The Reef
Taj Exotica's house reef wraps the long, narrow island with accessible entry points and good fish life. Turtles and reef sharks are regular sightings, and the coral is in decent health. It's a solid rather than spectacular reef — the resort's real strengths are its design and food programme.
Kids' Club
No dedicated kids' club, though Taj Exotica accommodates families. The peaceful atmosphere suits older children better than young ones.
