The 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.
Scenes from the Bollywood blockbusters Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam(This is the place where the romance for Aish and Salman was shot) and Lagaan, Commando as well as a number of Gujarati films, were shot in the palace.
