A SANCTUARY ON A LAKE
Welcome to Saket Loak
It is a great pleasure to welcome guests to newly opened SAKET LOAK - a 'Sanctuary on a Lake' - just 16 kilometres from Udaipur City Centre. The property has 8 beautiful rooms, all with majestic views of the water. The walls are crafted from raw stone and the floors from marble and greystone. Both artisans and labourers came from the local village - Little Madar.
The lake is a moving tableu of colour and a source of life for the local Tribal people. It supports birds as well as some local fishermen. Saket Loak's generous private balconies, dining hall, lounge and the large terraces afford unhindered views of the lake and the mountains that surround them. The lake is an ever present element in your experience.
The building has been aligned so as to avoid the harsh summer sun from entering the rooms while still capturing the warming winter sun.
The design, the materials used and the integration with the local Tribal community all speak to a broader philosophy:
to exist in harmony with the natural and cultural world that surrounds the villa.
Thus Saket Loak can manifest its most profound aspiration to be a Sanctuary on a Lake.

The rooms are designed to capture the winter sun while being protected from the summer's rays. All are equipped with the latest climate controls. The bathrooms are modern with contemporary designs.
The infinity pool gives the impression you are swimming across to a glorious mountain.
In the small details, Saket Loak shows its commitment to doing everything right.

Saket Loak is a perfect escape. I have spent a lot of time in India over some 50 years and this is one of the most beautiful and relaxed places I have been to. My wife and I ended up staying for over a month and leaving was very difficult for us. It's a very special place.

THE FOOD
Saket Loak has a commitment to using only the freshest local ingredients. As much as possible, meals are prepared from the wonderful soil of nearby farms.
All care is taken to cater for Western and special dietary requirements from a chef and kitchen staff with a passion for service and quality.
My husband and I have special eating requirements. Chef adapted his menu to produce wonderful, varied food. Each meal was nutritious and tasty. Then again, everything about Saket is superb.

THE WORLD AROUND YOU
Saket Loak is heaven - pure and simple. It is 15 kilometres from the centre of Udaipur but feels like another world.
It is a world defined by the timeless Aravali Hills that stretch out in the distance and the beautiful lake upon whose banks the Villa is perched.
The Villa provides a perfect vantage point to observe the local villagers go about their daily tasks: handwashing clothes, herding cows & goats and cutting the winter grass.
You are welcome to walk through the village or beside the lake and experience the warmth of the smiles from the local people to a simple greeting - 'Namaste' or 'Ram Ram'!!

It feels like I am coming home to the India of my youth.
