Amanbagh
Ajabgarh

Amanbagh is one of Ampersand's Top 10 Romantic Retreats, Top 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.
