Rawla Narlai

Nestled amongst the Aravalli Hills and surrounded by forested hills and rocky outcrops is Rawla Narlai, the former hunting lodge of Jodhpur’s royal family. The Narlai village is located on the backroads between Jodhpur and Udaipur and this stylish boutique hotel is a wonderfully lavish bolt hole from which to explore Rajasthan’s beautiful countryside.

The hotel has retained its original architecture and is set within pretty, tranquil gardens. Beautiful frescoed walls, ornate wood and plasterwork, elegant pillars and Indian fabrics lend a lavish and regal feel to the rooms and suites.

Tickle your taste buds at the Jharoka Cafe which serves a blend of British and Mughal cuisine which can be enjoyed in the stylish dining room where the walls are adorned with royal portraits, or in the outdoor courtyard fringed by palm trees. For an extra special experience, guests can dine in a number of scenic outdoor locations and enjoy the flavours of India under the starry night sky.

For those who want to get out and about, there are a wealth of experiences on your doorstep from village walks and treks to leopard safaris and horse riding. Alternatively you can choose to enjoy a steaming cup of tea by the nearby lake as flocks of birds flit through the sky or relax with a spa treatment back at the hotel.
