Luxurious properties in India that are perfect for a destination wedding
It's never too early to start building a wedding mood board.
Planning a wedding, especially a destination wedding, is a herculean task. From deciding what kind of wedding you want, to getting there is a long, arduous journey. And the first step is picking the perfect venue. Whether it is overlooking the sea, surrounded by a forest, or even a royal Rajasthani hotel, we’ve rounded up a few options for you to pick from.
Ahilya By The Sea, Goa
This boutique beachside hideaway is tucked in a quiet corner of Goa overlooking Dolphin Bay. With just nine villas and two swimming pools (one designed for you to enjoy the sunrise and the other one to enjoy the sunset), it’s hard to pass up this venue. Especially if you want your wedding to be intimate, minimalistic, and, best of all, overlooking the sea.
Narendra Bhawan, Bikaner
The last residence of Bikaner’s Maharaja, Narendra Bhawan is all about royal Rajasthani vibes blended with inspirations from the art-deco movement. It boasts two large banquets for functions, a gorgeous open courtyard, and various lounge-style rooms for cocktails or an after-party. This palatial structure exudes classic-meets-contemporary, which is what makes it an ideal setting for an intimate yet elegant wedding.
