Stay in and relax:

The pool at Devi Bhawan is an absolute joy; beautifully designed and maintained, framed by the lush gardens and sandstone walls and tastefully lit at night. With great lounging areas along the sides it’s the ideal spot to recover from a journey and recharge after a day in the city.

The main house has an art-deco style lounge with sofas and armchairs, a bar in one corner and a small collection of books, perfect to spend an afternoon or evening in.

The hotel also organises massage services in the privacy of your room.

Camel and jeep safaris:

Head to the owner’s ancestral village of Umaidnagar (where you can also spend a night) and to the sand dunes at Osian. Just ask and the manager will happily make arrangements.

Shop:

Jodhpur is famous for its furniture (both antique and reproductions), glass bangles and textiles (both vintage and contemporary). Visitors and designers flock here for both the high quality of its goods and the competitive prices on offer.

Sightseeing:

There are a range of options available, from walking in the old city to visiting the magnificent Mehrangarh fort, one of Rajashthan’s finest.
