Raffles Udaipur

Situated on a secluded 21-acre private island in the middle of Udai Sagar Lake, Raffles Udaipur combines European Palladian architecture with classical Mewari motifs. Arrival is by private electric boat, establishing an atmosphere of total isolation. The 137 rooms and suites showcase high vaulted ceilings, carved stone fireplaces, private plunge pools, and expansive balconies with uninterrupted views of the lake and surrounding Aravalli hills. The interiors blend Anglo-Indian antiques, wrought-iron chandeliers, and mother-of-pearl details. A standout feature is the Writers Bar, serving a localised twist on the classic Singapore Sling using regional botanicals. The property houses a 1,100-square-metre spa tent, manicured ornamental gardens inspired by French formal landscaping, and multiple open-air dining venues along the water's edge. Dedicated butler service ensures hyper-personalised, quiet luxury away from urban Udaipur.
