RAWLA NARLAI, RAJASTHAN

Fine boutique hotel created from a palatial hunting lodge

The perfect stopping point between Jodhpur and Udaipur, Rawla Narlai is a much-loved heritage property, hidden away in an especially beautiful corner of the Aravalli Hills.

Set at the heart of a typical Rajasthani village, this 17th century country manor is a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. It was formerly the hunting lodge of Jodhpur’s reigning royal family, who have since meticulously restored the property to its original grandeur. Scattered throughout the grounds are 32 charming rooms and suites, all decorated in a traditional Indian style. The nearby stepwell provides an innovative dining space where both local delicacies and international fare is served.

Surrounded by lush forests and scenic countryside, the Rawla Narlai makes a great base for walking, riding and leopard safaris. Those feeling active can enjoy a sunset walk up neighbouring Elephant Hill (a 350-foot high granite monolith) where you’ll find a large elephant statue alongside an impressive panorama over area’s lakes, fields and forests. Return to the hotel for a romantic stepwell dinner by torchlight.
