Taj Exotica Resort & Spa, Goa 

A palm-frilled Goan escape

A charming Goan resort with spacious rooms and extensive, beautifully-landscaped gardens.

When you combine the impeccable and world-renowned Taj service, where nothing is too much trouble, with an enviable setting on a quieter stretch of Goa’s coastline the result is one of Goa’s most exclusive and popular resorts. Echoing the region’s Portuguese heritage, there’s a European ambience, as well as a similar laid-back pace of life. The vast gardens are a joy to wander through, while the beach is one of the resort’s real highlights. Although not private, it has a really secluded, untouched feel to it.

Taj Exotica Resort & Spa is the perfect location to end your holiday in India. For the active, there is a nine-hole golf course, badminton, tennis, cricket and The Kids@Taj programme will keep children busy with sports, games and daily workshops. You may prefer to relax on the beach, poolside or in the J Wellness Circle.

  • Seafood lovers should head to the Lobster Village where the catch of the day is grilled in spices

  • With a dedicated kids' club and direct beach access, this is a good choice for families

  • It's worth upgrading to one of the villa rooms which feature a private pool
