Our view

Taj Exotica is the pick if you want a five-star Indian-brand stay without a seaplane: the transfer is short and Indian dishes are on the menu at 24 Degrees. You pay for that comfort. At about ₹73,000 a night for the lowest listed room it is the dearest speedboat resort in our list, so it suits couples who would rather spend on the room than on the journey. If you mainly want the sea and a reef, a cheaper resort gives you the same water.

What does a trip to Taj Exotica cost from each city?

Four nights for two: the cheapest Flight Finder fare for two adults, four nights at the lowest listed room rate, and the return transfer for two (US$100 to US$300 per person return: a planning range, converted at ₹97 to the dollar; the resort quotes the actual price). Meals and drinks are extra unless you add the resort's all-inclusive plan.

The room rate is the lowest room-only rate Google Hotels listed for one night on 4–5 November 2026, rounded to the nearest ₹1,000. Rates change by date and are higher in peak weeks, and a quote may add service charge and tax.
