Nestled in the hills just 45 minutes from Udaipur airport, RAAS Devigarh is a wildly unique luxury retreat housed in a 15th-century fort. With 39 individually designed suites, this boutique hotel is a perfect blend of ancient history and modern comfort. Guests can relax by the pool, enjoy daily yoga sessions, or indulge at the resort’s full-service spa. There’s one main restaurant offering both Indian and Western fare, and the Durbar Bar (yes I said “bar” twice), with its double-height ceilings, is the perfect spot for an evening cocktail as you soak in the history of the place.
The hotel is ideal for travelers looking to slow down and savor a slice of Rajasthan’s heritage without sacrificing luxury. From the intricate frescoes and woodwork to the sweeping courtyards and garden suites, this place feels like a living museum you actually get to sleep in. While there’s plenty to explore within the fort’s high walls, the nearby town of Delwara offers additional cultural activities like ancient temples and local crafts—just in case you get tired of lounging by the pool.
This place is definitely for the luxury maven or history buff who’s seeking something a little different. It’s not about action-packed itineraries or nearby nightlife here. It’s about embracing the quiet grandeur of the fort and letting the world slow down for a bit.
