Six Senses Fort Barwara

Chauth Ka Barwara, India

Six Senses Fort Barwara

Set amidst the steppes of Rajasthan, this unique residence occupies a 14th-century fortress perched on a hill between dunes and lakes. The grandeur of the landscaped gardens, with their small central mausoleum, is striking from the moment guests arrive, and the air is fragrant with blossoms and alive with the hum of wildlife. Housed in the fort’s original chambers, suites blend frescoes, mirrors, and period features, telling the story of the site’s past history as a palace and its present incarnation as a luxury retreat. After a light lunch at Cortile, one might stroll beneath the arched walkways before heading out to watch the sunset over the Aravalli Hills. Finally, a yoga session in the ancient medieval tower helps relax the muscles, promising a deep, restful night’s sleep.
