A Royal Villa in Jaipur

The Royal Villa’s main building comprises a living room, powder
room, kitchenette and private dining room, which opens in turn to an outdoor
dining pavilion and the heated pool. The villa offers two bedrooms, each with a
bathroom (and sunken marble tub); the master has its own lounge, dressing room
and sauna. All the rooms have lovely views of private walled gardens and are
simply, but elegantly, furnished with local antiques and handicrafts.
 Taken
together, the Royal Villa and the two nearby one-bedroom pool villas (each with
its own smaller private pool) make a graceful setting for a very private family
or executive retreat. Families can enjoy both the private pools and the hotel
pool, where they can take lunch while reclining on cushions under a pagoda.
Other amenities include two floodlit tennis courts, a five-hole pitch-and-putt
golf course and a state-of-the-art spa with its range of Western and Eastern
relaxation and beauty treatments. The Rajvilas even offers Ayurvedic massages
and private (and, if you wish, alfresco) yoga classes. Horseback riding is
available nearby.
