Taj Exotica Resort & Spa, Maldives

You have to see this place to believe it. Some of the most amazing beaches, top notch water sports, beautiful rooms, amazing staff. One of the best hotels you would have stayed, and if you love water, here you are surrounded by it. We currently staying at the property room number 410, and trust me it doesn't get better then this. Come here if you need a life recharge and these guys will deliver a 100 percent full charge. It's the best Taj property we been to so far, and we ve been to alot of Taj.

I have an excellent experience at here,especially the 24-degree team(Nijn, Hassan, Ismaic ,Riyaz,Ismaic,Mhelen and Irfan). Thanks a a lot that they give our the best service. I was impressed a lot. I will miss you guys, my friends. This island is very beautiful. Hopefully, I can take my family to come here again.

The staff were amazing Our Butler, Ms. Payel Sengupta had a broad and welcoming smile and even saw us off with a large sign. She was so warm! MHelen in the restaurant, she was incredible too, she made sure we had a great cook and dine experience.. and she was so warm and pleasant... Chefs Priyanka and Rajesh were friendly and really nice and made us really tasty food with a smile. They were so nice. The food was exquisite, almost everything was good. Very tasty, just expensive, for us. The rooms were clean and adequately sized. However the toilets were older and need some refurbishment. The showers were strong and had hot water all the time. There weren't any moisturisers or razors though. The manager, Ms. Corrine was nice enough The dive center staff were also good and we found the snorkel with sharks and scuba experience really good. Mr Ali Wassem,their point man at the airport, picked us up and dropped us off, and he stayed with us ALL the way, to check in and even to immigration. I had stayed at a slightly more upmarket Huvafenfushi 6 years ago and we didn't have anywhere this level of service ! Cons: The resort is too close to Male. Too many planes fly over, I'd have preferred a more isolated location. They have an awful morning and evening , smelly and noisy fogging sessions with chemicals that smell like petrol and these penetrate the closed villas, even when the doors are closed They do it at 0530 and evening, and this woke me up 3 mornings , I really wish they'd use some herbs or incense instead. The pool is quite small and is salt water instead of fresh. The poolside restaurant has a great pizza oven, but very mediocre dough... I expected a lot more. The gym had only one working treadmill, and the other was out of order for all of our 4 day stay.

Hassan from 24 degre restaurant was very wonderful people, let us enjoy very good quality service at 24 Degrees restaurant, including all the staff of the restaurant made us feel very comfortable, the food here also made us unforgettable, this is a forever memory, looking forward to us coming down to Taj Island

This hotel is amazing. Super spacious overwater bungalows and the private pool was amazing. Beds were very comfortable with great soft pillows. The food delicious even though a bit pricey but you are on a private island in the Maldives so I kinda understand. It was a magical place though. Very accommodating, and very nice staff.

This was our 2nd time to visit Taj Exotica Resort and Spa. It was just as unforgettable and amazing as the first one, if not better. The personal touches from all of the staff were incredible and highly appreciated. You really feel special and cared for. I'm amazed at how pleasant, helpful, and sweet everyone is. I was very happy to see our butler Pratha again, she is just an amazing human being and wanted to make sure that we had the best time and experience. She anticipated our needs, remembered our personal preferences, and was very flexible with our sudden plan changes throughout the day. Pratha is probably the biggest factor in why we chose to come back to Taj Exotica instead of another resort in the Maldives. Mainuddin in housekeeping kept our beach villa exceptionally clean and added lovely decorations that we really cherished. Ashish taught us how to cook a Maldivian fish curry, which was so incredibly tasty. Our therapists at the spa had magic hands! Truly the most relaxing massages ever and their hospitality was so appreciated. Shout out to Corinna the general manager who makes sure everything runs smoothly and that the guests are happy with the overall atmosphere of the resort. You literally don't want to leave, ever!!! We are already planning a 3rd visit!!

The moment we arrived at the Taj Exótica resort in South Malé atol we were taken care of in a very friendly manner. The staff is very accommodating and makes sure we were comfortable. We were lucky to have booked a water villa with an amazing view on the sea. The villa was clean and serviced well by Ali every day and adding amenities like extra clean towels and coffee. The shark snorkelling experience was nice and snorkelling in the secluded and shallow Laguna was an experience as well with many fish and even black tip sharks were roaming around. The Cook & Dine dinner was very nice with chef Priyanka showing us the secrets of Thai cooking. A big shout out to the whole staff and in particular Azzam, Mhelen, Ismail and Shajahan

Absolutely amazing experience for my family. The dive team and the water sports team were absolutely amazing. The service all around the property was exceptional. We will go back one day for sure. Corinna has an amazing team and everyone super friendly and great service.

We traveled to the Maldives to celebrate our 10th anniversary and chose Taj Exotica based on our friends' recommendations and its convenient 10-15 minute speedboat ride. Upon arrival, we were greeted by hotel representative Ali, who promptly guided us to the speed boat. The ride was a bit bumpy due to high tide and rough choppy waters. Our stay was in a Lagoon Water Villa, which was beautiful, clean, and spacious. The property is pristine, close to nature, with a calm and serene beach. Our room attendant, Simo, was incredibly kind and patient, well versed to explain the itinerary and suggesting activities for us. We extend our gratitude to the entire staff at Taj for their wonderful service. Everyone was friendly and kind. Special mentions to Ahmed, Nutei from the spa team; Ismail, Shafio, Azzam, Riyaz, Menleon, Nishad and Hassan from the restaurant team who made every dining a special experience recommended various Maldivian dishes; and Kuttu, who took us snorkeling and provided a life-changing experience. Thank you, Simo and the entire TAJ exotica team.
