LUXURY SUITES
Encircled by miles of rolling countryside, Shahpura Bagh is the residence of the region’s ruling family who have built a reputation for the warmth of their welcome. A family member welcomes every guest on arrival, creating an authentic homestay feel. You’ll stay in a luxury suite – one of only 11 – with an elegant marbled bathroom, huge bed, graceful sitting area and views over the gardens. Totally unique in design, you can expect handmade kilims, old Kashmiri carpets, antique portraits and silk jacquard furniture.
Life at Shapura Bagh is unhurried, making it the perfect base from which to experience rural Rajasthan. You’ll be surrounded by luxuriant wetlands – a bird watcher’s paradise – where nature safaris, picnics, fishing and boating expeditions are part and parcel of daily life. Otherwise, there’s the opportunity for romantic candlelit dinners by the pool, yoga sessions and visits to local villages. Hammocks and charpoys are positioned in scenic spots to unwind and watch the spectacular sunsets.

The service we received from The Ultimate Travel Company was second to none. Tania took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and helped us explore every option clearly and thoroughly. Her first-hand knowledge of Kenya and safaris made a real difference – she explained everything brilliantly. The thoughtful extras, like the travel wallet and documents, were such a lovely touch – especially for someone who loves to travel well-organised! Thank you so much. We’ll definitely be back for future adventures.
