Off the top of my head here are the Exotica LPs that seem to fetch the most (at least on Ebay) - in no particular order:

"Sophisticated Savage" - Augie Colon (Mono only - there was a rumour that Scamp records was set to release this album paired with Colon's fallow up "Chant of the Jungle" both in Stereo. Now I've never seen the "savage" LP in stereo--ever!)

"Polynesian Fantasy" - The Out Islanders
"Hula-La" - Chick Floyd and his ORchestra
"Little Grass Shack" - Chick Floyd
"Exotic Dreams" - Ethel Azama
"White Goddess" - Frank Hunter & his Orchestra
"Far Across The Sea" - Gene Rains Group
"Driftwood" - Jimmy Namaro (the stereo version is very rare)
"The Hawaiian Room" - George Hines & Johnny Coco
"Hawaii Connie" - Connie Francis (the Japanese CD is out of print and goes for big $$)
"Exotica '90" - Martin Denny CD (Japan only release, long out of print)
"Kapu"- Milt Raskin (also released as "Exotic Percussio" - now available from iTunes)
"Exotic Paradise" - Paul Conrad
"Polynesian Paradise" - Phil Moore and his Orhcestra
"Sondi" - Sondi Sodsai (Stereo copy)
"Fantastica" - Russ Garcia (both LP and Japanese CD fetch a good price)
"Space Escapades" - Les Baxter

I'm sure there are many more, feel free to edit the list
