11 Best Luxury Hotels in India for a Premium Stay

7. Taj Exotica Resort & Spa — Andaman Islands (Tropical beach resort)

Taj Exotica in the Andaman Islands offers white-sand beaches, coral snorkeling, and a relaxed island rhythm that feels far from mainland crowds. The resort emphasizes marine activities—snorkeling, diving, and boat trips to nearby islands—and has a full-service spa for post-flight rest. Travel logistics matter: the main gateway is Veer Savarkar International Airport in Port Blair (IXZ), followed by a domestic connection or ferry to the resort’s island, depending on its location and the itinerary. The best months are October through May to avoid monsoon-related sea conditions. Representative nightly rates typically begin in the $300–$800 range, varying with room type and season. For North American travelers, allow an extra travel day and plan connections carefully; the resort often arranges domestic transfers and can advise on inter-island travel. Sustainable tourism initiatives are more common here, and many luxury operators emphasize reef-friendly activities.
