Spread over an expanse of 30 acres on the banks of Lake Pichola, The Oberoi Udaivilas offers the opportunity to indulge in rejuvenating spa therapies and undertake private Yoga, meditations and Pranayam sessions with the resident Yoga instructor or explore the city steeped in the romance of the historical region of the oldest living dynasty in the world.
