    Why Visit The Oberoi Udaivilas?

    Discover what makes this destination truly special

    The Oberoi Udaivilas
    The Oberoi Udaivilas is a luxury resort situated on the banks of Lake Pichola in Udaipur. Its design is inspired by the traditional palaces of Mewar, featuring a sprawling layout of interconnecting domes, corridors, and courtyards. The property covers about 30 acres, which were once the hunting grounds of the Maharana of Mewar. The atmosphere is one of grand yet calm elegance, with manicured gardens, decorative fountains, and reflective pools throughout. Upon arrival, many guests experience a boat ride across Lake Pichola to the hotel's private jetty, offering immediate views of the City Palace and the hotel itself. The interior spaces are detailed with frescoes, intricate mirror work, and handcrafted artifacts. A key feature is the network of swimming pools, including semi-private ones that are directly accessible from the premier rooms. Guests can explore the grounds, which include a wildlife conservatory with deer and wild boar, or relax in the various courtyards. The experience is designed to feel like staying in a contemporary palace, combining modern comforts with royal Rajasthani architecture.
