Basking in the rolling topography of Rajasthan’s desert region of
Shekhawati, just around 255 kilometers from New Delhi, The
Desert Resort at Mandawa is a verdant oasis in the most
literal sense of the world. The mystery and the romance of the desert are captured

relaxation with a fascinating glimpse of the native culture. Set amidst acres
of natural landscape in the colourful land of Rajputs, this weekend getaway near
Delhi is an unbelievable mix of opulence and nature that promises elite
captivating experience and utmost luxury amid breathtaking views.
The Desert Resort, host to celebrities and royalty since decades, is
recreated in the style of a typical Rajasthani village. The exteriors are
decorated with the traditional lime paste – “mandana” or rice flour patterns
that is redone daily by local artisan women from the village – while the
interiors are ornamented with mirror work and glass beads in myriad colours
complemented with woven fabric and hand-made pottery. Indulge in the grandeur
of deluxe and royal suites; or choose to stay in distinctively styled cottages
or the rooms.
The resort is a gastronomical delight to the guests – a signature
multi-cuisine air-conditioned restaurant serving Indian, Rajasthani,
Continental, Mexican, Italian and Chinese cuisines; a well-stocked bar
featuring specialty wines and cocktails; host of unique open dining options; featured
theme fiestas at resort’s swimming pool; and exceptional private candle-lit dinners
at the sand dunes are the highlights of this luxury resort near Delhi.
The Desert Resort with its great location, ample spaces, unique venues,
numerous cuisines, and easy accessibility is also a perfect setting for theme
dinners, events and weddings – the ‘arabian nights’ at the oasis with a desert
bedouin camp & mesmerizing international performances; the ‘medieval renaissance’
with a flash back to the era of caravans & regal castles of sultans; the ‘cultural
rajasthani soiree‘ at sand dunes with rustic setting & enthralling folk;
the ‘grand Indian royalty’ with grandeur of maharaja welcome, royal
processions, trumpets, camels & horses; and numerous other customized themes
are offered to make your event special, very special.
Wake up to the sounds of tweeting birds; be treated with the sights &
smells of pure nature; and take an early morning stroll to the oasis. Spend
your day exploring the fresco trail in the town; opt for a horse ride, a camel
back or a jeep safari to the dunes; drive down to the black buck sanctuary;
visit the local village to share the simple joys of the native folk; walk to
the resort’s very own dairy farm; learn the craft of making “mandana” from the
local artisans; rejuvenate yourself with an ayurvedic massage or indulge your
senses with an array of spa treatments at Castle Mandawa; play a game of
snooker or try your hand at table-tennis; settle for a cup of tea at the
stables or at the swimming pool; and end the day alongside the roaring bonfire
sharing the puppet stories and witnessing the rich culture of the fire dancers
and “bhopa” folk music. There is enough activity, adventure or exploring in and
around the resort to fill your day from dawn to late at night but you may still
chose to do nothing and yet be rewarded with the vibrant colours and fresh
fragrance of nature around – the starry skies, glowing sunsets, and exotic
backdrop make Desert Resort the experience of a lifetime.

takes pride in maintaining a long and unique list of highly satisfied and
