For a historic stay

  • Enjoying a secluded spot The Aodhi boasts gorgeous rooms with colourful mosaic bathrooms. Dine under the stars with the rhythmic tabla for an accompaniment.
  • Further afield, a reservation at the bougainvillea covered, 17th-century former fortress Rawla Narlai is to sleep amongst history. Some rooms feature original wall paintings; all are filled with antiques and local textiles, plus there is a gorgeous pool. An oasis in the heart of the Thar desert.

For tented luxury

  • Excellent value and novel tented accommodation which children will love, The Dera Kumbhalgarh provides an authentic desert experience. It is envelopped by verdant forest and surrounds a tranquil pool. There is no wi-fi - which in our opinion means true escapism.
