Taj Exotica

Indulge in Ayurvedic spa treatments

A romantic hideaway basking beside Benaulim’s sweeping white sands, Taj Exotica sits in 56 acres of exotic plants and palms and gives guests the fantastic facilities and impeccable service for which the Taj group is renowned.

Relax in the swimming pool, and indulge in holistic and Ayurvedic treatments at the spa, and be pampered at the beauty parlour. For active types there's a fitness centre, archery, boating, badminton, cricket, cycling and tennis - plus a nine-hole golf course and putting green.

Kids will love the children's pool and activity centre. Dine in five brilliant restaurants and chill out in the elegant tea lounge, lounge bar and café.

TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice Awards 2012

Destination introduction

A hugely popular beach destination, the tiny state of Goa lies on India’s west coast, offering a unique blend of Indian and Portuguese culture. With its idyllic beaches, emerald green paddy fields and colonial white washed churches, laid back Goa is ideal for a laid back, ‘sand between your toes’ holiday. Our hotels are scattered along the south coast or in a sleepy fishing village, all perfectly positioned to make the most of Goa’s easy going lifestyle and within easy access of Goa’s bustling north.

•  An evening cruise along the Mandovi River is an idyllic way to spend a night.
•  Colva is one of Goa’s most popular beaches, offering a long stretch of uninterrupted sand and lots of shaded palms.
•  Catch the sun setting surrounded by towering coconut palms at beautiful Palolem beach.
