Mementos by ITC Hotels, Jaipur
Jaipur, India
"An expansive all-villa luxury resort offering unmatched privacy, designed to feel like your own private Rajasthani kingdom for a multi-day wedding buyout."
Mementos by ITC Hotels, Ekaara, Jaipur is not just a hotel - it is a sprawling 24-acre estate of 130 private villas, terraces and vast event lawns inspired by the traditional stepwells (baoris) of Rajasthan. Located on the Delhi-Jaipur highway in Kukas, this all-villa property is purpose-built for exclusive wedding buyouts, where the entire resort becomes a private kingdom for the couple and their guests. Each event - haldi, mehendi, sangeet, baraat, pheras, reception - unfolds in a different corner of the property, from the massive Shahi Bagh lawn (2,500+ guests) to the modern Crystal Pavilion and the intimate private villa courtyards. Backed by ITC's legendary hospitality and culinary brands (Bukhara, Dum Pukht, Royal Vega), it is one of the most sought-after big-fat-wedding venues in North India.
