Taj Exotica Resort & Spa, Andamans

Our recent stay at Taj Andamans was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm smiles and a genuine sense of hospitality. The resort's stunning location amidst the lush greenery and serene waters of the Andaman Sea immediately set the tone for a relaxing and rejuvenating stay.

What truly sets Taj Andamans apart, however, is its exceptional service. Every staff member we encountered, from the housekeeping staff to the restaurant servers, went above and beyond to ensure that we had a memorable experience. A special mention must be made of Mr. Abishek, who consistently went out of his way to ensure that all our needs were met. His professionalism, coupled with his genuine warmth and friendliness, truly made our stay extra special.

The dining experience at Taj Andamans was also top-notch. The variety and quality of food offered at the restaurants were exceptional, with each meal being a culinary delight.

Overall, our stay at Taj Andamans was nothing short of perfect. The combination of stunning natural beauty, luxurious accommodations, and exceptional service made it a truly unforgettable experience. We cannot wait to return to this paradise in the future.

Thank you, Taj Andamans, and a special thank you to Mr. Abishek, for making our stay truly exceptional.

Excellent service from all the staff. Great rooms clean and has almost anything you need. One big thing missing is a table or desk to work or eat. Such a huge room but no desk is weird. Breakfast was awesome with lots of varieties. We had the mexican dinner at Turtle it was absolutely below average. Property is absolutely stunning but Location is in no man's land so you have to spend most of your time there or need a vehicle to move out. All in all Taj services and staff made a memorable stay!

Awesome property. If you are looking for a quiet, peaceful, relaxing vacation, this is the place for you. Private access to Radhanagar beach is there. Very beautiful campus. Food is amazing. Spa is amazing.

I wish I could give 6 Stars to this amazing property and the team here. I rarely get the time to write reviews but the experience here was so outstanding that I had to write my most detailed feedback ever :) First of all, a big shout-out to Vikas who was our one point contact during our stay here. We have stayed in some of the best properties in the world and have experienced outstanding hospitality before but have never met someone as genuine and warm in their hospitality as Vikas. From ensuring that we got the best out of our stay from the experiences to making sure we got the best food and had a taste of his bespoke cocktails he did it all and always with the same warmth. Thank you Vikas for the beyond outstanding hospitality. We will definitely miss this stay. We stayed in the Grand two bedroom pool villa and this was grand in every sense that allowed us to spend quality family time together. Our private pool was quite sizeable that we didn't end up going to the main pool (which looked quite amazing as well). So I will highly recommend this to people looking to get something extra out of their stay at this otherwise outstanding property. The beach was literally a minute from our villa. The rest of the team at the property including the GM of the property was outstanding as well - special shoutouts to Abhishek from the front desk (you were as warm and great as well), the team at the restaurants (Rahul who served us most times) and the activities desk (Ranjan and team) as well as our driver at Havelock, Babul. David who I didn't meet but magically arranged all our drives around Andaman and finally Yabeesh and our driver Inderjit at portblair who even helped us out with our portblair plans. Thank you team Taj Exotica for this truly wonderful experience, I will come back soon.

The resorts location is impeccable. Taj never fails to impress me with their unforgettable hospitality and their family like hosting. I stayed here for 3 nights and they have surprised me with their delicious delicacies and great activities each day. I’d like to thank you for making our stay so beautiful. And thanks to the Activities team, Mahesh, Indrajeet & Venkatesh for making the trip so memorable.
Also a big cheer to Mr Shantanu (F&B Manager) and Mr Akhil/ Mr Abhishek for all the hospitality.
I’d hope to visit again with my Family soon for such a pleasant experience.

We had a fantastic vacation at Taj Exotica. It was a visual delight with abundance of flora and fauna in the resort. The hospitality was impeccable and the service was top notch.

Only thing that i felt was not upto the standards of Taj was the food. Overall it was good but not comparable to what we had in our earlier stays in Taj Fort Aguada. There is definitely a scope of improvement and i will rate the food 4/5.

I booked this resort for 1 day
And I loved everything about it .
There are lots of things to do (activities).
Very quiet place.
People around resort are also very helpful and in discipline.
My best moment is spa service this resort provides to its customers.

We visited Taj in Feb as a family of 3. From start of our stay to end we were thoroughly spoilt
I'll mention names below.
The villas are superbly furnished and you can't fault the size of the whole villa.
Service was exceptionally good. No one could do enough for you.
So the staff that couldn't do enough for you:

Abhishek, Brij, Sandeep, Vikas, Imran
Mahendra, Rajeev, Manorath, Ritesh Rishov, Apoorve,
Satya, Arijit
Nadeem, Sujit, Pabitra, Sourabh, Dinesh, Jim, Bikas, Ashru, Suraj
Santosh , Joydeep Prasanta Dabashish
Ravi
Sorry if iv left anyone out.
Massive thank you
Its fairly far from.other amenities like other restaurants.
There is only 1 nearest sea sport beach which everyone uses.
The beach is not private so you could have people encroaching on your space though Santoshji and Prasanta were very good at warding people off.
Would definitely visit again
Forgot to mention. Our ferry timings changed and Taj was informed in the previous morning but nobody thought they should inform us till we found out from other travellers. Disappointed to have a downer like that after the fantastic time we were given.

One of the most luxurious of the IHCL properties is the Taj Exotica, Havelock, Andaman Islands. Situated right on the one of the most beautiful beaches in Asia that is the Radha Nagar beach. They have 4 categories of rooms namely Tata Suites, Pool Villas, Mangrove Facing Deluxe Villas and Garden Facing Deluxe Villas. The staff is really very courteous and attentive. I was served food by Mr Nadeem everyday and he took good care of us. The food needless to say was lip-smacking and at the same time light on stomach. Mr Debashish took good care of our infant while we were enjoying their olympic size pool.

They have 3 restaurants in-house. Shoreline is their main Multi cuisine restaurant whereas the Turtle House is a poolside international cuisine bar cum restaurant mainly dealing in Mexican food. Whereas they give an intimate community dining experience at Settlers which needs to be pre-booked. Also I would advise everyone to book AP plan or MAP plan so that at-least one of your meal is included and will help you save some money.

In evening they have complimentary high tea beachside so that you can enjoy sunset while enjoying snacks and tea. Since it was women’s day we were offered cake and wine also at the beach. They offered tender coconut water as welcome drink. They also have in-house Spa called Jiva. Mangrove facing villas provide good privacy. Rooms are very large.

Improvements are required in following areas. They should provide a table in the room so that in-room dining can be done.
Beachside is really not upto the mark with no changing rooms and just one shower. Also there is a huge opportunity if they open a bar at the beach.

Amazing spot to stay in when looking for luxury and comfort. Super property, while a bit away from the main hotspots of havelock, its serenity and silence is beautiful. Direct beach access to radhanagar beach. Just one thing is that since it’s far from other hotspots, you might have to eat and drink at the property which can feel a bit overpriced but if you’re looking for luxury this is the spot. 100/100 would recommend.

Also as a welcome gesture they take a photo and frame it for all guests to take back that’s a really nice touch. When checking out the staff also gave us a flower bouquet which lasted us 3 day’s post the stay - truly epitomising staying with you post your stay very nice touch indeed.

Visited Taj Exotica in April 2024.
(1) Rooms are fabulous - spacious, lovely beds, nice patio etc.
(2) Pool is incredible - it is a 50 meter pool with a deck overlooking the beach. Perfect for lounging the whole day since it is comfortably shaded by a huge set of trees
(3) Food is very good. We only ate at the main multi cuisine dining hall but there are Mexican & Italian options.

Thanks to Ashish, Sahil, Mahendra & Nadeem who served us during our stay. Will definitely come back once again!

What a superb Hotel. Maintaining its standard and brand. Amazing high quality delicious mouth watering food with lots of variety. Housekeeping at its best. Full campus is worth roaming. Best memories. Will visit again.

This is heaven on earth! Taj has this property right at one of the most beautiful beaches in the world- Radha beach! Thanks to my husband, we could enjoy our vacay here for good 5 days. It is exclusive, luxury, peace and relaxing at the same time. Reaching here would be a little tiring since you have a ferry travel, flight travel so…. But once you are here it is amazing. Food is amazing, service world class, the unique thing about this place is that GM of this resort receives and sends you off! A special flower bouquet was presented to us on our departure.

It has been an amazing experience at Taj Anadamans.
Right from the checkin to checkout.
It has been a bliss.
Excellent rooms.. individual villa.
I think its been a one of best property of Taj I have ever been to among all the Taj.
If you want to feel what luxury feels like in the middle of such a natural place, do visit this once.

Taj Exotica Andamans guarantees to impress you with their customer-centric approach. Their efficiency is unparalleled, led by the exceptional Mr. Brij and his small yet highly capable team. The setting, comprised of well-designed villas nestled in a forest at the edge of one of the world's Top 10 Beaches, especially renowned for its stunning sunsets, is breathtakingly beautiful.

The dining experience is exceptional, with three restaurants offering diverse options. F&B Manager Mr Rajiv Ranjan stands out as a true professional, demonstrating a keen understanding of individual preferences and crafting amazing personalized dining experiences.

A visit to The Settlers for dinner is a lifetime experience, offering not only a sumptuous meal but also a concept that allows you to explore the history of Andamans and the cuisine brought in by various settlers to this enchanting island. Ensure your meal is prepared by Chef Negi for an unbelievably mouthwatering five-course delight over two and a half hours, leaving you satisfied without feeling overly full.

The all-day dining experience at the Shoreline is set amidst the forest with a refreshing sea breeze and a peeking view of the beach. Chef Baluni's Chinese preparations are truly commendable—don't miss the opportunity to request a Chinese meal prepared by him.

Breakfast is a unique buffet experience with an "à la carte" service, allowing you to customize your meal from over 30+ options according to your preferences.

Turtle Nest, the third restaurant, provides a cosy experience with an infinity pool overlooking the beach and live music. The exceptional BBQ and Mexican options for dinner add to the overall charm.

Don't overlook the complimentary high tea at the beach, especially during one of the most breathtaking sunsets. The clean, safe, and serene beach provides an excellent opportunity for stargazing without urban light pollution. Witness a million stars, and if you're lucky, catch a glimpse of Sirius, Capella, Nebula Galaxy, Jupiter, and Mercury with the naked eye.

However, the J Wellness Spa falls short of expectations and lacks finesse.

If you're a connoisseur of luxury holidays, Taj Exotica Andamans is a must for your bucket list.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at your hotel, and I wanted to express my heartfelt gratitude for the exceptional experience I had during my visit. From the moment I arrived until the day of my departure, everything about my stay exceeded my expectations.

First and foremost, the warm and welcoming staff at Exotica made a lasting impression. Their professionalism, attentiveness, and willingness to go above and beyond to ensure a comfortable stay truly stood out. Whether it was providing valuable local recommendations or promptly addressing any requests, your team's dedication to guest satisfaction was evident throughout my stay.

The accommodation at your hotel were nothing short of outstanding. My room was impeccably clean, well-appointed, and offered breathtaking views of the ocean. The attention to detail and comfort in the room, including the plush bedding and modern amenities, made me feel right at home.

Thank you and I’ll be sure to return again.

We stayed at this wonderfull property of Taj Exotica, Andaman last week. I have no words to express my gratitude to the wonderful hospitality we received. The Manager greeted us at the property as soon as we arrived, and then we received coconut water beads bracelet, a welcome song and a surprise photo frame with our family photo at the end of the stay.
The overall ambience, service, food at the restaurant, breakfast, private beach, high tea at the beach, private villa made our stay ultra luxurious.
The whole team along with the manager, the cooks, staff at restaurant, front desk staff and not to forget the caby driver, in short each and everyone were so welcoming and ready to serve us so promptly that we enjoyed each and every minute of our stay.
Thank you Taj for making our holidays so memorable.

Absolute peace haven!

The resort and staff have blew so many expectations.

Following a flight to Port Blair we where greeted at airport security by a wonderful taj worker who guided us through the airport and transferred us by private car to our ferry. After a 1.5 hour ferry we where once again collected by a private vehicle and taken to taj exotica resort the whole process was stressless and most comfortable.

The resort is stunning and located on one of the best beaches I've ever seen! The in-house activities are endles, and the food delicious.

Having travelled to the Maldives frequently for the last few years I now question why? When such a beautiful island and resort are right here in India.

I wish it was possible to leave more then 5 stars. Thankyou for such a experience only you and you're team could create.

We stayed here last year...Excellent hotel.. lovely staff.. awesome service.. special thanks to Rajeev and his team.
Imran was exceptional.. he took care of so well.. He is a real boon to taj..
Little disappointed that there was no south Indian filter coffee..
Need some attention with the chef who makes Dosa at the live counter during breakfast, we ordered our Dosa when the buffet was still open but never got our order. Service staff was trying to get our order but the chef closed the tawa harshly. Remind him it's a hospitality industry.
Thanks to the front office manager as well...

One of the best places to be on this planet private walk way to the beach with beautiful view. Great place to relax.
Staff is very welcoming.
Rooms or rather the villas are all extra spacious with a private approach to each villa.
Food is good, breakfast spread is terrific, good alacarte menu.
Their instructors were awesome handling each client personally and the actual scuba diving trip was like a dream come true.
My family thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.
