Udaipur, India – October 2025:
Across the shimmering waters of Udai Sagar Lake, Raffles Udaipur unveils a Diwali celebration unlike any other — a sublime blend of culture, serenity, and refined indulgence set amidst the tranquil embrace of nature.
Spread across a private island surrounded by the Aravalli Hills, Raffles Udaipur transforms into a sanctuary of light and joy during the festive season. The resort curates a soulful journey through wellness rituals, cultural encounters, and culinary experiences that embody the essence of festive luxury.
Mornings begin with yoga by the lake or a leisurely breakfast overlooking the glistening waters, while afternoons invite guests to unwind by the infinity pool or savour a traditional Rajasthani thali at Sawai Kitchen. The evenings come alive with high teas at The Writers Bar, starlit festive dinners, and musical performances that capture the rhythm of Rajasthan’s cultural heritage.

Every corner of the island glows with the spirit of Diwali — from diyas and rangolis adorning the corridors to the soft melodies floating across the lake. Guests are enveloped in Raffles’ signature warmth and personalised butler service, creating moments that linger long after the festivities end.
Guests can also explore Raffles Lakeshore Udaipur, the resort’s serene extension by the water, offering elevated dining experiences and panoramic views that make every sunset feel eternal.
Here, every moment — from intimate candlelit dinners to golden reflections on the lake — invites guests to slow down, reconnect, and truly live the magic of the season.
