Taj Exotica Resort and Spa South Male Atoll

Our stay at Taj Exotica was truly exceptional. From the moment we arrived the warmth luxury and serene atmosphere made it the perfect place to relax while feeling completely cared for. The food was outstanding with every meal beautifully prepared and full of flavor. A special mention to Chef Ashish for the coconut panna cotta which was absolutely unforgettable. A heartfelt thank you to Shah Jahan who took great care of us during meals and made every dining experience special. We would also like to sincerely thank Nadeem our personal butler who was always just a WhatsApp message away and assisted us in countless ways making our stay effortless and memorable. The service across the resort was impeccable and room we stayed in was immaculate comfortable and offered stunning views and complete privacy. Highly recommended and we would love to return.

Right from the beginning till the very end, we could feel the true “Tajness” of Taj. Our stay at Taj Maldives was an experience we will cherish forever – a beautiful blend of warmth, luxury, and genuinely heartfelt hospitality. Mr. Ali was the first and last smiling face we saw, and he made a world of difference. He welcomed us so warmly, ensured our amenities were in place, accompanied us to the boat, helped with our tickets, and guided us to the right immigration area. Both arrival and departure were absolutely seamless and stress-free because of him. Our butler, Mr. Nadeem, was simply outstanding. He was always just a moment away whenever we needed anything and even worked his magic while we were snorkeling so we could see the most stunning underwater corals. He coordinated everything so smoothly, made sure we were always comfortable, and handled all our queries and requests with a constant, warm smile. A very special thank you to Ms. Nishmita ji, who took such wonderful care of us throughout our stay. She made sure all our food preferences were clearly understood and perfectly taken care of, and her thoughtful coordination added so much comfort and ease to our daily routine. The culinary team truly made our holiday unforgettable. Chef Prakash Dube delighted us with incredible Indian dishes – the dal makhani and sweet chilli lotus stem were truly mouthwatering and executed to perfection. Chef Luke, the Italian specialist, prepared the best pesto pasta and mushroom ravioli specially for us; they were absolutely delicious and felt crafted with great care. Chef Bahadur, the Asian food specialist, also impressed us with his flavours and attention to detail. The service at 24 Restaurant deserves a special mention. Rabeem, Shahjahan, Alaau, and Naushad looked after us with such warmth and professionalism. Their attentive service, friendly conversations, and genuine care made every meal feel special and added a personal touch to our experience. At Mediterraneo by Jeffery Vella, we were wonderfully taken care of by Ritesh, the Manager of Food and Operations. His recommendations, attention to our preferences, and gracious hospitality elevated our dining experience and made us feel truly valued. We would also like to appreciate Mr. Jinan, the Duty Manager, for his warmth and meticulous attention to detail. He constantly checked in to ensure we were being looked after well and went above and beyond by arranging with our return boat captain to take us through the dolphin areas on our way back. Watching the dolphins play in the open ocean was one of the most breathtaking and unforgettable moments of our trip. Our heartfelt gratitude also goes to Mr. Abnash Kumar, the General Manager, for ensuring that our entire stay felt special, comfortable, and filled with VIP courtesies. His leadership clearly reflects in the high standards, consistency, and genuine hospitality of the entire team. Taj Maldives is not just a resort; it is an experience crafted by people who truly care. We left with full hearts, beautiful memories, and a strong desire to return. Highly, highly recommended.
