Kutch mandvi beach, Gujarat, India

Mandvi Beach is one of the finest deluxe camps situated along the 1666km long Gujarat coastline.

One of India’s best-kept secrets, the deluxe camp at Mandvi Beach is part of the private beach estate of the Maharaos (rulers of Kutch) which is completely safe, secured from outside visitors and privately-owned.

While the sun-kissed sands and warm tropical waters make Mandvi Beach a great holiday destination, Mandvi’s Palace is one of the grandest in Gujarat state and has a museum of princely heirlooms. The palace estate has been the location for filming many Bollywood Blockbusters.

Here, we offer you the opportunity to enjoy the beach, the palaces of Mandvi, the handicrafts and monuments of the rest of Kutch district, and birdwatching along the northern coast of the Gulf of Kutch including the flamingo-rich Mandvi creek while staying in the air-conditioned comfort of the royal-style tented deluxe camp with an old-world ambience and contemporary facilities.

Vijay Vilas Palace, Kutch, Gujarat, India

Vijay Vilas Palace, situated 8 km west of Mandvi, was constructed by Rao Vijayrajji in 1940. The palace was a summer retreat of the Maharao of Kutch.

Covering an area of around 700 acres, the palace has umbrella shaped domes along with cupolas in Bengali and Rajasthani architectural styles. The walls of the palace are decorated with hunting trophies and paintings dating back to the reign of Rao Vijayrajji.

he palace was built during reign of Maharao Shri Khengarji III, the Maharao of Kutch, as a summer resort for the use of his son & heir to the kingdom, the Yuvraj Shri Vijayaraji and is therefore, named after him as Vijaya Vilas Palace. The construction of palace started in year in 1920^[3] and was completed in year 1929.

The palace is built with red sandstone. It has all the elements of Rajput architecture and draws largely on the plan of palaces of Orchha and Datia. The central high dome on the pillars, the Bengal domes on the sides, the windows with colored glass, carved stone ‘jalis’, domed bastions at the corners, extended porch and other exquisitely stone-carved elements, make the palace worth visiting. The palace is set in the middle of well-laid gardens with water channels and marble fountains.

The carved stone works of Jalis, Jharokas, Chhatris, Chhajas, murals and many other artistic stone carvings, colored glass work on windows and door panels all have been done by the architect and craftsman from places like Jaipur, Rajasthan, Bengal and Saurashtra, and local Kutchi artisan community, the Mistris of Kutch and Suthars.

The mixture and mingling of architect and style of different regions of India, as such, can be distinctly seen in design & architect of the Vijaya Vilas Palace. The balcony at the top affords a superb view of the surrounding area. The tiny intricate windows gives one feeling to be out in open, through which cool sea wind passes out.

A closer view of gate, one can see name plate – Vijaya Vilas – on top of entrance.

The campus also houses a Chhatri of Vijayaraji, who died in 1948, to whom this palace was very dear.
