LUXURIOUS COTTAGES
The original Lakshman Sagar was built to impress with its opulent white towers and colonnades. Today, the eco-use of indigenous materials allows each luxurious cottage to settle serenely into its rural habitat. The property has been meticulously designed following the ‘zero kilometre’ principle. Building materials and furnishings are sourced as locally as possible, whilst the cuisine represents the traditional food of the area. Each room opens onto a private splash pool carved out of granite rescued from local mining sites.
You will experience old fashioned opulence, though, from the deferential levels of service to the spa where you’ll be pampered with a range of traditional and modern treatments. Not to mention the richness of the game you’ll observe on your nature walks and safari expeditions to the Todgarh-Rawali Wildlife Sanctuary. Early morning yoga classes and dips in the striking, rock-cut swimming pool are also part of the experience.
