PB hotel design editorial

Stretched along one of the longest unbroken stretches of sand on Goa's southern coast, the Taj Exotica Resort & Spa at Benaulim commands roughly 56 acres of coconut-grove and fairway that slope gently toward the Arabian Sea — a scale of landholding that most Goan properties can only approximate. The aerial view makes the ambition plain: a nine-hole golf course threading between palm groves, the beach lined with traditional fishing boats that pull the eye toward the horizon, the low-rise main building set well back from the water in a configuration that privileges landscape over architecture. That restraint is deliberate. The property was developed by the Taj Group as a resort whose defining asset is the land itself, and the two-storey neoclassical structure — its arched colonnades and rendered facades carrying a faint Portuguese-colonial inflection — defers to the grounds rather than competing with them. Inside, the interiors navigate a considered middle ground between Goan vernacular and contemporary resort comfort. Guest rooms are finished in warm-toned hardwood flooring, with saffron-yellow wainscoting providing a jolt of local colour against the greyed headboard walls; the hand-knotted rugs in ochre, slate, and ivory echo the azulejo-patterned artwork framed above the beds, a quiet nod to Goa's Portuguese heritage. The signature restaurant is more theatrical — fluted spiral columns, coffered plaster ceilings, a central water feature, and dark-lacquered Chippendale-influenced chairs — its grandeur framing views of the fairway through arched French doors that open the room to the coastal light.

"The Taj exotica resort Goa is a beautiful & exquisite luxury resort with fantastic amenities, lush greenery, peaceful surroundings and the magnificent private beach which makes it a perfect holiday destination. However, what really sets the resort apart are its people, the staff are exceptionally warm, courteous, attentive and went out of their way to make us feel special.

"I would really like to appreciate the hospitality offered by the group , one if the best in class hospitality, comfort and definetly exotic as per the name. One more thing i would really like to mention is the warmth and sense of responsibilty towards the custimer and very sincere efforts taken by "Mr Raj from reservation team" to make the day very special with everything on time and being particular as mentioned. His sense of responsibily towards his duties has left me speechless, I have travelled across the globe and have been at nearly every class of hotels but the way he has understood the occassion , accordingly has suggested the best services that can be undertaken and also have made sure that everything was in place before time. Thanks to the taj group and specially this gentleman Mr Raj for making tbe celebration very SPECIAL. @Mr Raj: your commitment towards your duties shows the ethical values you are carrying with you. Take care buddy, enjoy your day."

"The entire experience at 'Taj Exotica' is magnificent and very much relaxed. Location is one of THE BEST. Rooms are huge and lavishly designed. *None* in the industry can beat Taj in terms of cleanliness too !!! The calming effect of the place makes it so much exclusive. Services and Amenities again *unmatched.*"
