A paradisiacal property in the desert countryside, “Rawla Narlai” is one such treasure chest that enhances the luster of the heritage coterie. Tucked away amidst the Aravali’s, among the world’s oldest fold-mountain ranges, this one-time ‘Hunting Manor’ of the Jodhpur Royals now opens its doors to those on a hunt for blissful tranquility.
Today, this 17th century ‘Country Manor’, painstakingly restored to its original magnificence, caters to an exclusive clientele in its resurrected avatar of a boutique resort.
Ideally located between the popular cities of Jodhpur & Udaipur—a comfortable 2 hrs ride from both—‘Rawla Narlai’ makes for a most charming destination to stop & inhale the magic of rural Rajasthan while you get spoilt with our white-gloved hospitality.
THE RESORT
Ultra-luxe yet classically simple, the ‘Rawla’ is a bespoke property redesigned to compliment the aesthetics of the surroundings. The serenity of the indoors merges almost nonchalantly with the outdoor rustic bustle of the throbbing village life & offers you an opportunity to weave in & out of different worlds on a whim.
Sitting amid 17th century architecture that flirts with traditional stonework, the view from inside the ‘Rawla’ is dominated by an enormous granite rock (the size of a hill) that has temples built inside its hollow cavity & is crowned by a large white-stone elephant that stands atop its peak.
