The combination of the Six Senses brand and a spectacularly fortified 14th-century palace results in a degree of luxury…
“The nearly decade-long restoration of a 14th-century fort put sustainability front and center, with hidden solar panels and rainwater collection tanks.”
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Perched above the village of Chauth Ka Barwara, the fort sits just thirty minutes from wild tiger safaris in Ranthambore National Park.
The rooms
Suites feature draped canopies, smart technology, and soaking tubs, many opening onto private plunge pools or terraces looking toward the village.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
An Olympic-sized outdoor pool reflects carved sandstone pavilions and archways, lined with cushioned daybeds in the central courtyard.
The spa and gym
Housed in the historic Zenana Mahal palace, the expansive spa offers Ayurvedic treatments alongside a modern fitness studio.
Restaurant
The Cortile
Set in the central courtyard, tables surround sunken fire pits where musicians play traditional Rajasthani songs after sundown.
Positioned within the walls of a 14th‑century fort in Rajasthan, Six Senses Fort Barwara balances centuries-old architecture with quietly modern comforts.
At the table
Private candlelit dinners are served inside stone fort turrets, looking out across the ramparts under starry night skies.
How it began
A decade-long conservation effort revived this 14th-century royal fortress, meticulously preserving two palaces and two historic temples within its sandstone ramparts.
“It took almost a decade to transform this 700-year- old fort into Six Senses Fort Barwara—a 48-suite hotel and the brand’s first outpost in India.”
