Udaipur
known as the “City of Lakes,” Udaipur is like a blue-and-white dream. The city seems lifted from a fairytale, surrounded by the Aravalli Hills and dotted with palaces, ghats, and auditoriums. However, it is the glimmering lakes—Pichola, Fateh Sagar, Udai Sagar, and Badi—that truly define Udaipur, each carrying its own touch of serenity and royal charm. Staying at a lakeside property, where every morning is poetry and every evening is drenched in gold, is the ideal way to experience the city. Here are four stunning lakeside accommodations to consider for your next holiday:
Zana Lake Resort
For pure tranquility, Zana Lake Resort is the perfect choice. This resort, which blends luxury with nature, is located beside the serene Udai Sagar Lake. Enjoy your favorite drink while watching the lake shimmer, wake up to the sound of birds, and spend evenings under a starry sky framed by the hills. With some of the city’s best lake views, Zana offers a unique luxury experience ideal for families, groups, and couples.
Tented Manor on Lake Pichola
Located directly on Lake Pichola, this converted heritage property combines luxury and the outdoors. Imagine all the amenities of a hotel in a tented manor, with a panoramic view of the lake and surrounding nature. The sight of the City Palace glowing across the water is truly unforgettable.
Hotel Lakend
As its name suggests, Hotel Lakend is perfectly situated on the banks of Fateh Sagar Lake. This hotel offers a sense of timelessness with its warm hospitality, outdoor dining, and infinity pool that appears to touch the lake. It is the perfect spot for long lakeside walks and peaceful evenings.
Jagat Niwas Palace
With arched windows, courtyards, and jharokhas that open directly to the lake, Jagat Niwas Palace on the eastern banks of Lake Pichola exudes the quintessential charm of Udaipur. A highlight is its rooftop restaurant, where guests can savor Rajasthani cuisine while enjoying the changing hues of Lake Pichola. Character-rich, cozy, and intimate, this stay is sure to leave a lasting impression.
Udaipur is more than just a city to admire from afar; it is a place to relax, soak in its beauty, and experience the spirit of the city through its lakes. Every moment becomes special when you stay by the water. These lakeside properties offer experiences that will linger in your memory long after your holiday ends. Choose your stay wisely to truly experience the poetry of Udaipur rather than just seeing it.
