will always leave a bad taste for the overall experience of Taj properties worldwide.

We went there for our honeymoon our stay was comfortable also we required pure jain food during our entire stay which was made possible by Chef Ashish who recommend us many dishes and even made all arrangements for pure jain food and even the staff was polite and helpful to us. Talking about our first ever experience at Taj Maldives was overall average and not upto the expectations of what we had about how we have that in Mumbai. The hospitality towards the customer, the property management it could be done even better and could be made upto the Taj Level. Overall everything was good but there was less entertainment for us. Pool and restaurant was nice and it can be even better.
