"In October 2021, the 48-suite Six Senses Fort Barwara debuted in Rajasthan, three hours south of Jaipur. The nearly decade-long restoration of a 14th-century fort put sustainability front and center, with hidden solar panels and rainwater collection tanks. Forty-eight suites feature new courtyards and fanciful jharokas (medieval stone windows) that reference Rajasthani heritage. The vast spa—with a results-oriented blend of Ayurvedic, Eastern, and Western medicine practices—is located inside the former Zenana Mahal, a part of the palace reserved for royal women. Visitors spend their days spotting tigers in Ranthambore National Park, going on guided walks or mountain biking excursions, or visiting nearby villages." - Kathryn Romeyn
