Rohet Gargh, Rajasthan

Located 40 minutes south of Jodhpur, this lovely, family run fort is a great favourite for those who prefer to be out of the city and in a rural setting. This lakeside palace is the ancestral home of a local noble family, bursting with colour and history not to mention home to one of the finest Marwari horse stables in the state. This heritage hotel has been lovely nurtured and restored over the last fifteen years and is a haven of peace and tranquillity.

The palace has a myriad of beautifully appointed rooms and suites, and for a truly peaceful stay choose a room overlooking the serene lake. The rooms are all furnished in typical Rajasthani style with frescos, murals, mirrored cushions, cosy alcoves and local artworks and sculptures.

This pretty property is made up of cream coloured cupolas, open verandahs and well maintained gardens and lawns. There is an excellent pavilion lined swimming pool and the Rajasthani cuisine served here is truly delicious. Lunch is served by the pool and the upstairs dining tent makes for a romantic dinner setting with its low hung lanterns and embroidered ceiling.

The Tattva Spa offers lovely aromatherapy and Ayurvedic massages in a relaxing space located close to the gardens and sound of birdsong.

The family are lovers of the great outdoors and will take you out to visit the local tribal villages and local farming communities.  For the true adventurers spend your days on the magnificent Marwari horse safaris.  There are also bird watching excursions and royal picnics on offer as well.

Just half an hour away you will find the sister property of Mihir Garh.  A new build sandcastle of a boutique hotel, perfect to explore the surrounding sand dunes of the Thar desert.
