Holi in India is celebrated every year around the last full moon of the Phalguna month, which marks the beginning of spring in the traditional Hindu calendar. In 2025, Holi falls on 13th and 14th March.
Where can I find the best Holi celebration in India?
The most famous Holi celebrations in India are concentrated in the north of the country. Delhi and Chandigarh tend to have more organised, ticketed events that offer a music festival-cum-colour party experience, while Jaipur, Agra and Shimla have large, colour-throwing street parties with dhol drummers and dancing. Because these cities are all within easy driving distance of each other, a multicity break over the Holi period is an attractive opportunity.
Book a stay at The Oberoi Rajvilas for the best Holi celebrations in Jaipur. Voted Best Hotel in the World at the T+L World’s Best Awards 2024 and ranked among the best 5 star hotels in India, this luxury resort springs to life over Holi with colourful flower decorations, live DJ music, dhol drummers and traditional Rajasthani artists, plus an invitation to play Holi with the resort’s respectful team. Guest are also provided with white kurta suits, if required.
Plan a getaway to coincide with Holi 2025 and you could explore the Golden Triangle – Jaipur, Delhi and Agra - with Oberoi Exotic Vacations at the best 5 star hotels in India.
At The Oberoi Sukhvilas Spa Resort, New Chandigarh, Holi celebrations take place in the spacious courtyard at Anant Mahal restaurant. Herbal colours are used for safe, enjoyable fun. Post-Holi customised spa experiences – featuring a luxury hammam and aromatherapy massage with specially curated oils – are the perfect choice for deep cleansing. A special Holi buffet will be offered to all guests (at extra charge).
Stay at The Oberoi Sukhvilas Spa Resort in the Himalayan foothills and Wildflower Hall at 2,515 metres above sea level, and make the most of your Holi break with a specially curated Himalayan Retreat offer.
The vibrant, skin-friendly Holi celebrations at Wildflower Hall include eco-friendly coloured powder and fresh flowers. Festive drinks - including thandai - traditional sweets and Holi-themed in-room amenities are sure to make this a very special day.
Elevate your Holi experience with inclusive breakfast and spa credit when you book Himalayan Vacations at Wildflower Hall or The Oberoi Cecil, Shimla.
The Oberoi Rajvilas, Jaipur presents a daily showcase of cultural, culinary and family experiences. From onsite astrology and bangle making, to breakfast in the herb garden, yoga and even hot air balloon flights over Jaipur or tours around Jhalana Leopard Safari.
The Oberoi Sukhvilas Spa Resort is the ideal base to explore nearby Amritsar with a private helicopter flight. You could also recharge after the Holi celebrations with some tee time at Chandigarh Golf Course or tap into your adventurous spirit on a 4x4 drive in the neighbouring Siswan Forest.
As the spring bursts in the Himalayas, Wildflower Hall is the ideal location for forest walks, al fresco picnics and rejuvenating spa experiences, while a 3-course set lunch in the restaurant or afternoon tea in the atrium at The Oberoi Cecil provides the ultimate post-Holi relaxation.
Wishing you the very best Holi celebrations in India this year.
