Raffles Udaipur – A Royal Retreat on a Private Island

Rising like a dream from the serene waters of Udai Sagar Lake, Raffles Udaipur is a majestic escape where European sophistication meets Indian royal heritage. Accessible only by boat, this private island palace offers a sense of arrival that is as poetic as it is exclusive.

Surrounded by lush gardens, rolling hills, and mirror-like waters, the resort evokes the grandeur of Rajasthan’s regal past, reinterpreted with contemporary elegance and Raffles’ legendary grace. Spacious suites, many with private plunge pools and garden terraces, are adorned with Mewar-inspired design, intricate detailing, and soft, luxurious textures—each one a tranquil sanctuary with panoramic views of the lake and landscape.

Here, days begin with birdsong and end beneath a canopy of stars. Indulge in bespoke wellness rituals at the Raffles Spa, take a curated heritage tour of Udaipur’s palaces and temples, or simply unwind by the infinity pool as the light dances across the water.

Culinary experiences are thoughtfully curated—from Rasoi, where Indian traditions meet refined technique, to global flavors served al fresco on the lake’s edge. The iconic Long Bar brings the spirit of Raffles to India, offering handcrafted cocktails and timeless ambiance.

At Raffles Udaipur, luxury is both immersive and intimate—a world apart, yet deeply rooted in the cultural soul of Rajasthan. This is not just a stay—it is a story lived in elegance, stillness, and splendor.
