Taj Lake Palace, Udaipur

Conceived in romance, the palace was built in 1746 by Maharana Jagat Singh II, 62nd successor to the royal dynasty of Mewar believed to be descendants of the Sun God.

Set against the backdrop of the majestic Aravalli Mountains on one side of the lake, and lofty palaces on the other, the Taj Lake Palace spreads across a four-acre island an almost surreal vision in marble. The Royal Butlers descendents of the original palace retainers look after all contemporary comforts and ensure that all guests are treated like Royalty.

Guests can treat themselves to a wide range of relaxing and rejuvenating activities.

Jiva Spa offers a blend of international holistic body and beauty treatments, accented with traditional rituals of ancient Indian healing practices. A spa suite is also available.
