Vijay Vilas Palace or Vijaya Vilas Palace is one of the famous palaces located on sea-beach of Mandvi in Kutch, Gujarat, India. The palace is built with red sandstone. It has all the elements of Rajput architecture. 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 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.
