The 100-room Hyatt Regency Oubaai Golf Resort and Spa is part of the 263-hectare Oubaai
Golf Resort, an upscale residential and golf development overlooking the Indian Ocean on
Herolds Bay. Located on the Garden Route, which extends along the Western Cape from Cape
Town to Port Elizabeth, the development also features the country’s first Ernie Els
championship golf course.

Located five minutes from George Airport in an area renowned for its pristine beaches,
indigenous forests and nature reserves, the hotel’s position between the ocean and the majestic
Outeniqua Mountains naturally lent itself to the development of an exclusive resort. In addition
to the Hyatt Regency, the property will also consist of residential villas and apartments, and an
upscale shopping center.

“Hyatt Regency Oubaai Golf Resort and Spa will offer guests a complete holiday experience by
blending Hyatt’s authentic hospitality with exceptional facilities and an unmatched natural
landscape,” said Gebhard Rainer, managing director, Hyatt Hotels & Resorts – Europe, Africa
and the Middle East.

“The hotel’s opening will not only build our presence in Africa, but also will add to our long
history and reputation of international, world-class hotel offerings,” added Rainer.

Recreation and Relaxation

Oubaai is a naturally undisturbed site nestled in the heart of South Africa’s Garden Route. Once
the site of a prehistoric settlement, it is bordered on one side by a river valley, on one side by
the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean, and on its two other sides by woodland and natural
vegetation.

waters of Herolds Bay Beach and exploring the Oubaai Heritage trail, which offers more than 5
miles of hiking trails.

The resort also features an outdoor swimming pool, a separate children’s wading pool and
access to the Lifestyle Centre, which includes a tennis court, two outdoor swimming pools,
including a heated lap pool, a squash court, and an exercise facility and studio for group
classes.

deck, and tours to nearby wineries.

The development features the first Ernie Els signature golf course in South Africa. The 7,126 yd
(6,516 m) 18-hole links-style golf course was completed four years ago and is fully operational.
In the design, the three-time winner of major championships, Ernie Els, and his team have taken
full advantage of the spectacular landscape. Furthermore, they had the full support of Nicklaus
Design, the privately held company of golf legend Jack Nicklaus and family, which served as
technical advisor on the project.

Taj Exotica has applied a range of initiatives to reduce its carbon foot print, whilst ensuring that guests continue to experience a high level of comfort, luxury accommodation, culinary offerings, spa and recreational facilities, as well impeccable service – an international hallmark of the Taj group.

Taj Exotica has meticulously analysed the maintenance of energy efficiency, water management, air quality and handling of noxious substances across the resort.

The property is one of very few in the Maldives to have installed a unique hot water system, which instead of using electric geysers, uses three DG sets (Diesel Generator Cooking Paths) to assist in heat recovery and reduce diesel output. Taj Exotica invested in the installation of insulated pipes all around the island, pumping the water around at a constant pressure of 2kg. The result is an annual saving of 109500 litres of diesel.

In the area of water consumption, the property has activated a rain water harvesting system with the yearly collection of 896000 liters. Taj Exotica boasts a bottling plant on site. The ‘Classic Crystal’ tropical bottling system, produces both sparkling and still water and reuses glass bottles, thus saving on the usage of tens of thousands of plastic bottles each year. It should also be noted that the trees and plants, including Jade Tree, Sea Hibiscus and Malikuruva rose, located on Emboodhu Finolhu island, are endemic species and do not require any additional watering. This saves the resort an extra requirement of 10,000 litres of water per day.

These are some of the key initiatives, that, along with the recycling of metal (which is rare in the Maldives), have resulted in a daily saving of 1,045,987 watts of energy and a 22% reduction in daily carbon dioxide emission.

The commitment of the staff to the principles of environment sustainability has been recognised and endorsed by the prestigious Green Globe Certified Silver Status – the second highest level of Green Globe’s benchmarking, certification and performance improvement system in the travel and tourism industry.

In addition to the sustainable operation of the property, Taj Exotica prides itself in offering the only dive centre in the Maldives which is a PADI Project AWARE ECO Operator & Official Partner. All eco operators and official partners are selected to demonstrate a commitment to conservation, whilst providing their clients with experiences which will enhance the visitor awareness, appreciation and understanding of the environment.

Taj Exotica is spread across a pristine beach and over one of the largest lagoons in the Maldives, offering sixty two luxury villas. Heralded for its culinary offerings, guests can choose to dine in one of the resorts’ restaurants, experience 24 hour in-villa dining valet services or choose any location around the island for a memorable al fresco private dining experience. Whether it’s dining on the new Ocean pavilion, suspended over the Indian Ocean or experiencing a Champagne Sunset on a sandbank in the middle of a lagoon, Taj Exotica Resort & Spa promises to cater for every taste.

The pièce de resistance is the Jiva Grande Spa – a private island sanctuary offering a range of Indian wellness signature treatments and rituals. Only 15 minutes by a private luxury speedboat, from Malé International Airport, Taj Exotica is accessible, exclusive and eco aware – a feasible paradox in these uncertain times.

Prices at Taj Exotica Resort & Spa, Maldives start from £1761 GBP per person, travelling with Kuoni in July 2009, based on two adults sharing a room for seven nights including international return flights with Sri Lankan Airlines.
