Six Senses Fort, Barwara

This beautiful 14th-century fort has been sensitively converted to become Six Senses Fort Barwara and is a 2.5-hour drive from Jaipur in Rajasthan. Situated in the culturally rich province of Rajasthan, this significant conservation effort reinterprets the gracious and regal ambiance of a bygone era. The resort includes two palaces, two original temples, and 48 beautifully appointed suites within the fort walls. Three restaurants offer innovative menus emphasizing locally sourced ingredients, while the impressive Six Senses Spa provides a peaceful sanctuary for the mind, body and soul. Outside the fort, the property faces the charming village of Barwara to the west and a forest to the east. The famous tigers of Ranthambore National Park are only a short drive away.

There are 48 one-bedroom suites, including five specialty suites, housed within the walls of the historic fort. Sizes range from 753 square feet (70 square meters) to 3,014 square feet (280 square meters). Suites in the East Wing offer commanding views over the countryside and those in the West Wing to Barwara village and beyond. Each suite is designed in a contemporary Rajasthani style to complement the historic backdrop of the fort while subtly incorporating state-of-the-art in-room technology. The groundbreaking Sleep With Six Senses standard, developed with acclaimed sleep doctor Dr. Michael Breus, features handmade mattresses, cotton bedding that breathes and all the fundamentals for a good night’s sleep.
