From the moment you walk through the arched gateways of Udaivilas, you will be transported to a world of absolute luxury and grandeur. Majestic architecture, pavilions, reflection pools and landscaped gardens creates the perfect setting. Splendid views of Lake Pichola and the City Palace offer a ceaseless feast for the eyes.

Udaipur (City of Sunrise) is the capital of the erstwhile kingdom of Mewar, one of the oldest surviving dynasties in the world and was established around 1567 A.D. The chequered history of Mewar is showcased in the city of Udaipur, which is akin to an oasis in the desert state of Rajasthan. It is a rich and beguiling tapestry of lakeside palaces, forts, temples, havelis and luxurious gardens, reflecting the varied influences of the intervening centuries.

In this tranquil, salubrious setting, Udaivilas has been conceived as a splendid palace, wonderfully recreating the romance of the past, representing the continuity of the grand traditions of Mewar and yet completely in keeping with the 21st century. The resort is spread over an expanse of 30 acres, and its carefully planned and executed design has evolved as a seamless assimilation of spaces resembling the old palaces.

Courtyards and walkways, gently rippling water bodies fountains and reflecting pools, and exquisitely landscaped gardens, sculptures and frescoes, arches and domes, niches and alcoves - the building lends itself to discovery and continual surprise. Embellished by beautiful works of art and craft from in and around the region, Udaivilas is a vast canvas with an almost lambent quality, changing with the light and seasons and possessed of a sense of timelessness.
