Amanbagh
History & Story
With its ancient forts and tiger-inhabited wilds, Rajasthan is renowned for its beauty, nowhere more concentrated than in the Aravalli Hills in the garden oasis that is Amanbagh. Once the staging area for royal tiger hunts, today the rose-hued cupolas and vaulted entrances of the resort’s Mughal-inspired structures soar from the greenery – utterly peaceful and consummately private.

Main Strengths, Special Touch
A verdant oasis of mature palm, fruit and eucalyptus trees lying within a walled compound, Amanbagh evokes the palatial elegance of the Mughal era. The 22 Haveli Suites and 15 Pool Pavilions provide a tranquil base to explore the rich heritage of the region. Amanbagh’s award-winning design features domed cupolas and private courtyards, and at the centre of the property is a magnificent swimming pool. An Aman Spa is set within the gardens.
Location
Set at the foot of the Aravalli hills in Rajasthan, northwest India, Amanbagh lies around 90km northeast of Jaipur. The rural village of Ajabgarh, located in the once princely Alwar district, is very close Amanbagh. Here, craggy hills and knolls are interspersed with seasonal lakes, small rural hamlets, markets and subsistence agriculture.
Key sites/activities in the area
The Aravalli Hills, one of the oldest mountain ranges on earth and the starkly beautiful setting for Amanbagh, offer a plethora of opportunities for outdoorsmen, nature enthusiasts and historians alike. A 90-minute drive from Jaipur, Amanbagh lies close to traditional villages and historic attractions such as the 17th-century Ajabgarh Fort, the deserted city of Bhangarh, and the 11th-century Narayani Mata Temple. From lakeside picnics and camel safari to sunrise yoga in Forts and safaris in the wilds of Sariska Tiger Reserve, the countryside surrounding Amanbagh reveals the ruins of an ancient empire. Tailored to suit individual preferences, each experience is a bespoke adventure designed to reveal a unique facet of this colourful state.
