Raising the bar for luxury accommodation close to the wildlife of Ranthambore National Park, the fourteen Mughal-style tents comprising Aman-i-Khas are a boutique collection of grandeur; the ideal setting for a masterclass in personalised service.

Opulent isn’t a word usually used to describe retiring into tents for the night, and yet, on the outskirts of Ranthambore National Park, it couldn’t be more true. Inherited from an era of art that gave us the mighty Taj Mahal, this accommodation style brings spacious high ceilings to your stay, and safari standards that reach to lofty heights.

Sojourns to Ranthambore are all united by a single aim: to spot the sauntering stripes of a Bengal Tiger. Leaving behind the clean-lined linens of camp, twice-daily game drives here are the opportunity to do just that, combing through a palette of greens and gold in a quiet search for any signs of camouflage. All eyes are peeled for the moment four wheels cross paths with paws, and photographers focus their lenses for the perfect shot. In these parts, history is often an added dimension, with ancient ruins now ruled again by nature making for a rather intriguing backdrop. One particularly impressive feature – the UNESCO World Heritage site Ranthambore Fort – is a must-see, experienced best under the expertise of the Aman-i-Khas team.

Travel notes

14 luxury tented pavilions surrounded by jungle flora include full board and private butler service
Both accommodation and dining hark back to the tent cities of the Mughal emperors
Time in camp is spent swimming, in the spa, or dining on traditional cuisine
Authentic cuisine includes Rajasthani thali platters, often followed by gathering around a log fire in the evenings
Game drives are twice daily, after sunrise and in the late afternoons
Though they may love wildlife, due to the nature of safari experiences this isn’t a destination for children under 14

A sense of
place

Waking to the sounds of the jungle is a gentle affair, the call of birdsong denoting the break of day, followed closely by the beginnings of an authentic-meets-luxury adventure. Comfort isn’t to be compromised for a bona fide experience, shown most in the delectable flavours flowing from local family recipes into the traditional cuisine here.

And though the national park lies so close by, fruits, vegetables and herb ingredients grown in neighbouring fields are picked daily, with the sprawling land in question doubling up as an awe-inspiring stargazing spot come nightfall.

…simply the best

Guests here have likely crossed the classic African safari off their bucket list already, turning to India for an alternative to bring that new-experience excitement to their travels. Naturally, second-best would fall short, but a highly personalised service style from ‘Batman’ butlers is the first indication of sophistication on this safari. Surrounded by experts on all things culture and wildlife, this is an erudite destination for conversation.

Wake up
here

There’s a decidedly regal feeling to a wake-up call in what can only be described as a palatial-style tent. All arranged in a horseshoe, those wanting an extra element of privacy may prefer the outermost tents, though the height of splendour is found in the Grand Tented Pool Pavilion. Almost endlessly spacious, understated colour palettes create a calming ambience complimented by an outdoor pool and deck. Leaving for a morning game drive comes with the knowledge that you’ll return to relax, that is, after an alfresco breakfast in the shade of a guava orchard.

On location

Asia, India, Aman-i-Khas, spa tent treatment room

Steeped in the history of Ayurvedic healing practices, serenity flows from the bubbling fountain at the centre of the Aman-i-Khas spa into its two treatment rooms, readied for massages, scrubs and wraps. Outdoors, daily yoga sessions continue a sense of calm, while the camp’s jungle setting shrouds the main pool, designed to reflect Ranthambore’s ancient step wells. Aromatic bathing experiences are the most private, prepared in your pavilion to soak off the day’s game-driving dust.
