Amanbagh
Opened in 2005, Amanbagh, an Aman resort, is a 40-room property set in foothills of the Aravali Mountains. The secluded resort was created in collaboration with esteemed Paris-based architect and designer Ed Tuttle, who also masterminded Amanpuri in Phuket, Thailand, and the Amanjena resort in Marrakech. A two-hour drive from Jaipur, Amanbagh is a romantic, palm-shaded mise-en-scène of Moghul-style architecture crafted in Indian sandstone. Upon arrival, it’s clear that the service runs as smoothly as the polished surfaces throughout. Guests, many of them honeymooners, can hide out in serene, luxurious suites with private courtyards and pools. Dine in the terrace restaurant where the menu features Western and Indian dishes such as snapper with roasted pimentos and Kashmiri-style lamb chops. (Many of the greens, vegetables and herbs come from on-site organic garden). Excursions to nearby historic Moghul forts and remote archaeological sites, such as the temple town of Neelkanth, are also among the highlights of a visit to this magical place.
