Taj Hospitality is renowned worldwide and leads India’s hotel industry with its opulent brand value, unique locations, premium amenities, exceptional customer support, pleasant ambiance, and more. Havelock Island is fortunate to be home to one of their prestigious resorts, the Taj Exotica Resort & Spa.
Undoubtedly, Taj hotels are associated with premium pricing, and the starting rate at Taj Exotica Resort & Spa is 40K+, making it the preferred choice specifically for elite-class travelers. However, if your budget allows, indulging in at least one night at Taj Exotica is worth it. Yes, in Havelock, we met several tourists who belong to middle-class families, though saved money to enjoy the luxury of Taj! Most of them are honeymooners.
