When it comes to destination weddings in India, Udaipur’s regal charm remains unmatched. From grand palaces to secluded luxury resorts, the city has become a favourite among celebrities and high-profile couples. Among the most talked-about celebrations was the wedding of badminton star PV Sindhu and Venkata Datta Sai, held at the breathtaking Raffles Udaipur.
As the couple marks their first wedding anniversary, the spotlight is once again on the lavish island resort that served as the backdrop for their intimate yet opulent celebration.
An island retreat in the heart of Rajasthan
Set amid the tranquil waters of Udai Sagar Lake, Raffles Udaipur is India’s largest island resort, spread across 21 acres of lush landscape. Reached by a scenic boat ride, the property offers sweeping views of greenery and the surrounding Aravalli Hills, creating an atmosphere of complete seclusion.
Located just about 20 minutes from Maharana Pratap Airport, the resort blends Indian and European architectural elements with modern luxury, making it a sought-after venue for weddings, retreats and high-end holidays.
