Quick answer: A wedding at The Oberoi Udaivilas Udaipur in 2026 realistically costs ₹3 crore to ₹8 crore+ all-inclusive. Room tariffs range from ₹1.2 lakh to ₹2.5 lakh per night, and the 90-room property is best suited for 80–200 guest weddings with intimate luxury focus. Oberoi Udaivilas is consistently ranked among the world's top hotels — the cost reflects that.
Set across 50 acres on the eastern shore of Lake Pichola, The Oberoi Udaivilas is the boutique alternative to the larger Taj Lake Palace and Umaid Bhawan. Where those venues lean grand-royal, Udaivilas leans refined-luxury. For couples whose priority is service excellence and an intimate guest experience over scale, this is the venue.
Why Couples Choose Udaivilas
- World-class service standards — consistently rated #1 in India by Travel + Leisure, Condé Nast Traveler, and World's Best Awards
- Lake Pichola location with private boat jetty and direct lake access
- 50-acre property — significant green space, private pools at suites, complete exclusivity
- 90 rooms — small enough for full-buyout intimacy, large enough for substantial wedding parties

FAQs
How many guests can Oberoi Udaivilas accommodate?
Sit-down events up to approximately 200 guests; standing receptions up to 300. Property is best suited for intimate 80-150 guest celebrations.
Is Oberoi Udaivilas more expensive than Taj Lake Palace?
Comparable per-night rates but Udaivilas is typically 10-20% lower at full buyout because of larger room inventory (90 vs 110 at Lake Palace) and operational simplicity (no boat-only access).
Can we have outdoor lakeside events?
Yes — lakeside lawn, jetty area, and poolside venues all available. Lake views are integral to every event space.
What's the minimum booking requirement?
Typically minimum 2-night stay + 60-room minimum for wedding events. Full buyout (90 rooms) is recommended for exclusivity.
How does this compare to Oberoi Rajvilas Jaipur?
Different aesthetics — Udaivilas is lakeside-luxury, Rajvilas is tented-luxury in walled-garden estate. Pricing is comparable; Rajvilas has 71 rooms vs Udaivilas's 90.
Are children allowed at Oberoi Udaivilas weddings?
Yes, but the property's adult-focused luxury experience means most weddings here have minimal children. Special arrangements (nanny services, child-friendly menus) can be arranged.
