Raffles Udaipur

An island retreat fit for a king
VERIFIED LUXURY
Raffles Udaipur stole the headlines with a splashy debut on a 21-acre private island on Udai Sagar Lake in 2021. Framed by the Aravalli Hills and overlooking historic palaces, the 137-room resort places you at the heart of one of India’s most visually dramatic cities. 

Udaipur, famed as “The Venice of The East,” evokes the lifestyle of the maharajas — opulent and effortlessly elegant. At Raffles Udaipur, that legacy is reinterpreted through Rajasthan’s Indo-Saracenic architectural details: domed pavilions, carved stone colonnades and thoughtfully curated artworks. Lakeside suites (many with private plunge pools) open onto panoramic views of the lake and hills, immersing you in a world of sublime calm. 

Your stay is orchestrated by the signature Raffles Butler program, where every whim is attended to — from a breakfast by the water to curated excursions or a restorative Ayurvedic spa ritual. But nothing short of excellence will suffice at Raffles Udaipur, one of India’s most celebrated destinations.

Our Inspector's Highlights

  • The private island on Udai Sagar Lake is a world unto itself. Arrive by electric boat and let the still waters and rolling hills set the scene for a cinematic introduction to a resort that feels both secluded and grand.
  • Ten dining and bar experiences — six on the island and four along the lakeshore — create enough variety to keep taste buds dancing. From elegant afternoon teas to cocktails under the stars, each setting tells its own story.
  • Art comes alive across public spaces, suites and corridors: curated collections of Thomas Daniell’s 18th-century landscape prints, exquisite Indian miniatures and Mughal floral paintings unravel discoveries at every turn. Your Raffles butler is on hand to reveal the stories behind each piece.
  • Sustainability feels natural here. The resort carefully manages energy, water and waste to preserve the beauty of Udai Sagar Lake and the surrounding hills. This is the kind of luxury that leaves you and the environment pampered.

The Rooms

  • The 137 rooms and suites span two distinctive estates — 101 on the private island overlooking Baroque-inspired gardens and tranquil waters, and 36 newly introduced at Raffles Lakeshore Udaipur, offering a bespoke retreat along the water’s edge.
  • Muted color palettes let the lake and hills take center stage from every window. Across the 101 island rooms and suites, black-and-white marble inlay cabinetry, hand-painted bathroom murals and curated Rajasthani artworks create a sophisticated, locally inspired environment.
  • From plush linens and indulgent bath amenities to hand-selected décor and elegant lighting, every detail balances function with style, ensuring comfort is never compromised.
  • The Presidential Suite features mother-of-pearl and bone inlay furniture, hand-painted murals, wooden chests and sumptuous upholstery. A living area with powder room, private balcony, state-of-the-art sauna, and personal massage room exude refined exclusivity.
