In reality, India can be a very intense experience, but Amanbagh is the perfect antidote: a verdant oasis of mature palm, fruit and eucalyptus trees – and fantasy India at its best!

Set within a walled compound that was once the staging area for royal hunts, Amanbagh evokes the palatial elegance of the Moghul era. Its Haveli Suites and Pool Pavilions provide a sublimely tranquil base from which to explore the rich heritage of Rajasthan, India’s dramatic frontier region, with every detail taken care of by the impeccable staff (typical of Amanresorts). Built of pink sandstone and situated amongst the rugged Aravali ranges, it’s a remote spot that’s still well worth exploring. We’d particularly recommend the ruins at Bhangarh, an entire city built in the 1600s and deserted as the result of a magic spell!
