MALDIVES (July 15, 2013) - Taj Exotica Resort & Spa Maldives is pleased to announce the opening of its new Ocean Pavilion, an ultra-romantic setting for symbolic celebrations and ceremonies.  Set in complete seclusion and surrounded by the crystal waters of the Maldives' largest lagoon, the pavilion is only accessible by boat.  Its architecture reflects the local Maldivian style, with antique wooden columns and a tiled roof.

For couples wishing to reaffirm their commitment to the sound of lapping waves in the middle of the Indian Ocean, Taj Exotica Resort & Spa Maldives offers a 'Renewal of Vows' package.  The package includes a ceremony at the idyllic Ocean Pavilion followed by a sunset cruise with space for family and friends.  An under-the-stars party will then be arranged at a private location within the resort where guests can feast on freshly caught seafood, canapés and champagne either on the island's pristine beach, a secluded pavilion or one of the resort's villas - lavishly decorated for the wedding night.  The package also includes a photographer to capture the event. 

The newly 'remarried' couple can then enjoy some romantic time alone, being pampered in a Jiva Grande Spa over-water couple Suite.  Here they will experience the signature Alepa treatment drawn from sacred and ceremonial time-honored Indian bathing rituals.

Couples can upgrade their stay by reserving the recently renovated Rehendi Presidential Suite where they can marvel at the ocean life from glass-walled bathrooms. With open-air salas for unwinding and dining, a 15-foot infinity pool and hammocks, this is the perfect place to celebrate in style another 'happily ever after'.

The Renewal of Vows package starts at $3,600 per couple (approx.£2,343).  Please click here to see what the package includes.
This offer is valid until October 31, 2014.

Villas at Taj Exotica Resort & Spa cost from $1,000 (approx. £659) or upgrade to the Rehendi Presidential Suite from $6,000 (approx. £3,960) per night based on double occupancy.
