Good for: Beach stays Honeymooners Luxury Retreats
Ambiance:   Romantic   Upscale 

Once known as the ‘three coconut island’, this romantic retreat is a haven of relaxation, peace and tranquility surrounded by clear blue waters and covered with tropical plants and coconut palms.

The carefully preserved natural beauty of the island has been sensitively integrated with tastefully appointed accommodations and guest areas to give the resort a stylish yet residential feel. The luxurious Spa, wide variety of cuisine, choice of water sports and diving make the resort a complete destination. Guests are met at the airport and assisted to the docking jetty where the resort’s speedboats are available at all times. The distance from Malé International Airport is covered in approximately 15 minutes. On arrival at the resort, all guests are received and escorted to the ceremonial pavilion leading to the main lobby.

Tropical palms and flowering foliage line up the sandy walkways and access areas. Thatched umbrellas with comfortable chaise lounges are set up at all times for guests to use. Clear sandy beaches frame the island and the clear waters of the lagoon stretch as far as the eye can see. Walking in knee-deep clear aquamarine waters with white sand at your feet is a feeling that can only be experienced at the Taj Exotica, because this is one of the only clear sand lagoons in the Maldives.

The resort continues to win prestigious awards, the most recent being the Maldives leading suites award at the 14th world travel award 2007, Spa finder reader’s choice award 2007 to name a few. The press acclaim focused on the impeccable service, resting on an elevated degree of care and warmth and outstanding food combined with urban chic design.
