The Farm

Then again, it’s not exactly the sort of formula that can be repeated. The Farm is largely constructed from spare parts and salvaged furniture from the family’s old palace, which was dismantled in advance of a major dam-building project. Here everything from the palace’s old doors and windows to the reclaimed wooden beams and bolts and screws are pressed into service. But the result is anything but a carbon copy.

It’s small, for one thing, just six executive rooms and eight freestanding suites, complete with plunge pools and open-air jacuzzis. Each one is visually unique, designed with a sense of whimsy to accompany the clean modern design. They’re positively sedate, though, in comparison with the hotel’s common spaces, liberally festooned with artworks both modern and traditional.

There’s plenty to do, from yoga and massage to outdoor adventures and cooking and painting classes, all in a lively social atmosphere. Meanwhile you’re just minutes from Jaipur, and all its historic charms. The fact that it’s one-of-a-kind is, of course, what makes it special — but we can’t help wishing for more.
