Amanbagh is a verdant oasis of mature palm, fruit and eucalyptus
trees lying within a walled compound once the staging area for royal hunts. Evoking
the palatial elegance of the Moghul era, Amanbagh’s Haveli Suites and Pool Pavilions
provide a tranquil base from which to explore the rich heritage of Rajasthan, India’s
dramatic frontier region. Amanbagh’s award-winning design features domed cupolas
and private courtyards
The topography of the Alwar region consists of sandy plains interspersed with craggy
hills, a stark contrast to Amanbagh’s setting which is an oasis of verdant greenery.
Deriving its name from aman, meaning ‘peace’ in Sanskrit and bagh, meaning ‘garden’
in Hindi, Amanbagh lies within a walled compound once used by the Maharajah of Alwar
to site his mobile hunting camps in search of the elusive tigers known to roam the
nearby hills. Long since abandoned, the trees and vegetation continued to thrive
due to a reliable source of underground water. The resort is very much a modern
day ‘Mughal Palace’, conceived in the present, but paying homage to the architecture
and design of India’s golden age
