7. On A Babymoon, At Raffles Udaipur

The joy of expecting your little one quickly comes with the realisation that life, as you know, is about to transform forever. But before that, there's a precious window of time to slow down, indulge, and soak in those last few moments with your partner before everything gets beautifully chaotic.

For Esha Amin, booking her babymoon at Raffles Udaipur was a decision she knew was perfect from the moment she arrived. Raffles Udaipur—a luxurious oasis that wraps you in comfort as soon as you step onto its private island—offers the ideal getaway. It’s far enough to feel like a true escape, yet close enough to avoid the stress of long flights and international travel. "I just wanted to relax in a stunning, comfortable place without going too far from Mumbai, and when we discovered Raffles Udaipur, it was love at first sight," Esha shares. "The idea of lounging in luxury without the exhaustion of flights or layovers instantly drew us in.”

Comfort Above Everything

A stunning palatial architecture surrounded by the calm waters of Udai Sagar Lake, the luxury at Raffles Udaipur, isn't just in the sheer expanse and opulence of the hotel, but in the little thoughtful touches that make you feel genuinely cared for. When you're pregnant, comfort is non-negotiable and Raffles Udaipur takes your comfort to an entirely new level. “From the moment we arrived, our butler made us feel like royalty, anticipating every need and being especially considerate of my pregnancy,” shares Esha.

As soon as you arrive, you are asked to leave all your worries behind and are greeted with a special babymoon cake-cutting ceremony. Your personal butler, having prepared everything in advance, ensures that every detail of your stay reflects you and your partner’s preferences.

Vibrant blue and pink balloons, a "Baby Moon" banner, and colourful floral arrangements welcome you into a suite that feels like home. To add a more personalised touch, you will find your room adorned with pictures of children, along with personalised videos and frames. “Our suite had a cute customised dessert platter waiting for us, a small film of our journey together, a pregnancy sleep pillow, dark chocolate and munchies for midnight cravings,” Esha recalls fondly.

The pampering continues throughout your stay, with the butler going above and beyond to satisfy your cravings and curate a turndown service with inspiring quotes about parenthood and handwritten notes on what to expect during pregnancy.

An Experience to Remember

The highlight of your babymoon at Raffles Udaipur is undoubtedly the series of exquisitely curated experiences crafted just for you and your partner. Your itinerary is prepared in advance, recommending engaging activities that are close to nature. Set in the lush gardens of the Temple of Aphrodite, you can enjoy a babymoon picnic where every detail—from the plush blankets and elegant table settings to the carefully selected gourmet treats—is designed to bring you joy. The experience continues with a lakeside high tea at the Belvedere Point, where you and your partner can savour delicious treats as you watch the sun set overlooking the Udai Sagar Lake and Aravali Ranges, all tailored to your personal preferences. Reflecting on her babymoon, Esha shares, “Every meal was an experience unto itself, with unique setups and attention to my food preferences. I loved the babymoon picnic, the lakeside sunset high tea, and the prenatal massage.”

Wellness for the Mom-to-Be

Pregnancy brings a whirlwind of emotions—excitement, tension, and everything in between. As your body works hard to nurture a new life, those aches and pains can really add up, and a Prenatal Massage at the Raffles Spa is just what you need to melt away the stress. Your butler will coordinate with the spa team to provide a range of wellness services, all designed to provide comfort and ease during your pregnancy. The spa’s tailored massages and meditation sessions will leave you feeling revitalised and gently ease those muscle strains and tensions.

Every treatment at the Raffles Spa, from facials to holistic therapies, is carefully curated to make sure you walk away feeling deeply relaxed and completely pampered. Furthermore, in the culinary realm, the chef personally engages with the guest to discuss their cravings and allergies, crafting personalised dishes to ensure a satisfying and delicious dining experience.

Tips for Couples Travelling on a Babymoon

“For first-time parents-to-be, a babymoon is a must-do, but flying abroad might not always be the best option because of anxiety, turbulent flights, or long delays. Instead, consider serene, stunning properties closer to home that offer exceptional spa and butler services," suggests Esha.

She shares a few tips to make your babymoon as enjoyable as possible:

? Pack Comfortably: Choose day and evening outfits that are weather-appropriate and comfortable.

? Footwear Matters: Bring stylish flats and sneakers to keep your feet happy.

? Accessorize: Hats, scarves, and other accessories can help you look and feel fabulous while capturing beautiful memories.

? Health Essentials: Don't forget compression socks, a doctor’s consent letter for any necessary flights, and your regular and emergency medications.

Embrace this special phase of your life with relaxation and pampering. Your babymoon is a time to celebrate, recharge, and create cherished memories before the exciting adventure of parenthood begins!
