Amanbagh
Amanbagh is the second Amanresort to open in Rajasthan and complements the Aman in India experience.
Set within a walled oasis, the resort echoes the region's Moghul architecture and provides the opportunity
to witness first hand the traditions and culture of rural India. Amanbagh sits in isolation amidst the arid
Aravalli Hills near Alwar in northern India. The region is rich
in early Hindu history, dating to the dawn of Hindu civilization; awash with legend, the epic Mahabharata
tells of the five Pandavas brothers who spent their last years in exile within a few miles of the resort,
over two millennia ago. In the more recent past, the area was dominated by a group of warrior clans, the
Rajputs, who controlled this region of India for nearly 1000 years. Raided repeatedly over time by Moghul
armies, it was finally conquered in the 17th Century by the Emperor Shah Jahan, the famed builder of the
Taj Mahal. Amanbagh lies within a walled compound that was 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 continue to thrive due to a reliable water supply drawn from an adjacent lake.
The resort is every bit a modern day "palace" conceived in the present, but humbly paying homage to the
traditional architecture and design that has prevailed throughout the past. The resort comprises a main building that rises over three levels. On the first level is the arrival area
that leads to the reception hall and onto a shaded court, bordered on one side by the Dining Room and on the
other, by the Lounge. Rising from the reception area is a sweeping staircase that leads to the Library and
an outdoor terrace. Two external staircases lead to the Roof Terrace that is elevated above a canopy of
trees and provides sweeping views over the surrounding landscape.
Beyond the main building is a swimming pool, informal dining area and wading pool, all set within landscaped
grounds. There are four categories of accommodation at Amanbagh. Courtyard Haveli Rooms (8) are located on
the ground level of two, two-storey structures on either side
of the swimming pool. Each Courtyard Haveli Room
features a king bed, separate living area, bathrooms filled
with natural light,
sound system and personal
bar. The internal living space is 85 square metres and the external, private courtyard and terrace area
measures 50
square metres. Garden Haveli Rooms (8), located on the ground level, are distinguished by private balconies
that overlooks a
garden. Terrace Haveli Rooms (8) are located on the upper level and boast private terraced courtyards, each
with an outdoor dining
area, daybed and two sun loungers. Inside, a sitting area is fitted with a day bed, two armchairs, sound
system, personal bar and a
writing desk. The bedroom offers a king size bed and a large natural light-filled bathroom with bathtub
and separate dressing room.
The internal living space is 85 square metres and the external terrace measures 80 square metres. In addition,
the resort offers sixteen Pool Pavilions that are located on the perimeter of the resort and offer their
own private swimming pool and spacious garden.
