Where centuries of Mewari regal craftsmanship meet contemporary ecological serenity on the waters of Lake Pichola.
Aurelia Grand Resort is a 5-star luxury heritage property set on a 14-acre private waterfront estate along western Lake Pichola, Udaipur, Rajasthan, India (GPS: 24.5854° N, 73.7125° E). The resort features 85 heritage-appointed rooms, 12 lake-facing royal suites, 4 world-class restaurants, 2 heated infinity pools, an authentic Ayurvedic wellness spa, and comprehensive event venues accommodating up to 650 guests.
Aurelia Grand was conceived as a living tribute to Udaipur’s golden age. Every archway, cupola (chhatri), and lattice window (jharokha) was hand-chiseled from local Rajasthani yellow sandstone and pristine white marble by eighth-generation Mewar master masons.
Rather than replicating historical palaces from afar, the property was designed from the ground up to weave royal courtyards, scented frangipani groves, reflecting lotus pools, and sweeping lake horizons into a singular, tranquil experience.
Arched colonnades, scalloped jharokhas, and hand-painted miniature frescoes.
Direct private boat jetty access connecting directly to the City Palace ghats.
Preserving the delicate ecology of Lake Pichola and the Aravali ecosystem through conscious luxury practices.
All lake transfers and sunset excursions utilize whisper-silent solar-electric barges with zero emissions and zero wake disturbance.
Advanced rainwater harvesting and state-of-the-art bio-filtration nourish our 14 acres of gardens without drawing from municipal reserves.
80% of our organic produce, grains, and artisanal dairy is sourced directly from sustainable smallholder farms in Udaipur and Mewar valleys.
