OBEROI UDAIVILAS: best luxury hotel in India (phenomenal!)

Join me on a full tour of The Oberoi Udaivilas, the most amazing five star resort in India. The property is spread over 50 acres on the banks of Udaipur's Lake Pichola, on the 200-year-old hunting grounds of the Maharana of Mewar.

Thank you for filming our favorite project so beautifully. Nimish & Myself his wife and partner in our firm Abhikram designed this hotel, totally based on Mewari Architecture and its elements, which we and our office studied in depth with full support of Mr P R S Oberoi. We have designed 120 arches based on the Mewari principles of design. Revived 21 dying crafts, which are now flourishing, employed 300 highly skilled Craftpersons for 3 yrs and a couple of thousand other local artisans and Labour for 2.5 years.

It looks like a fairytale. What an incredibly beautiful place.

I was fortunate to stay at Udaivilas a decade back. No question (like all Oberoi properties) it is spectacular, if a little 'Disney' interpretation of India. For a fraction of the cost you can stay in an authentic Haveli's closer to Udaipur, with equally stunning lakeside views and more charm that feel more connected to the real India. For far more elegant luxuary, I would recommend staying 30 min from Udaipur at the magnificent Devi Garh, a walled palace converted into a spectacular hotel. Whilst you will not get a view of Lake Pichola, the rural views of the Aravalli hills are impossibly beautiful.

I have very fond memories of my stay here. It IS phenomenal. Hands down the best RESORT in India. There was not a spec of dust on any surface at the Udaivilas, and it is palatial. The Candle room is a great directional feature of the hotel as it is very easy to get turned around because of the massive size of the property. I had never stayed at a hotel where people were stationed outside the rooms in case guests wanted their pillows fluffed. I remember sunning at the pool, and everytime i got up to swim, my towel was changed or re-arranged on my chair before i returned. The service is unmatched (as is true with so many hotels in India.) The staff was superb, as were the very spacious rooms with generous (and private) outdoor spaces (the views from the pools (three in total)) and outdoor spaces are stunning. One thing I will always remember are the amazing toiletry items: the lotion had the best scent of any I had ever used! The lighting is breathtaking all over the property, and allows a remarkably different experience between day and night. The RAAS in Jodhpur and The Narendra Bhawan in Bikaner are two of my other personal favorites for unforgettable stays in India

one of the best in the world ... rather than money and luxury, i think oberoi has offered an indian nostalgic experience to the guests ..its a living museum ..and i loved the food, the ambience and the arhitecture ... one thing i got inspired from this, ,is that we indians should adopt our traditional architectural styles and implement it in our modern buildings all across india ....

One word sums up this property ... Serenity. As I viewed this presentation, I kept thinking that someone who has experienced a sentinel event would do well to rest and regroup here. I believe this property would shoulder their pain, revitalize them as best as it could, and give them the strength to carry on. Namaste. 🙏

For almost 20 years now, Oberoi Lombok has been my favorite hotel. The setting is exceptional, the infinity pool is breathtaking. All room categories offer great comfort. The very loyal staff offer a very high quality service but also with a lot of warmth.

So I have actually stayed here and the experience of being here is one you can’t forget. The property is huge, the staff is so welcoming and ensures that you have the best stay. The food is amazing. As someone from Udaipur, you feel closer to your own heritage and culture here because it’s constructed that way. There is a stretch of walk area that was not in the Video on which one side is the lake and one side is a pond and it feels heavenly in the evening time. The rooms are great and the bathroom is oh my god. And the plantation in the whole property gives it a unique splash of colour that is unmatched and the numerous pools or fountains or water works are breathtaking. I literally cannot stop talking about this place. If you ever have a chance to visit this, you better grab that.

Staying at Oberois Udaivilas back in 2013 was just outstanding. One of the most premier hotels worldwide.

[dermudejoe]

Even on this channel, it is striking how generous the space for the guests and how opulent the interior is. Amazing.

*Udaipur is one of the most mesmerising cities in India*

[palaks]

Fun fact, if you get up early enough you can find peacocks dancing near the outskirt gardens and it’s spectacular

I didn’t know places like this existed 😳 thank you for your videos 🙏🏼

[adirox]

How nice of him to ask.. have you ever stayed at udaivillas.. where as I cant even afford to have lunch at this place. May be thats why we watch his videos... to see and experience places which we know we cant do in our own lives.
Keep doing the good work.. really appreciate your vlogging skills.. especially the background music.

Truly a wonderful gift for a 50th wedding anniversary present from our son and daughter in law.I will never forget the Oberoi At Udaipur.It was just glorious in every way I could imagine.

[kimieharufumi]

What I like the most from oberoi is their garden. It's beautiful.
Wonderful video like always.👍🏻

[yvrrtw]

Stayed here in 2005 and not much has changed since. Will definitely go back to Udaivilas next time I go to India.

[juliason]

I can feel the Indian soul and spirit !!!

[sachinsohani]

I can surely and do take a pride to be an Indian and an esteemed pride in mentioning that Udaipur, Rajasthan मेरा ननिहाल है और यह जगह लेक पिछोला मेरे मामा साहब के घर से बस कुछ ही दूरी पर है। Truly appreciate your efforts of uploading this video. I feel blessed to watch this enigmatic location. I can keep watching these enigmatic locations over and over again.
