Goa · Calwaddo, Benaulim
A beachfront resort at Benaulim, South Goa, on 56 acres between the Arabian Sea and a village of garden villas — 19 room grades, 5 restaurants and a helipad on its own stretch of sand.
Taj Exotica sits at Calwaddo, Benaulim, in South Goa, less than an hour from Dabolim Airport and about 90 minutes from Manohar International. The resort is laid out as a village: garden villas under palm cover on one side, the main house and its sea-facing rooms on the other, a beach of its own in between. A helipad sits on the lawn above the sand, and Goan-Portuguese architecture runs through the whole property.
The ladder runs on 3 things: which building a room sits in, whether it faces the garden or the sea, and whether it has a plunge pool of its own. Villa Room Garden View, Premium Villa Room Garden View and Exotica Room are 56 square metres in the garden villas, in king or twin. Deluxe Room Sea View and Premium Room Sea View move into the main building and face the water. 5 grades add a private plunge pool, from Villa Room Garden View With Plunge Pool at 56 square metres to the two-bedroom Presidential Villa at 164. Junior, Executive and Luxury Suite add a living area at 93, 110 and 115 square metres, and 2 interconnected sets join a pair of rooms into a family unit at 114 and 152.
The concierge arranges spa treatments, table reservations and half- and full-day trips around Goa, from heritage walks to a feni-tasting visit. In-room dining runs around the clock. Airport transfers, a travel desk and connecting rooms are all arranged on request, and up to 2 pets are welcome per room, each under 30 pounds.
J Wellness Circle. The spa runs Ayurvedic therapies rooted in India's wellness heritage, each one opening with a steam ritual and closing in a relaxation lounge. A rose-petal soak and an Indian aromatherapy massage are among the signature rituals.
Meetings and Weddings. The pillarless Sala Grande ballroom seats up to 500 for a formal dinner, with smaller rooms for a boardroom or a smaller party. Destination weddings run on the lawns and the beach beyond them.
