Spa vacations are becoming more and more sought after for the nourishment they provide to the body, mind and soul. While a visit to a spa is great rejuvenation for the tired body, the experience can become exponentially better if the therapeutic treatment takes place in an exceptional setting.

Keeping this in mind and giving ambience just as much importance as the massages is Taj's Jiva Boat Spa in Udaipur.

The boat spa offers rejuvenating massages as you float in the middle of Lake Pichola, against the backdrop of the stunning Aravalli mountains. Modelled after the ceremonial barges of the House of Mewar, the unique spa experience at Jiva is carried out on a boat by combining ancient royal practices with Ayurvedic principles. The boat has a spacious air-conditioned double spa suite with a relaxation lounge, steam bath and shower. The suite opens to a sky deck, which offers a soak pool, lounging bed and a dining area with a view of the Aravallis.
