There are honeymoons, and then there are honeymoons that feel like they belong in a love story.
Udaipur has a natural talent for the latter. With shimmering lakes, the Aravallis rising across the horizon, and palaces steeped in centuries of royal heritage, the City of Lakes brings a certain grandeur to romance. Add a few days at Fairmont Udaipur Palace, and the honeymoon starts to feel less like a holiday and more like an experience designed around the two of you.
As the DWP Congress Host Palace Partner, Fairmont Udaipur Palace brings together the grandeur of Rajasthan, contemporary luxury, and a setting that feels made for slowing down after the whirlwind of wedding celebrations.
A Palatial Stay for the Newlyweds
After months of planning the wedding, the honeymoon is the moment to finally exhale. No timelines to follow, no decisions to make, and nowhere you need to be. Just time together, in a setting that makes doing absolutely nothing feel rather luxurious.
Set against the Aravalli Hills, Fairmont Udaipur Palace is home to 327 rooms and suites, each drawing inspiration from the heritage of Mewar while offering contemporary comfort. For couples looking to make the stay extra special, select accommodations feature private balconies, terraces, cabanas, and plunge pools, while the Jewel of Udaipur Suite offers a private terrace and plunge pool for an even more indulgent escape.
Wake up to the hills, linger over breakfast, and let the day unfold at its own pace. After all, there is no better time to master the art of taking it slow.
Your Spa Day Starts Here
If there is one thing every newlywed deserves after the wedding, it is a little uninterrupted relaxation.
Fairmont Spa offers a tranquil retreat within the palace, with treatments for individuals and couples, along with a swimming area, steam room, and jacuzzi. Whether it is a massage for two or a quiet afternoon spent unwinding, the spa gives couples a chance to leave the wedding frenzy firmly behind.
For those who like to start the morning on a more mindful note, yoga sessions overlooking the Aravallis offer another way to slow down and soak in the surroundings.
And if the most ambitious thing you accomplish that afternoon is moving from the spa to the pool, consider the honeymoon officially successful.
When Dinner Becomes a Date
Honeymoon dinners deserve a little more than “Where should we eat tonight?”
At Fairmont Udaipur Palace, couples have plenty to choose from. Zaikaa celebrates the flavours of Mewar, bringing the culinary heritage of Rajasthan to the table, while Bahaar – The Gastronomical Garden combines a beautiful garden setting with globally inspired cuisine.
For an evening with a little more edge, Dahaad draws inspiration from Rajasthan’s wild landscapes, while Sitara brings together cocktails, champagne, progressive jazz and views of the Aravallis.
At Alchemist, dinner becomes an experience of its own, blending an intriguing setting with an elevated culinary journey. Perfect for couples looking to make even an evening meal feel a little more memorable.
Then there is Dastaan, where food and storytelling come together through tea experiences, tastings, cooking sessions, mixology, and gin experiences.
The result is a honeymoon where even dinner can become part of the itinerary.
A Little Rajasthan, A Lot of Romance
Of course, a honeymoon in Udaipur should involve more than staying indoors, tempting as that may be.
Fairmont Udaipur Palace offers couples opportunities to experience the character of Rajasthan through cultural experiences, while the property’s setting makes it easy to take in the landscape at a slower pace.
For something more playful, couples can try pickleball, paddleball, or mini golf. There are outdoor pools for lazy afternoons, yoga for quiet mornings, and plenty of space to simply sit back and enjoy the Aravalli views.
The idea is not to fill every moment.
It is to have enough options that every couple can create their own version of the perfect honeymoon.
Beyond the Palace: A Little Udaipur for Two
Of course, a honeymoon in Udaipur should involve more than staying indoors, tempting as that may be.
Fairmont Udaipur Palace’s location also makes it easy to step out and explore the romance of Udaipur. Couples can take a sunset boat ride on Lake Pichola, wander through the grand City Palace, visit Jag Mandir, or soak up the heritage of Bagore Ki Haveli. And for a change of scenery, a drive through the Aravallis to Sajjangarh (Monsoon Palace) brings winding hill roads, sweeping views, and a beautiful setting for watching the sun go down.

Because the Setting Matters
A honeymoon is not just about where you sleep. It is about how the destination makes you feel.
And this is where Fairmont Udaipur Palace has a rather unfair advantage.
The palatial architecture, Mewar-inspired details, and Aravalli setting create the kind of atmosphere that makes ordinary moments feel elevated. A morning coffee becomes a view worth lingering over. An evening drink becomes a sunset ritual. Dinner becomes a date. And a few quiet hours together can feel like the most important part of the trip.
It is romantic without having to try too hard.
The wedding may have been the celebration everyone came to see, but the honeymoon is where the newlyweds finally get the moment to themselves.
At Fairmont Udaipur Palace, that moment comes wrapped in palace grandeur, Aravalli views, indulgent spa experiences, memorable dining, and the unmistakable charm of Udaipur.
For couples looking for a honeymoon that feels luxurious, romantic, and distinctly Indian, it is a setting that delivers on all three.
Because after months of planning the perfect wedding, the first trip you take together deserves to be pretty unforgettable too.
