Devi Garh, Delwara, Rajasthan (“a slick, minimalist hotel 45 minutes outside Udaipur”), Fort Tiracol, Quepem, Goa (“the beauty of Portuguese colonial architecture and a perfect stretch of beach to yourself”) and?Surya Samudra, Pulinkudi, Kerala (“about as authentic as it gets without any compromises on comfort and luxury”). ? i-escape voted for:
