Pamper yourself at this exclusive beach resort in the Maldives.

As fall stubbornly marches into winter and light jackets give way to bulky coats, you can't help but look forward to resort season and its endless possibilities for finding bliss during the cold months. If skiing in Gstaad seems like more cold-weather misery when you'd rather be lying on a beach, Taj Hotels Resorts and Palaces has the perfect cure for your wintertime blues.

Taj Exotica Resort and Spa Maldives provides the perfect getaway even for the most seasoned traveler. Ranked high in Condé Nast Traveler for overseas leisure hotels in the Middle East, Africa, and the Indian Ocean Islands, Taj Exotica offers a private, romantic, and exclusive experience. Situated on pristine white beaches and surrounded by the clear blue waters of one of the largest lagoons in the Maldives, the resort caters up myriad options for couples to enhance their stay. When not lazing on the beach or receiving sumptuous treatments in the Jiva Grande Spa, guests can enjoy gourmet international cuisine, water sports, and recreational activities. These include big-game ...

The resort's acclaimed Jiva Grande Spa reflects India's ancient approach to wellness, promoting yoga and Ayurvedic medicine. In addition to the usual spa offerings, like deep-tissue massage and exfoliating skin treatments, the spa also offers some unique specialties. From Champi, an Indian head massage technique that stimulates hair follicles and restores the hair's natural gloss, to the Ventoz, or Indian Cupping, a massage that cures longtime ailments, the spa's treatments are sure to impart you with an intensely relaxing experience. Bath scrubs, wraps, and beauty services round out the menu.

After blowing off some steam at the spa, you can enjoy four dining options right on the property. 24 Degrees, the all-day casual restaurant, serves up multinational cuisine either indoors or al fresco on the beach. The Deep End, open for dinner only, offers à la carte progressive world cuisine and an extensive wine list. For an after-dinner nightcap and cigar, the Equator Bar is the go-to place. Guests can also enjoy a private gourmet meal without leaving their villa or suite.

The property offers 62 villas, designed to seamlessly blend into the casual, natural beauty of the Maldives. Constructed from natural woods and sandy hues, the villas echo the striking beauty of the ocean, its beaches, and the island flora. Many of the villas boast a private pool and all of them are stocked with modern amenities like LCD-screen televisions, organic mini bars, and iPod chargers. While these modern conveniences are always at hand, the resort promotes a soothing and organic atmosphere.

Full accommodation options include Lagoon Villas, Deluxe Lagoon Villas with Pools, Deluxe Beach Villas, Beach Villa Suites, and the Rehendi Presidential Suite. The rooms range from 233 to 518 square feet in size, except the Presidential Suite, which measures 1,476 square feet. This deluxe suite includes a private sun deck and a 15-foot freshwater pool. Its beautiful suspended deck's floor is lined with sand. All rooms and suites offer sweeping views of the ocean.
