"A palatial lakeside resort reached by a zero-emission boat to a private island in Udai Sagar Lake, where grand architecture and interiors feature hand-painted murals up to 16 feet tall, manicured gardens home to dozens of bird species, and a lavish spa. The 101 lake-view rooms showcase marble inlay and intricate woodwork, and the on-site Sawai Kitchen highlights regional heirloom recipes such as masaledaar bharwan kachhe tamatar and dhungaar murgh for guests eager to explore local Rajasthani flavors." - Jennifer Flowers
