Kerala
Ayurvedic massage on a backwaters houseboat
Zone out into bliss with a relaxing Ayurvedic treatment in the cooling ambience of a traditional houseboat. Sink into serenity on the canals of the Alleppey backwaters, bordered by thick palm cover and paddy fields. Switch off the phone, lay back on a chaise lounge at the open-air deck, savour exotic flavours of local dishes, sip refreshing coconut water and enjoy nothingness for a change.
Udaipur
Live a maharaja life in a lake palace
Indulgence from the moment you glide into one of the world’s most romantic hotels on a shikara boat. The 18th-century Lake Palace of Udaipur made of flawless white marble, floats on an island of its own on Lake Pichola. Antique artefacts, luxurious furniture, glass mosaic windows with ‘pinch-me’ views and open-courtyard dining redefine opulence. Sweet dreams are made of these.

Sip the world’s finest organic teas on an Assam tea estate
Check into a lavishly designed bungalow named after a variety of tea. Location? A 19th-century angling lodge lovingly converted into a classy boutique hotel. Dawn devoted to birding, mornings for endless tea tasting sessions and afternoons for rafting, safaris and stories from the British Raj. Tea estate living never felt better. Thinking of giving up the city for good, aren’t you?
