Highlights

The Resort – All-inclusive Maldives luxury, elevated

Taj Exotica Resort & Spa brings a polished private-island escape to Emboodhu Finolhu, just 15 minutes by speedboat from Malé’s Velana International Airport. Set beside one of the Maldives’ largest lagoons, the resort is home to 56 villas and six suites, ranging from beachfront stays to overwater accommodation with uninterrupted ocean views.

Food is a central part of the experience. Mediterraneo brings overwater Mediterranean dining to the lagoon, 24 Degrees serves Asian favourites throughout the day, and Equator Bar & Lounge is made for classic cocktails, sunset views and relaxed evenings.

When it’s time to reset, J Wellness Circle draws on Indian healing traditions through treatments, yoga and meditation. It’s a quieter counterpoint to the resort’s water-based adventures, giving you an easy rhythm between reef exploration, long lunches and unhurried afternoons beside the lagoon.

Your Handpicked Inclusions – All-inclusive dining, drinks, transfers and family value

Your island stay begins with return speedboat transfers from Malé’s Velana International Airport, taking you across the water to Taj Exotica in approximately 15 minutes. Once you arrive, enjoy Villa Host service and a daily schedule of activities designed to make the most of your time on the island – including complimentary non-motorised watersports equipment hire and a sunset cruise during the Indian Ocean’s spectacular golden hour.

Dining is covered from morning to night at the following restaurants:

  • 24 Degrees Restaurant (breakfast, lunch and dinner): This all-day dining spot delivers mouthwatering Asian cuisine
  • Mediterraneo Waterfront (lunch): Perched on the edge of the infinite blue, this overwater restaurant brings a distinctively Mediterranean twist
  • Mediterraneo by Jeffrey Vella (dinner): The resort’s iconic half-open restaurant is set directly above the lagoon and features plates by culinary master Jeffrey Vella
  • Equator Bar & Lounge (drinks): Fine cigars, vintage spirits and sweeping views over the Indian Ocean – what’s better?

An extensive all-inclusive drinks programme – including wine, beer, spirits, cocktails, juices and water – keeps refreshments flowing throughout your stay. Finally, enjoy a snoozy final day in paradise with early check-in and late checkout (subject to availability).

Families receive exceptional value, with two children aged 11 and under staying free, with all package inclusions.
