Amanbagh is a modern maharajah’s palace, set near the town of Alwar about two hours drive outside the fabled Indian city of Jaipur. Situated on what was once the parched corner of the Rajastani desert that served as camping grounds for royal tiger hunts, it is now a lush oasis with marble pools and surrounded by the Aravalli Hills. And yet, this modern-day palace, humbly pays homage to the traditional architecture and design that has prevailed throughout its past.
There are 54 sandstone haveli-style structures at Amanbagh, each with either private courtyards, rooftop terraces or verdant little gardens. Starting at nearby 80 sqm, these are spacious but pool pavilions are like palaces with private gardens, scalloped archways and decadent marble bathrooms. Dining options include royal Rajasthani cuisine with western favourites served in an elegant dining room or al fresco on the terrace in the cool breeze from the surrounding hills.
Experience Amanbagh’s highlights with an open jeep safari accompanied by a nature guide to the Sariska National Park and see wildlife including tigers and over 200 bird species that flock here to the edge of the Sariska jungle. Nearby sites include the 16th-city of Bhahgargh and the lakes of Somsagar and Mansarovar. Other activities include village tours, meditation by a lake and a ‘Sunset Cow Dust Tour’. For relaxation there is a marble swimming pool and a beautiful garden to relax.
