Ayaan Resorts is an eco-resort spanning 15 acres near Udaipur, the City of Lakes. Inspired by the raw natural beauty of the site, the resort’s design takes a modern approach to vernacular architecture. With 50 rooms, a banquet hall, a spa, a restaurant, and a range of outdoor activities such as boating, meditation, hiking, ziplining, and camping, Ayaan Resorts offers a diverse and immersive experience.
Situated on steeply sloping rocky terrain, the resort boasts breathtaking 360-degree views of the Aravali Hills. The placement and footprint of the built structures aim to preserve the natural site features, minimizing grading and creating buildings that harmoniously blend with the environment. The design focuses on creating spaces that allow guests to appreciate the timeless beauty of the surroundings.
Upon arrival, guests are greeted by a reception area with a dramatic curved roof and a reflective pool, providing a contemplative viewing point of the picturesque setting. The landscaped lawn below is flanked by a moat, designed to channel rainwater to the nearby lake. The architects faced the challenge of planning a man-made lake, meticulously studying the topography and landforms to ensure proper water inflow and following water-shed analysis and ridge patterns.
The overall concept of Ayaan Resorts revolves around creating a functional eco-resort where tourism, weddings, recreation, and rejuvenation can take place in the lap of nature. The resort aims to offer an immersive and sustainable experience, allowing guests to connect with the natural environment while enjoying a range of activities and amenities.
