Taj Exotica Resort

About Taj Exotica Resort

Escape everyday life and lose yourself in sprawling beachside luxury.

A tropical addition to the renowned Taj family, the Exotica Resort is 46 acres of unencumbered luxury on Havelock Island. Not only does the resort sit upon the famously beautiful Radhangar Beach, it’s also surrounded by coconut trees, mangrove forests and orchards bursting with mangoes, mud apples and mulberries - heaven! You’ll find everything you need for a blissful beach getaway, with 54 ritzy villas to choose from, three delicious restaurants and an Olympic-size infinity pool. And whilst the resort might be big, its footprint is small: not one tree was cut down during construction, it’s partially solar powered, there’s an onsite bottling plant, and a reservoir to collect rainwater too.

Property details

The property

The Taj Exotica is a resort that not only complements the natural surroundings, but enhances them. Whilst here, you'll feel enveloped by the forests and embraced by the sea; everything is perfectly harmonious with the outside, and the simple but luxurious decor hits exactly the right note. And, as well as natural wonders, you'll enjoy some manmade ones too: there are three restaurants, all of which make the most of the incredible local ingredients on the island, and the Jiva Spa will feed a different part of your soul...

The rooms

The Villas are perfectly in-keeping with the property's beautifully-crafted aesthetic. Think plenty of flowing, natural textiles, King-size four posters, bathtubs that afford their occupants a view of the surrounding leafy canopies, and relaxing rain showers. If you're looking to up your experience further still, the Grand Luxury Villas feature a second bedroom, private pool, mini library and your very own cocktail bar.

Activities

The Taj Exotica Resort might be perfect for those looking to embrace relaxed, beach life, but there's also lots on offer if you're looking for a couple more thrills and spills. Enjoy guided forest hikes, scuba diving, snorkelling, kayaking and even deep-sea fishing. There's a host of activities to keep young explorers entertained too; pre-scuba lessons, mini treks, beach picnics (adults might enjoy those too!), shell-craft and art lessons, and so much more.

Why we love it

Diving the gin-clear waters, exploring with an experienced naturalist, umbrella-ed cocktails at sundown... there's no shortage of things to fall in love with.

Insiders Tip

Arrange a nighttime kayak through the mangroves. If you're lucky, the waters will light up around you with luminous bioluminescence-phytoplankton. Magical.

Something to think about

This certainly isn't a small, boutique property by any means, and some of the trappings might feel a little un-personal.
