In the know
- Our favourite rooms
- We absolutely love the contemporary-feeling Chambre Yamuna, which comes swathed in beautiful turquoise fabric. It also has a fabulous square bath with its own seat in the corner. Chambre Najma is also wonderful – it’s the largest room in the riad, and includes a hand-made cedar bed with a traditionally carved headboard.
- Packing tips
- Apart from suncream and some floaty tops to lounge around the property in, you don’t need to bring anything. Pretty much everything you’ll need can be found at the riad.
- Also
- The riad’s owners have been involved in the hotel project right from the start, and the result is very much their vision. All furnishings and decorative touches, which betray a distinct Rajasthani influence, have been personally commissioned by them.
