This property melds tradition with modernity to create an oasis for the perfect getaway

Udaipur, the City of Lakes, is synonymous with warm Rajasthani hospitality. There's something about the city steeped in Rajputana history that makes it an unmissable destination, even during the off-season. Even as the state bakes under the heat of the summer sun, the seven lakes of the city offer much-needed respite. While Lake Pichola clearly emerges as the winner, thanks to its scenic views and the host of luxurious properties dotted alongside it, there is one more such lake that promises a heavenly oasis. A mere 20-minute drive from Udaipur airport and a 10-minute boat ride away, Raffles Udaipur sits pretty on the Udai Sagar Lake in all its grandeur.
