<p>Imagine a world where only the <strong>sea</strong> and your <strong>hammock</strong> exists. An hour away from <strong>Kochi (Cochin)</strong>, <strong>A Beach Symphony</strong> is paradise for the high-end beach bum who likes to <em>laze about </em>in style. The property offers four <strong>exclusive and private beach front cottages</strong>.<span id="more-222"></span> Designed in the typical <strong>Malabari</strong> style, the <strong>thatched huts</strong> have their own <strong>private verandahs</strong> with dining area, loungers and of course, the hammock under the <strong>coconut palms!</strong></p>
<p>The most valuable service offered by <strong>A Beach Symphony</strong>, is absolute peace. The philosophy of the staff seems to be -  nothing and no one gets in the way of a hard earned relaxation. Even meals are a chilled out affair here. Guests are requested to discuss their day&#8217;s cravings with the kitchen staff that dish it up at the private veranda anytime the guest desires. For those who wish it, the Hotel arranges <strong>ayurvedic massages, cycles, tuk-tuk tours to churches and temples</strong>, but in general, the hotel&#8217;s policy seems to be to let sleeping guests lie (in their hammocks).</p>

<p>Located 28 Km northeast of <strong>Udaipur</strong>, <strong>Devi Garh</strong> is a convenient and scenic 45 minute drive from the city. <strong>The fort</strong>, surrounded by lush green fields and mountains on three sides, overlooks the village of <strong>Delwara</strong>.</p>
<p>The <strong>18<sup>th</sup> century fort</strong> was once a part of the Kingdom of <strong>Mewar</strong>. The heritage property was extensively renovated to fuse contemporary motifs using traditional vernacular materials and building styles that create a harmonious, well balanced look, distinctively Rajasthani, yet entirely tinged with shades of the 21<sup>st</sup> century. Now a <strong>39 suite luxury hotel</strong>, <strong>Devigarh </strong>exudes a regal elegance that makes it a tempting destination for anyone. <span id="more-177"></span></p>
<p>A sprawling property interspersed with landscaped gardens and courtyards that hold secret hideaways in turrets, window casements and verandas, turned to lounging areas. Pleasant reading spaces that overlook the stunning rocky landscape. Every suite is a unique bejeweled extravaganza, with gold and semi-precious stones wrought into white marble. The grandest of these is the black and gold Shiva-Shakti themed <strong>Devi Garh Suite</strong>. It comes with a butler, dining and lounging alcoves, a semi-private black marble terrace pool, private sun deck with an outdoor dining area and Jacuzzi, this is the proverbial lap of luxury.</p>
<p>Enjoy a view of the Aravali Hills and nightfall in Delwara, from the hotel&#8217;s multi-cuisine restaurant, a place that offers something for every palate. Durbar, the bar with its extensive list of wines and spirits, is the best spot on the property, to watch day turn to dusk. And for those special occasions, the hotel has private dining areas that may be reserved by groups of varying sizes. Tiny starlight nooks for romantic candlelight dinners for honeymooners, a family meal on a veranda overlooking the village, a get-together around a fountain in an open air courtyard or a wedding banquet on the terrace or lawn for 400. Anything is possible at Devi Garh.</p>
<p>Take pleasures in the simple joys of the valiant Rajasthani people, try a camel safari, horse or bicycle ride through the rural countryside, fly a kite or let an astrologer give you greater insights into yourself. For hardier folk, there are excellent hiking trails up to the Aravali ranges. Find the Rashtrasena Mata temple 500 feet above sea level, and enjoy a panoramic view of the village and the surrounding land. Or perhaps the hotel&#8217;s shops can offer a few silken wares and oriental treasures, to delight the folks back home.</p>
<p><strong>Fact Sheet:</strong></p>
<p><strong>About Udaipur</strong></p>
<p>Udaipur is a <strong>City of Lakes</strong> or some call it ‘<strong><em>Venice of the East</em></strong>’.</p>
<p>Lake Pichola lapping against shimmering white buildings and the Aravalli hills closing in to savor the view.  Rajasthan&#8217;s  most romantic city is packed with princeliness and passion. Udaipur is raw Rajput dreaming, with <strong>palaces</strong><em>,</em><em> <strong>havelis</strong></em>, and <strong>temples</strong> at every turn.</p>
