each one a distinct variation on an eclectic style that includes traditional and contemporary influences and effortlessly combines hand-crafted décor with tastefully modern luxuries.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Set in quiet Village Manai, the retreat offers an agricultural escape in the Thar Desert, an hour north of Jodhpur.
The rooms
Named after classical Indian ragas, ten expansive cottages feature hand-embroidered Gujarati textiles, wood furnishings, and private pebble courtyards for stargazing.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The heated outdoor pool is framed by young date palms and timber pergolas beside the terracotta pavilions.
At the table
Menus draw on chemical-free produce harvested across the estate, and the bar mixes botanical cocktails with garden herbs.
How it began
Purchased in 1989 as a family aloe vera estate, the land was revitalized into an organic desert farm using drip irrigation.
