In a proud moment for Indian eco-tourism, Taj Exotica Resort & Spa, Andamans has been honoured with the prestigious ‘Best Biodiversity and Habitat Resort’ award at the Global Tourism Awards 2025.
Nestled in the pristine Radhanagar Beach on Havelock Island, the resort was recognized for its exceptional commitment to sustainability, conservation, and biodiversity protection. Operated by IHCL (Indian Hotels Company Limited), Taj Exotica has set global benchmarks in eco-conscious luxury, blending world-class hospitality with responsible tourism.
From its zero single-use plastic policy, rainwater harvesting, and organic waste management systems, to its deep-rooted collaborations with local communities and conservation groups, the resort has emerged as a model for regenerative tourism.
“This award reaffirms our belief that luxury and sustainability can go hand in hand. At Taj Exotica, we are not just offering a stay—we’re offering a way to coexist with nature,” said a spokesperson from IHCL.
The Global Tourism Awards celebrate innovation and excellence across the travel and hospitality industry, and Taj Exotica’s win puts India’s eco-luxury offering firmly on the international map.
