About Us
Located equidistant between the erstwhile princely states of Jodhpur and Udaipur, this meticulously restored 17th century royal retreat is one of Rajasthan’s most treasured heritage hotels. Established as an exclusive boutique resort in 1996, there are 32 rooms set around a series of courtyards bright with flowers. The alliance of marble and stone form the pillar of the heritage architecture, while local artisans handled the limestone and kiln-bricks to construct a contemporary edifice. Local textiles and fabrics remain ubiquitous in the décor, with portraits of the former royal family of Jodhpur, and other princely states of India appearing throughout the resort.
Experiences
The wildlife expedition journeys are the perfect way to track the elusive leopards of Narlai and discover the incredible wildlife of this territory. Wildlife photography and bird watching can also be experienced, since this belt boasts more than 130 species of indigenous and migratory birds. Immersion into the local culture of Narlai and surrounding villages is possible through various excursions such as the Village wander, Wilderness riding, Cultural engagements, Rural jeep safaris, and Bushwalking to name a few! The culinary experiences are defined by the relationship between the diversity of the local ingredients in the region and extraordinary venues enveloped by nature. A few unforgettable dining experiences include the majestic Stepwell soiree and Elevated dining beneath the starry sky.
Dining
Our culinary philosophy at Rawla Narlai revolves around cultivating, sourcing and using fresh, seasonal, local ingredients.

Wilderness locations and unique venues in our villa property or the retreat also exhibit our rich culinary experiences such as Bonfire dinner, Tekri cookout, Elevated dining beneath the starry sky, Sunset dinner, and plenty more!
