Dogs love to hang out at beaches!


Taj Exotica, Goa is a delight for pet parents and their fur kids. While all their rooms are uber luxurious, we’d suggest taking a sea view room to rediscover yourself as you spend some calm moments with your pooch. The hotel will arrange for a bed, dog food and toys to make sure your pet is pampered to the fullest. If your pooch is selective when it comes to food, the chef will be happy to help with customized recipes!

Spend the mornings exploring the hotel’s beautiful environs and head to one of the many beaches in Goa for a fun-filled evening with your little family member. Don’t miss clicking those fun selfies while at the beach!

The hotel lawns are waiting for your dog.


Situated at MG Road, one of Bengaluru’s upscale localities, Vivanta by Taj has been known for organizing various brunches with pets. While you’re here, we would recommend you opt for a room which opens to their gorgeous lawns so that there is enough space for the dog to run around and unwind. How about ordering in room service and relishing the exotic delicacies on the menu while your pooch enjoys his play time?

While this pet-friendly hotel allows dogs under 45 kilograms, you’d need to take prior permission before you plan a stay with a larger breed than that. Also, you must carry a bed for your dog to the hotel.
