Taj Exotica Resort & Spa, Andamans
This long-anticipated luxury resort destination is set on Havelock Island in the Andaman Sea and covers 46 acres of property. It is the first luxury beach resort to grace this tropical collection of picturesque islands, and it was created with the utmost care for the environment. Not a single tree was felled during construction, and an on-site bottling plant was erected to prevent the use of plastic bottles and to cement the resort’s status as eco-friendly. Fringed by a strip of mangroves and a river, the resort gloriously opens up to the famed Radhanagar Beach. Pristine beaches lie before guests while wildlife sanctuaries and ancient tribal sites await them inland. In terms of accommodations, the resort boasts 50 modern villas on stilts. These villas are inspired by Jarawa tribe dwellings and are luxuriously appointed with king-size beds and comfortable furnishings. The five-fixture bathrooms are fitted with rain showers and bathtubs, and decks receive an abundance of sunshine. As for dining, there are three restaurants that offer an array of gourmet regional and international dishes, and there is also a pool bar serving guests lounging around the Olympic-size infinity pool. The spa is exceptional with an array of treatments that range from Ayurveda therapies to aromatherapies. A 24-hour fitness center is on-site; yoga classes are offered in the mornings, and guests are encouraged to get away from the resort to kayak, scuba dive, hike, and snorkel. There is plenty of fascinating wildlife and enchanting ecology to see nearby, and the resort’s staff is more than happy to help guests discover it.
