TAJ Exotica Resort & Spa*****

Situated on the island of Emboodhu Finolhu, in the middle of one of the largest lagoons in the Maldives, the Taj Exotica Resort and Spa offers you the ultimate luxury: being one with nature. The comforts of fine living seamlessly blend in with the natural foliage. The island slowly reveals itself from amidst the lush tropical surroundings. While a clear sand lagoon – one of the largest in the Maldives – beckons you in.

Sixty-four palm-thatched villas – most over water – sensitively integrate with the natural settings. Amongst them, beach villas with private plunge pools, and lagoon villas on stilts, perched over the ocean with their own private sun deck.

Close at hand is the Taj Spa by Mandara. A tranquil haven where worry, stress and tension are alien.

Sustenance of another kind comes in the shape of a team of international chefs who create an eclectic mix of cuisine, inspired from all corners of the globe.

The Taj Exotica Resort and Spa is located on the island of Emboodhu Finolhu in South Malé Atoll. This picturesque spot, once known as the ‘three coconut island’, is situated 8 kilometres south of the Capital city of Mal?. Emboodhu Finolhu is 770 metres long and nestles on one of the largest sand bank lagoons in the Maldives.

You are met at Malé International airport by a member of the resort, who completes all the pre-registration requirements and escorts you to the docking jetty. The resort’s customised speedboats await you at all times. They are equipped with everything you need to freshen up and begin your journey of discovery. You are served a choice of still or sparkling water as you cover the 15 minute boat ride to paradise.
