Amanbagh

At the foot of the Aravalli Hills in Rajasthan lies a peaceful haven nestled within an oasis of lush vegetation, where frangipani and palm trees cast their gentle shade. With powder-pink domes, arcades and shaded courtyards, this Mughal-inspired palace is naturally steeped in the history of the maharajas, on the very lands where they once hunted. Forty suites and pavilions open onto gardens and pools, blending contemporary design with traditional touches. At the heart of the estate, a 33m swimming pool offers cool respite amidst the play of light on the water. A stay is punctuated by excursions to explore a sanctuary for tigers, wildcats and sambar deer, and by quests for exquisite local fabrics. Local cuisine combines bold, spicy flavours blended with subtle sweetness.
