Tata Group’s Two Resorts In Lakshadweep

Even as tourist interest in Lakshwadeep has exploded, the relatively lesser number of hotels and resorts in the islands has led to questions – whether it can rival Maldives. Interestingly, the Indian Hotels Company, India’s largest hotel chain is setting up two Taj-branded resorts on the islands of Suheli and Kadmat in Lakshadweep. The projects are slated to open in 2026. Suheli is a ring-shaped island with a coral reef rim that encircles a lagoon and is rich in marine life. The Taj at Suheli will have 110 rooms including 60 villas on the beach and 50 water villas. A coral island with a large lagoon, Kadmat Island, also known as Cardamom Island, is a marine protected area with seagrass beds, which are a nestling ground for marine turtles. Featuring 110 rooms, the Taj hotel at Kadmat will comprise of 75 beach villas and 35 water villas.
