Taj Exotica is set in 27 acres of lush gardens and in addition to each room having its own plunge pool, the main pool is a real focal point of the hotel. As the serene blue waters of Tamarin Bay are just steps away, this is a paradise for water babies. Within its colonial architecture the décor appropriately enough is an exotic mix of French colonial, Indian, African and Arabic design.
Mauritius, or Île Saint-Maurice, has often been described as an island that is between Europe, Asia and Africa. Geographically of course this tiny island in the Indian Ocean is nowhere near Europe, but the fact that it was a French colony for 200 years accounts for the French influence. The natural beauty of the island remains intact, and is the island’s biggest draw card ... that and the weather.
