ZANA Lake Resort, Udaipur was the kind of experience that lingers long after you’ve checked out — calm, indulgent, and deeply restorative. Nestled by the picturesque Udai Sagar Lake, the resort feels like a hidden gem tucked away from the chaos of the city, yet only a short drive from Udaipur’s main attractions.
From the moment I stepped in, I was struck by the sense of serenity that surrounded the property by the still waters, the soft breeze, and the distant hills painting a postcard-perfect view. My room opened up to a stunning vista of the lake, framed by swaying trees and the golden glow of sunset. The interiors were elegantly done modern yet warm, with every little detail designed for comfort. Whether I was sipping my morning tea by in the balcony or watching the sky shift hues at dusk, the view from the room was nothing short of breathtaking. It was the kind of view that instantly slows you down and makes you appreciate stillness.
On the first evening, the team at ZANA arranged a beautiful dinner by the poolside and an intimate setup. The tables were elegantly done up with candles, flowers, and soft music floating in the background, creating the perfect mood for a romantic evening. The sound of the water, the twinkle of fairy lights, and the personalised service made it feel truly special. The food itself was exquisite — a blend of comforting local flavours and global touches that felt both familiar and refined.
The next day we set off for a day excursion to the sacred Shrinathji Temple in Nathdwara, thoughtfully arranged by the resort. The experience was peaceful and culturally rich, and on returning, we were greeted with warm smiles and an elaborate meal already waiting for us. It felt like coming home — the kind of hospitality that makes you feel cared for in the smallest ways.
That evening, we decided to keep things quiet and relaxed — no elaborate plans, just a simple dinner at the Mayfair restaurant, where the interiors are as charming as the food. The soft lighting, neoclassical touches, and floor-to-ceiling views of the lake made it an equally beautiful setting for a laid-back night.
Every aspect of ZANA reflects understated luxury, from their in-room check-in to the attention to detail in their experiences. The infinity pool overlooking the lake, the peaceful gardens, and the scenic lawns add to the charm, making it a place where time seems to slow down.
ZANA Lake Resort isn’t just a stay, it’s an experience that soothes, pampers, and stays with you. It’s where modern comfort meets soulful hospitality, and where every sunrise over the lake reminds you what stillness truly feels like.
