Rambha Palace

Overlooking the tranquil waters of Chilika Lake, Rambha Palace is a meticulously restored 200-year-old royal residence of the erstwhile Kings of Khallikote. Blending regal elegance with contemporary luxury, the heritage retreat offers sweeping lake views, stately architecture and an immersive experience shaped by Odisha’s royal, natural and spiritual heritage.

Built as the lakeside residence of the royal family of Khallikote, the palace has witnessed more than two centuries of Odisha’s history. Following an extensive six-year restoration, it has been thoughtfully revived while preserving its architectural grandeur, elegant courtyards and distinctive royal character. Its restored suites, graceful corridors and landscaped surroundings evoke the timeless charm of a historic royal residence while offering the comforts of a contemporary heritage retreat.

The palace’s location on the shores of Chilika adds a remarkable natural dimension to the experience. Guests can explore the lagoon through curated cruises, observe resident and migratory birds, enjoy spectacular sunsets, or unwind with personalised wellness experiences inspired by traditional healing practices. Nearby spiritual and cultural landmarks such as Kalijai Temple and Tara Tarini Temple further connect visitors with the heritage of southern Odisha.

Bringing together royal heritage, lakeside tranquillity, wellness, nature and spirituality, Rambha Palace offers an immersive way to experience the cultural landscape of Chilika and southern Odisha.
