The 18th-century whitewashed Taj Lake Palace rests in the middle of Lake Pichola, offering 360º views of Udaipur. Reach the man-made island via private boat and let your cares float away with round-the-clock butler service, spa, swimming pool and restaurants open only to resident guests. Ornately carved pillars and archways join with corridors and pavilions inlaid with stone and mirrors in the palace's interior. Rooms are refined and sumptuously decorated with vibrant colors, hand-painted motifs and quality Indian textiles. Some may recognize this property as it was featured in one of the James Bond films.
