havelis & pavilions
Amanbagh is designed with an aesthetic eye and pays homage
to its princely heritage and historical landscape, culminating
in a contemporary sanctuary entwined in the luxuriant
spoils of a rural setting. The evocative moods of its
grand ‘Moghul’ past are portrayed in the sandstone
cupolas and inner courtyards with serene soft pink marble
featured extensively. Amanbagh’s 24 Haveli Suites
and 16 Pool Pavilions exude the richness of the Moghul
era that inspired them: set in a lush oasis of verdant
wooded foliage, there is also a striking and refreshing
33m pool which is heated in the cooler months as well
as a large wading pool. At night the geometric lines of
the resort are defined by the atmospheric incandescence
while the pools reflections’ dance to the sway of
the palms and aromatic eucalyptus trees under a pristine
starlit sky.
courtyard haveli suite
Eight Courtyard Haveli Suites are located
on the ground level of two dwellings on either side of
the swimming pool. The entrance to each is via a courtyard
with an outdoor dining area. Inside, there is a living
area with a large banquette, two armchairs and a writing
desk. Beyond is a private courtyard. The adjacent bedroom
has a soaring domed ceiling and king-size bed whilst the
bathroom is filled with natural light from windows facing
the court. Each Courtyard Haveli Suite is fitted with
a sound system and personal bar.
garden haveli suite
Located on the ground level are eight Garden
Haveli Rooms. Identical in design and furnishings to the
Courtyard Haveli Suites, they are differentiated by a
private balcony that overlooks a garden.
terrace haveli suite
Eight Terrace Haveli Suites are located
on the upper level of the two dwellings. Access to each
is via a staircase that leads to private terraced courtyards,
each with an outdoor dining area and two sun loungers.
Inside, a sitting area is fitted with a daybed, two armchairs,
and a writing desk. The bedroom offers a king-size bed
and a large natural light-filled bathroom with bathtub
and separate dressing room. Each Terrace Haveli Suite
is fitted with a sound system and personal bar.
pool pavilion
Sixteen Pool Pavilions are located on the
perimeter of the resort and offer their own private swimming
pool and spacious garden. Entry to each Pavilion is via
a garden courtyard that leads to a foyer passageway. The
foyer provides access to the shared living area and bedroom
on one side and to the bathroom on the other. The living
area contains a king-size bed, writing desk, daybed for
lounging, sound system and personal bar. The bathroom
features a spacious dressing area, twin vanities, separate
shower and a bathtub, carved from one piece of marble,
located in the centre of the room under a domed ceiling.
Double doors open from both the living area and bathroom
onto the spacious garden courtyard, featuring a covered
dining and lounge area. The private swimming pool measures
three metres by nine metres and is cool throughout the
summer months and heated during the winter months.

> location
Amanbagh sits in a walled oasis at the head of
a gorge which opens into a large valley. Flooded
during the monsoon season, it becomes a lake which
gradually recedes throughout the year until the
monsoon rains return. Surrounding the valley and
providing a catchment for the rain are rocky hills
and knolls that support sporadic and hardy vegetation.
The desolate hills make for an interesting visual
contrast to the plains below.
New Delhi, with its broad boulevards and tree-lined
avenues, is the primary gateway to Amanresorts'
