Located on the banks of Lake Pichola in Udaipur, Udaivillas is spread over 30 acres. It is a perfect blend of the rich Rajasthani heritage which reminds you of your mighty Rajputana culture and the extreme luxury and Hospitality of the Oberoi Group of Hotels. Dining at the banks of Lake Pichola at night treated with a specially curated menu by Oberoi’s chefs is one of a kind experience.
3. Ananda in Himalayas, Rishikesh
Ananda in the Himalayas, Rishikesh is the resort where a monk who had sold his Ferrari would go to. Ananda is an experience for immersing one’s soul and getting in touch with their spiritual side. Daily Yoga and mindfulness sessions by some of the best in the industry are a truly enriching experience. Do not mistake Ananda’s spirituality for its austerity as it is one of the most luxurious resorts in the country today. Coming at a hefty cost Ananda would let you meditate at the banks of River Ganga surrounded by some of the most high-profile people in the country enjoying award-winning Hospitality services. So everyone who is feeling a little lost due to this pandemic should plan a visit to Ananda to recharge themselves.
