Six Senses Fort Barwara, near Ranthambore

One of the most magnificent architectural marvels in Rajasthan is the carefully restored 14th-century Fort Barwara. Once the residence of a Rajasthani royal family, it has now been transformed into a Six Senses sanctuary dedicated to well-being. 

Six Senses Fort Barwara is situated a three-hour drive from Jaipur and a 30-minute drive from Ranthambore National Park, where visitors can seek out the region's wild tigers. The fort features 48 luxurious suites that preserve the essence of royalty. The East Wing offers views of the countryside, while the West Wing overlooks Barwara village and beyond. Each suite is designed in a contemporary Rajasthani style, reinterpreting the fort's rich history while seamlessly integrating modern technology. 

Dining here is a regal experience, with on-site restaurants that blend the finest regional Rajasthani and pan-Indian cuisine, enhanced by international influences, all while adhering to the Eat With Six Senses philosophy of utilizing local, fresh, and seasonal ingredients. Whenever possible, they source produce from the resort's own organic gardens and from carefully selected farmers in nearby villages and townships. As the sun sets over the Chauth ka Barwara Mandir Temple, guests can consult the wine sommelier for a tour of their vintages or begin their evening with a pre-dinner cocktail at The Viewing Gallery. 

The resort also places a strong emphasis on personalized wellness, featuring a 30,000-square-foot (2,800-square-meter) spa and fitness center that offers an extensive menu of Ayurvedic treatments. Guests even have the opportunity to create their own skincare products at the Alchemy Bar. Six Senses Barwara serves as a regal base for exploring the regional treasures of Rajasthan. 

Activities can be tailored to individual preferences, whether it involves a sunset drive through the Rajasthani countryside or discovering the wildlife of the nearby Ranthambore National Park. With visits to the temple and guided heritage walks, there are countless opportunities to engage with local history and culture.
