Guests at the resort can look forward to enjoying a stint of sunset fishing, also called night fishing, at the magical sunset hours along with sweeping views of the sunset whilst aboard an authentic Maldivian Dhoni. The charming wooden boat anchors by a reef close to the resort’s island. With fishing lines, tackle and bait you can try their luck in catching reef fish such as Grouper, Red Snapper, Squirrel Fish, Skip Jack Tuna and Barracuda.

3 reviews of “Taj Exotica Resort & Spa Maldives

  1. Milana Abitova / July 30, 2018

    Taj Exotica Resort & Spa входит в сеть отелей Taj Hotels Resorts and Palaces, а также в ассоциацию The Leading Small Hotels of the World. Отель отличается высоким уровнем сервиса. Рекомендуем, в первую очередь, для молодожен и любителей спокойного, комфортного отдыха. Расположен посередине одной из самый больших лагун в мире, на острове Эмбуду-Финолу, 8 км от международного аэропорта Велана, 15 минут на скоростном катере.
    Номерной фонд представлен 64 номерами, и несмотря на то, что последний раз отель проходил реконструкцию в 2005 году, виллы все свежие и просторные, оформлены в теплых тонах и обставлены изысканной мебелью из дерева в индийском стиле. При каждом номере, независимо от категории, к услугам гостей имеется индивидуальный батлер .
    Кухня интернациональная с уклоном на азиатскую.
    Есть винный погреб, ценовая категрия от 50$ до 9000$ за бутылку.
    Семьям с детьми планирующим отдых в Taj Exotica, следует принять во внимание, что остров не распологает никакой инфраструктоурой для детей.
    Из минусов можно, также, отметить слишком близкое расположение от Мале, с одной стороны острова отчетиво виден аэропорт и столицу Мальдив, и над островом часто пролетают самолеты , хотя для кого – то это может казаться развлечением.

    Taj Exotica Resort & Spa is part of the Taj Hotels Resorts and Palaces chain of hotels, as well as the The Leading Small Hotels of the World. The hotel is distinguished by a high level of service. We could recommend it, first of all, for the honeymooners and guests looking for a quiet and comfortable stay. It is located in the middle of one of the largest lagoons in the world, on the Embudu-Finolo island, which is 8 km from the international airport Velana, transfer takes 15 minutes by speedboat.
    Hotel offers 64 rooms, and despite the fact that the last time the hotel was reconstructed in 2005, the villas are all fresh and spacious, decorated in warm colors with exquisite wooden furniture in Indian style. All guests despite the room category they occupy are provided with an individual butler.
    The cuizine is international with a focus on Asian.
    There is a wine cellar, a price category from $ 50 to $ 9000 per bottle.
    Families with children planning a holidays in Taj Exotica should take into account that there is no infrastructure for children on the islsand.
    Another disadvantage that can be noted as well is too close location from Male, from one side of island, the airport and the capital of the Maldives are visible very clear, airplanes fly over the island very often, although for some tourists it may seem like entertainment.

    Taj Exotica is near the airport, it’s just 15 minutes away via speedboat. At first I thought that Taj would have a strong Indian atmosphere – as the name suggests – but I was mistaken. Taj has a very light atmosphere and I can recommend it to any nationality.
    The island and the villas are beautiful – it will give a very relaxing feeling as it is very spacious. The interior design is very unique and will be highly advisable for guests who need privacy so it is suitable for honeymooners. Their food is ala-carte and it is superb. You won’t wait long for the food to be served and it has huge servings. Their restaurants are either on the beach or overlooking the beach which will provide a very romantic feel to the guest.
    The highest room category is the Presidential Suite which is on the farthest and on the middle of the water villas. It will give 100% privacy and is very spacious. There is an over water hammock, it has its own swing bed, a long pool in the middle, dining area inside and outside. It is one of the best rooms I had seen.
    They have stingray feeding which is an additional entertainment to guests. At around 5 in the afternoon, stingrays will arrive at the shore and there is marine biologist who will give information about them while feeding them. This is a big hit especially for guests who are travelling with kids.

  3. Alina / August 21, 2021

    Taj Exotica Maldives opened in 2005, and is a 5* luxury resort. This is Indian brand, resort is located in South Male Atoll with only 15 minutes speedboat ride. Resort is located on a long, narrow natural island with a very wide lagoon. The reef surrounding the lagoon protecting the lagoon and a water in the lagoon is very calm and shallow, that even if guests afraid to live on the water villas they will really feel comfortable, it will also be convenient for those who don’t swim well.
    The Design of the villas are classic and made of a very good quality material. Even thought it is not a new resort the rooms look solid and every well maintained. Water villas are with a glass in a bathroom which is not transparent from the outside but.
    There are 65 villas in 8 categories. For those who prefer more space there is a 2 bedroom Beach Suite with. Spa & Pool & butler pantry. There are. 2 restaurants and 2 bars, resorts offers only a-la-carte option. One of a uniqueness of a resort is a unique private dining experience on the lagoon which got a name on the island of the world’s smallest restaurant. This is a family friendly resort but there are no kids club.
    SPA is very good and SPA pavilions are large and nicely decorated, including ceiling. This resort will be a great choice for those who prefer personalised service and atmosphere of elegant luxury. The team is highly professional watching even step of the guests and demonstrate a lot of care.
