"Give your loved one the royal treatment at this 14th-century fort turned 48-suite hotel. Commanding a hilltop perch above Barwara Lake, the thoughtfully restored complex channels the glamor of a bygone era. Splurge on the Raja Man Singh Pool Suite, which features a pool and garden enclosed within a turret and views of the Chauth ka Barwara Mandir Temple and the Aravali hills. There are daily wellness activities like sunrise yoga and traditional puja ceremonies at sunset. But for the ultimate indulgence, retreat to the 30,000-square-foot spa for stress-relieving shirodhara treatments and cutting-edge biohacking therapies."
"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
