In the heart of Rajasthan, the colourful land of the Rajputs is the region of Shekhawati, taking its name from the powerful Shekhawati clan. The legends of this historic land have been captured in the murals and frescoes of its Havelis, Forts, Temples, and cenotaphs. Set against this exotic backdrop is The Desert Resort , Mandawa. The mystery and romance of the desert are captured in the unusual architecture of the resort. Recreated in the style of a typical Rajasthani village, The Desert Resort is a verdant oasis in the midst of a stark desert landscape. 

Accommodation:

There are 60 well-furnished, air-conditioned rooms including cottages and spacious deluxe suites. Each cottage and room is furnished in a distinctive style. The exteriors are decorated with traditional lime-paste “MANDANA” or rice-flour patterns which are redone daily by women from the village, while the interiors are ornamented with mirror-work and glass beads in myriad colours. Authenticity blends seamlessly with modernity. Each cottage has a sitting room and a spacious bathroom, complimented by woven fabric and hand-made pottery. Apart from the cottages, guests can choose to stay in the spacious deluxe suites. The Resort also has special rooms and deals for the Handicapped.

Restaurants:

Guests can enjoy delectable Indian, Continental and Chinese fare with live counters in a buffet-style setting. Meals are also served in the open where guests can indulge in the charms of the desert and the local musicians.
