Umaid Bhawan Palace

Home of the erstwhile Jodhpur royal family and currently the world’s sixth-largest private residence, the palace has one thing in common with the iconic Taj Mahal at Agra—the palm court marble used in its construction. Perched on Chittar Hill, the highest point in Jodhpur, Umaid Bhawan Palace inspires with exotic views of the historical Blue City, vast sand dunes, and intimidating Mehrangarh Fort. The palace is conveniently located 20 minutes from the airport, close to the main shopping areas, and the Balsamand and Kalyana lakes.

Pamper yourself with rejuvenating signature treatments and therapies at the Jiva Grande Spa, or soothe your mind and body with yoga and meditation.Take a heritage walk and relive a fascinating bygone era brought to life through majestic monuments. Soak in the original architecture of a fascinating bygone era and discover the rich history of a palace that has enjoyed actual royal company—Maharani BadanKanwar of Jodhpur having lived here.

One of the best hotel experiences ever. The staff and hospitality were as amazing as the location and beauty of the palace.
Hello- I was there the year for Holi. There was a wonderful dance at the ceremony where men were dancing and beating sticks in rhythm. Could you please let me know the name of this type of dance? The entire celebration was AMAZING! I had a particularly good time joining the sick dance and would really love to know what this dance is called. Thank you kindly, Anne B.
