Luxury Holidays At Taj Lake Palace

Taj Lake Palace is a surreal vision of white marble, seemingly afloat on the shimmering waters of Lake Pichola. All of the guest rooms boast luxurious silks, richly coloured murals and ornately carved wooden furniture, and offer spectacular views of either the serene Lake Pichola or beautifully fragrant Lily Pond Courtyard. Once owned by the descendants of the royal Mewar Dynasty, this is a truly special palace, which allows guests to bask in the reflected splendour of their surroundings in fabulous style.

Culture & History At Taj Lake Palace

This surreal white marble palace floats elegantly on the tranquil waters of Lake Pichola. Taj Lake Palace dates back to the 18th century when Maharana Jagat Singh II built this majestic building, and today this architectural masterpiece still creates an awe-inspiring experience. Heritage walks take you around the palace, where you will learn from historians about the enthralling stories of its past. Take in the magical views over the lake and admire City Palace, one of the many sights to see in Udaipur. James Bond fanatics may recognise Taj Lake Palace from the film, 'Octopussy'.

Romance

Taj Lake Palace is considered one of the most romantic hotels in the world. From the moment you step on the immaculate wooden water taxi, which takes you across the glistening Lake Pichola, to stepping off the boat to a shower of rose petals and a platter of refreshments that await your arrival, guided under a sequined umbrella to a traditional welcome, you realise you are in paradise. Royal butlers treat you like a maharajah and cater to your every need, while a private dining experience enables you to enjoy a romantic meal in the most magnificent settings, with menus designed for you by master chefs.

Spa Breaks

Experience an unforgettable spa treatment as you take a calming trip on Jiva Boat Spa and float peacefully on the serene waters of Lake Pichola. Treat yourself to Signature experiences, Indian therapies and aromatherapies, body scrubs and indulgences for you or you and your partner. The boat features a round bath on deck, while the couple's treatment room on board is a celebration of traditional Indian design.

Historic Buildings

Rajasthan is a truly astonishing place, especially when it comes to history and architectural gems. Take Hawa Mahal for instance, Jaipur’s most distinctive landmark, boasting an incredible salmon pink façade that towers a staggering five storeys tall. Constructed in 1799 by Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh, it facilitated elegant ladies of the household as they watched processions of the city. Durbar Hall in Udaipur’s City Palace is another brilliant example of Rajasthan’s rich past; it is one of India’s most impressive reception halls, showcasing the country’s biggest chandeliers. Meanwhile, in Jodhpur, lies the magnificent Jaswant Thada, a beautiful white marble memorial for Maharaja Jaswant Singh II, built in 1899. It boasts quirky domes, striking carved-marble lattice screens and portraits of Rathore rulers dating back to the 13th century.

Palaces

Rajasthan is home to some of the world’s most outstanding palaces, including the City Palace in Jaipur’s old city, made up of pretty courtyards, gardens and buildings. The palace’s outer walls were built by Jai Singh II but, as the palace has adapted over the centuries, the inside is an eclectic mix of styles, adding to its charm and character. Afterwards, be sure to discover the City Palace in Udaipur. With its facade overcome with balconies and towers, its grandiose stature looms over Lake Pichola. The City Palace’s construction began in 1599 by Maharana Udai Singh II (the city’s founder) and is the largest palace in Rajasthan.

Lakes

Alongside its fascinating history and striking palaces, Rajasthan also boasts magnificent lakes and mountain scenery. A particular highlight is Lake Pichola in Udaipur, which reflects the marvellous mountains like a mirror on the water’s surface. Boat trips are regular and offer a brilliant vantage point over the city, perfect for budding photographers. Just one kilometre north of Pichola is the stunning Fateh Sagar, an artificial lake that was dammed in 1678 by Maharana Jai Singh, and reconstructed by Maharana Fateh Singh in 1888. This tranquil lake is encompassed by the picturesque Aravalli Hills and is a glorious place for a day trip.

Forts

Rajasthan, or the ‘Land of Kings’, boasts an extraordinarily rich history; its medieval society witnessed many battles and, to protect it against ravaging armies, built many forts throughout the region. Today, some of these forts still stand, offering a brilliant insight into Rajasthan’s fascinating past. Amber Fort in Jaipur is an extensive palace complex built from vibrant yellow and pink sandstone, complete with glorious marble features. Alternatively, visit Mehrangarh Fort in Jodhpur, one of the most magnificent forts in India. Carved from the very rock it sits on, this alluring structure rises 120m above Jodhpur’s skyline.
