Check live rates & book on FlightGPTMementos by ITC Hotels, Ekaaya, is an ultra-premium resort set in the Aravalli hills north of Udaipur, near the temple village of Eklingji on the road toward Nathdwara. It belongs to ITC's luxury ‘Mementos’ collection and is built as a low-rise spread of 117 villas and suites across hillside terraces, with a strong emphasis on privacy, butler service and views over the valley and a nearby lake. This is a destination resort rather than a city hotel: guests come for the setting and the service, with sightseeing arranged as day trips. ITC's Responsible Luxury credentials and signature cuisine carry through, placing it among the more design-led luxury options around Udaipur.
The architecture draws on Mewar's royal aesthetic, and the resort layout is built around its pools, spa and a cluster of restaurants, with extensive grounds between the villas. The sense of arrival — coming up into the hills, away from the city — is a deliberate part of the experience.
The resort sits well outside Udaipur city, near Eklingji. Maharana Pratap Airport (Dabok) is on the southern side of the city, so the drive is roughly 50 km and around 75 minutes — longer than the city-centre hotels, which is worth planning for, especially for late arrivals. Udaipur's old town, with the City Palace and Lake Pichola, is about 22 km, a 35–40 minute drive. The pilgrimage town of Nathdwara, home to the Shrinathji temple, is around 22 km, and the historic Eklingji and Nagda temples are within a few kilometres, which makes the resort a natural luxury base for that temple circuit rather than a quick city break.
Accommodation is entirely villas and suites, which is part of what sets the resort apart. Entry categories are the Valley View and Lake View Villas at around 45 sq m, sleeping up to three; the Premium Villa is larger at about 63 sq m. Above these sit the Aravali and Mementos Suites — the Mementos Suite is roughly 127 sq m and sleeps up to six — topped by Presidential and Grand Presidential residences for the largest parties. Butler service runs across the resort, and the villas are spaced for privacy with valley or lake outlooks, generous bathrooms and private outdoor areas.
There is a full spread of restaurants and bars. Udai Pavilion is the all-day multi-cuisine venue; Kebabs & Kurries serves ITC's celebrated north-west frontier and Indian cooking; and Royal Vega is a vegetarian fine-dining restaurant in the brand's signature style. For drinks, The Rock Bar overlooks an infinity pool and the Aravali Lounge is a relaxed bar. Note that some restaurants close one day a week — typically Kebabs & Kurries and Royal Vega rotate a closing day — so it is worth checking schedules on arrival to plan dinners.
The wellness offer is a highlight: Kaya Kalp – The Royal Spa delivers ITC's traditional therapies, supported by a hydrotherapy retreat with a salt room, hammam, sauna and steam room — a more complete spa circuit than many resorts offer. The resort has an infinity pool at the Rock Bar plus a separate lounge pool and a fitness centre. Families are looked after with Ollie's Club, a supervised children's space, and the grounds and terraces double as banquet and event venues, with butlers and a Mementos Ambassador concierge on hand throughout.
The resort's location lends itself to a temple-and-heritage circuit. Eklingji's intricately carved Shiva temple and the Sahastra Bahu (Sas-Bahu) temples at Nagda are close by, while Nathdwara's Shrinathji shrine is a short drive north — a combination few Udaipur hotels can match for pilgrims. Udaipur proper — the City Palace, Lake Pichola boat rides, Bagore Ki Haveli and the hilltop Monsoon Palace — makes a full day trip. Back at the resort, the focus is on the spa, the pools, in-house dining and curated experiences such as heritage walks and private dinners arranged by the concierge.
Mementos by ITC Hotels, Ekaaya, suits luxury travellers who want a private, design-led retreat over a busy city hotel, pilgrims combining Eklingji and Nathdwara with a high-end stay, and multi-generation families using the larger villas and suites. Travellers who want to be within walking distance of Udaipur's lakefront, or who want a short airport transfer, should weigh the resort's out-of-town location — the trade-off for the seclusion and views is time on the road to and from the city.
