Top 10s logo 

Amanbagh is one of Ampersand's Top 10 Romantic RetreatsTop 10 Hotels in Rajasthan and Top 10 Aman Resorts in Asia.

Amanbagh is a lush and peaceful sanctuary tucked into the starkly beautiful Aravalli Hills of Rajasthan; a contemporary Mughal fantasy steeped in serenity, surrounded by palms, eucalyptus groves and fruit orchards. Housed within a rose-hued walled compound, it channels the opulent grace of India’s royal past while offering every comfort of the present.

Built from pink marble and sandstone, this ethereal palace feels as if it’s been carved from the landscape itself. The property comprises 22 Haveli Suites and 15 Pool Pavilions, all generously proportioned and exquisitely appointed with domed ceilings, hand-carved jaali screens and deep soaking tubs - the kind of rooms you enter and never want to leave. Set among manicured lawns and reflected in tranquil pools, the atmosphere is one of near-monastic calm.

At the heart of Amanbagh is the graceful three-storey main building, crowned with domes and colonnades. The ground floor houses the Restaurant, where seasonal menus highlight organic produce grown in the hotel’s kitchen garden, paired with regional Indian dishes and classic Western fare. Opposite, the Salon Bar is an inviting space for quiet cocktails and conversation. Upstairs, the Library and Library Terrace offer intimate spaces to read, dine or take in the moonlight under the vast Rajasthani sky. The Rooftop Terrace serves up sweeping views over the surrounding hills, best enjoyed with a sunset lassi or a chilled glass of wine.

Beyond the main building lie extensive landscaped grounds, home to a majestic 33-metre swimming pool, a serene 12-metre wading pool and the tranquil Aman Spa. Treatments blend traditional Ayurveda with modern wellness rituals and yoga or meditation takes place in shaded corners of the garden. For those seeking a deeper immersion, Amanbagh offers transformative multi-day wellness immersions, with tailored nutrition, spa therapies and guided practice all curated to personal goals.

Yet Amanbagh is as much about cultural connection as it is about quiet retreat. The camp’s signature Cow Dust Tour is a gentle, golden-hour safari through the surrounding villages, following herders and their cattle on their return from the jungle, a magical glimpse of rural life lit by the haze of dusk and the shimmer of saris. Other excursions include visits to the 17th-century Ajabgarh Fort, the Baba Kapoor Shah Mosque and the evocative ruins of Bhangarh, a hauntingly beautiful deserted city filled with crumbling palaces, temples and stepwells.

Whether you’re here to explore, to heal, or simply to exhale, Amanbagh offers the perfect retreat, a place where time slows, nature soothes and every detail whispers of grace and grandeur.

Please note: Amanbagh is closed from 1st June to 31st July each year during the monsoon season.

Client Testimonials

I had a very lovely time and was looked after splendidly. My first visit to India could not have been better, save for being longer! But I shall return at some point and I shall look to you to make the arrangements.
- Matthew Nicklin, North India
Difficult to choose the highlight of the trip, can’t choose between… 1) Taj Mahal & Oberoi Amarvilas. 2) Ranthambore. 3) Lake Palace. We have to say a particular thank you for selecting Parmod as our driver. He is a delightful and kind man who took our holiday and our enjoyment as his responsibility. Thank you for putting together such an amazing trip for us. The balance of city and rural destinations was perfect for us and the variety of rooms and hotel types brilliant. Our driver and guides also added so much to the trip with their knowledge of India’s history and culture and their willingness to discuss it both from a professional and personal angle.
- Carruthers family, North India
We have just returned back from a wonderful trip. Thank you very much for organising everything. The transfer was excellent – for once they had perfect car seats. The villa was lovely, just what we needed and the hotel had helpfully put us as far away as possible from everyone else. The breakfast buffet was the best I have ever seen – and I am slightly obsessive over breakfast!! There was an incredible choice, something for everyone and so beautifully presented. A real highlight of the trip. Thank you again for sorting everything - and at such short notice!
- Redmayne family, Phuket
Without question, you put together the best trip I have ever taken. We were shown around like visiting dignitaries, the hotels were fantastic and the itinerary was just right. Everybody I know will hear about how amazing Ampersand is!
- Leslie Siben, India
Getting to Amanpulo from Manila was very simple and the beach was the most beautiful I’d ever been on; pristine white sand, not a single piece of rubbish in sight. You get your own solar powered golf buggy to drive around resort (and a butler at request). The views from the Hillside Casita were spectacular!
- Mr Wyburd, Philippines
We really enjoyed the trip and were happy that we squeezed so much into a few short days. The Burmese people were lovely and the sites were fantastic. We really enjoyed the balloon ride and would highly suggest it to others in the future. The trip went super smoothly and a good time plus learning happened for all. Yangon was nice as the Strand was quite amazing and we of course loved the giant gold temple. Many thanks for all of your help and look forward to future travel with you.
- Wallace Family, Burma
We had a wonderful holiday - everything was perfect. Thank you for helping us to make a thoughtful plan to enjoy and make most out of our trip. The places we visited, the guides, the transportation and driver, the hotels selected... Everything was great!
- Jaime Benitez, South India
Ballyfin was great - we loved it! Best things were the amount of space, it felt like you had the whole place to yourself, the history of the house, and the staff. We'd definitely recommend it. Thanks very much for all the help getting it booked!
- Mr Wyburd, Ireland
I thought the Ampersand team was outstanding. We couldn’t have hoped for anything more.
- Mr Geoffrey Johnson, India
Ampersand provided a bespoke and flexible holiday, tailored to my every whim. Their highly professional staff had only one goal which was to arrange an exceptional holiday and some unforgettable experiences in India. I have no hesitation in fully recommending them and they will be the first company I approach in the future - 10/10
- Anonymous, India
Difficult to articulate just how good the service from you and your team really was. We know you will continue to do well and hope we have the chance to seek your assistance again before long.
- Mr & Mrs Manson, North India
I barely know where to begin... though a sincere 'thank you' would be the best. You have organised this trip perfectly. May was an inspiring and delightful companion in Myanmar – thoroughly professional and friendly at the same time. My accommodation throughout has been superb, especially The Governor's Residence and The Mandarin Oriental. The view from the cottage at Inle Lake was beautiful and I loved every moment of being there. And here I am now on the last leg of this extended holiday at my favourite place. I could stay here for ever, the peace, silence and surroundings all amazing, plus the people and the whole aura of Vana. Thank you for much, and I look forward to speaking to you on my return.
- Ms Margulies, Burma, India & Thailand
Ampersand’s preparation, attention to detail and interaction before and during our trip show exactly why good travel agents have a role in today’s internet booking age. They were a delight to deal with!
- Mr David Wallace, North India
So many highlights to choose from! The hotels were amazing but Maya Villa was a highlight… I loved just hanging out in the hammock reading my book and watching the peacocks chase the cows!
- Krista Weir, Sri Lanka
Everything you did for us whilst we were away was hugely appreciated, and Ampersand has been exemplary in every way. I'll always recommend you!
- Mr Richard Stoughton, Sri Lanka
I would recommend Ampersand without any hesitation!!! The best travel agent that I’ve ever had. Everything – from the individual care and attention in planning the trip, through to the efficiency of the agents on the ground in India – was handled brilliantly. An absolutely first-class service all round!
- Matthew Annable, Rajasthan, India
