Our favourite rooms
The Aravali View suites have particularly dreamy terraces, complete with outdoor showers. Windows in the fort’s 14th-century walls frame the hills and sky; take in the vista from your cushioned window seat or swinging sofa. For money’s-no-object opulence, the turret-set Raja Man Singh Suite delivers on every front, from its outdoor dining pavilion to its sun-dappled private pool.
Poolside
Peel yourself away from that remarkable view to clock lengths in a pool of Olympic proportions, then retreat to a luxuriously cushioned daybed on the deck.
Spa
Behind the frescoed facade of the former Zanana Mahal (women’s palace), the spa is impeccably equipped, with a sauna, steam room, tepidarium and cocooning treatment rooms. Drift away with an Ayurvedic four-handed massage, then sip herbal teas by the courtyard’s mirror-like reflection pool. Activities cater for both the sporting and spiritually inclined, spanning aerial yoga, personal training, and trataka (fire meditations).
Packing tips
Bring binoculars for tiger-spotting at Ranthambore, and woven leather flats for strolling Jaipur’s bazaars. Pack yoga gear and hone your half-lotus at the hotel’s sunrise and sunset sessions (mats are provided in each suite).

Sustainability efforts
As with all Six Senses hotels, the onus here is on sustainable luxury. Everything is plastic free, and produce comes from local farmers and the hotel’s own organic gardens. There’s a natural wastewater treatment system, and an on-site water-bottling plant. A swathe of protected land east of the fort is being reforested, too. In terms of community, the hotel work closely with locals to showcase their handicrafts, and help local doctors to ensure women have access to female-specific healthcare.
