Key Highlights

A Private Screening Room

This room used to greet important visitors as a waiting area, and now it's become a private hangout spot for movies or game day. You'll find it just below the Darbar Bar in the Darbar Courtyard, open daily from 10 AM to 8 PM. Families love booking it for small celebrations or a quiet evening together. Just reach out to the palace concierge to lock in your time slot.

Yoga Sessions

Yoga here pulls from ancient principles centered on steadying the senses and quieting the mind. Sessions happen in peaceful corners of the property, often with hill views framing the whole practice. It fits naturally into the resort's bigger wellness picture, giving you real space to slow down and just breathe.

Ayurvedic Retreat

Every program starts with a consultation to figure out your individual Dosha and Prakriti before anything else happens. You can choose from relaxation, detox, de-stress, weight loss, or yoga-focused retreats, each one personalized under the guidance of an in-house Ayurvedic doctor. Treatments blend traditional therapies, herbal remedies, and a Dosha-based menu built to bring your body back into balance. Set against the Aravalli hills, most guests walk away feeling noticeably lighter than when they checked in.

More about this escape

Marwari horse murals share wall space with mirrored ante-chambers throughout this palace, and somehow the clean, minimalist interiors never feel out of place next to all that history. A stepwell-inspired pool sits at the center of the grounds, framed by gardens that open onto views stretching across Delwara village below. Ayurvedic wellness in Udaipur runs through much of what happens here, with treatments built entirely around your individual Dosha. Several restaurants scattered across the property serve up Indian, Western, and Asian dishes, and a good chunk of the produce comes straight from the palace's own organic garden. Beyond the walls, guided trips take you to nearby temples, forts, and even one of the last working examples of old Mewar water architecture. It all comes back to one thing: old-world Rajputana, updated just enough for comfort.

Good to Know

Temple Dress Code

Most temples require you to remove shoes and cover your shoulders and legs. Wear slip-on shoes and carry a light scarf so you are ready at every stop without any extra planning.

Cash for Markets

Many small vendors in Udaipur markets prefer cash over cards. Bring Indian rupees before heading out since card machines are not always reliable at smaller stalls and roadside shops.

Ayurvedic Meal Support

If you are doing the wellness program, let the restaurant know so meals can be prepared to match your treatment. The kitchen follows Ayurvedic food principles and can adjust dishes based on your Dosha.

Private Screening Room

The room below the Darbar Bar is open daily from 10 AM to 8 PM and books up quickly. Ask the concierge to reserve a time slot on your first day if you want to use it during your stay.
