Raas Devigarh
Delwara, near Udaipur
An eighteenth-century Rajput palace, stripped back to white marble.
The place
A palace in the Aravallis under an hour from Udaipur, taken back to bare marble and clean lines rather than restored to how it looked. The result divides people and we are on its side: the building is still entirely there, and the minimalism lets you see it.
What is there
- Thirty-nine suites, all in marble
- Pool with the hills beyond
- Spa
- Delwara village below, and its stepwell
- Under an hour from Udaipur
- Dinner on the ramparts
Getting there
Forty-five minutes from Udaipur.
