Taj Exotica Resort & Spa, Goa  

On South Goa’s Benaulim stretch, this beachfront resort sits on 56 acres with about 800 meters of private beach frontage. Minutes from Benaulim, Varca and Colva beaches and roughly 27 km from the airport, it’s a family-friendly beachfront escape.

140 rooms spread across lush grounds with ocean-view balconies, private patios and suites featuring separate living rooms and deep soaking tubs. Villas add private plunge pools.

Full-service spa, outdoor pool and seasonal waterslide, plus tennis courts, gym, yoga lawns, mini-golf and a kids' club. Complimentary short bike use, table tennis, croquet and a busy tour desk keep things active — wake up to sea-breeze mornings and walk straight to the sand.
