If you journey to a vacation spot like Rajasthan, you count on to see its all-pervasive royal heritage all over the place. Most accommodations and resorts have long-established themselves like palaces and forts, even when they’re newly constructed. Then, there are previous palaces and forts that at the moment are working as accommodations and I name them residing heritage. This time when Lebua Resort Jaipur invited me to go to Jaipur, I anticipated the identical.
Lebua Resort Jaipur
As our automotive entered the resort virtually in the course of nowhere, surrounded by fields and Aravalli hills, all I may see was geometric shapes. Rajasthani musicians performed the welcome music however the environment had an odd combine of latest sensibilities whereas nonetheless being rooted within the heritage of the Jaipur city.
We stepped in and stood in the course of an extended, latticed tunnel like a foyer in a delicate pink coloration stone. Accentuating this was the intense pink of the furnishings. No factors for guessing you’re within the Pink Metropolis of Jaipur. I admired the geometric lattice throughout me. All this whereas sipping an Aam Panna, that I might look ahead to each time I stepped contained in the foyer.
Rooms at Lebua Resort Jaipur
We walked into my room – I acquired the purple room and I couldn’t have requested for a greater coloration. Effectively, this luxurious room would preserve me engaged in its geometry for the following 4 days that it was my residence. As quickly as you enter the jewellery of Shrinathji from Nathdwara welcomes you. The glasswork panel runs zigzag from one finish of the lengthy room to the opposite. The lavatory was like a dream come true – particularly the sunken bathtub subsequent to an open area with bamboos filling the empty area.
Behind my mattress was a mysterious portray of an Invisible Bride – with solely her jewellery seen from a distance and a face revealing while you get nearer. She for certain added a component of mystique to the room.
My fellow vacationers acquired an identical room in turmeric yellow and emerald inexperienced. Every room appears exterior into the wilderness away from the eyes of different visitors. Within the morning I woke as much as the chirping of birds.
A staircase led to the non-public balcony and sit-out surrounded by rooftop gardens. You take a look at the Aravallis in entrance of you. If you look again, you see the radial gardens throughout you. The curve behind you makes its presence felt.
As a result of curved form of the constructing, every room is exclusive. We checked a number of different rooms and have been greatly surprised by a blue and yellow room with a big Jharokha-style sitting.
Geometry at Play at Lebua Resort Jaipur
I used to be instructed this resort in Jaipur is impressed by the geometry of Jantar Mantar – an observatory and the UNESCO World Heritage Website at Jaipur. It was after visiting Jantar Mantar that I may see all components of it at play within the resort.
The 2 curves of the primary blocks are impressed by the Samrat Yantra. The ramp that connects the varied flooring appears just like the triangular partitions of the devices. The spherical Chakra is impressed by the Kapali Yantra.
What’s fascinating is the truth that a contemporary 5-story constructing has no elevators. However you are feeling no pressure in climbing up and down the mild ramps due to the view round you. There are staircases to go up and down the streets at numerous ranges.
A villa block is designed like an embellished jewel field. The minimize stone represents the gem stones – once more in geometric shapes. The villas apparently have hues of metals – Gold, Silver & Copper. The non-public swimming pools look majestic with the latticed home windows reflecting within the blue waters. The bath is lined with a mom of pearl. That is an ode to the gem merchants of Jaipur.
Gastronomic Delights at Lebua Resort Jaipur
Every time I might consider meals on the luxurious resort I might consider Chef Mahendra Singh Rathore – whose fingers have magic. It doesn’t matter what delicacies he cooks for you – it has style in it – one thing not quite common in Lodge meals.
We had every kind of meals from him – proper from road meals of Rajasthan to its luxurious Thali to world-class continental meals. Every dish of every delicacies had a style as the important thing ingredient.
Rajasthani Thali
Rajasthani Thali with a twist had three forms of Baatis and two forms of Choorma amongst its 23 objects on the Thali. The picture of Thali dominated my Twitter Timeline for an excellent 48 hours with every kind of envious and hilarious feedback.
I have to point out right here the 2 particular dinners they organized for us. The primary one was on the Machan – up in a bastion like a pavilion for which you need to go up a ramp. It seems like strolling up a triangle. The second is on the rooftop with the moon overlooking at one finish and the small domes on high of their Vajra restaurant mesmerizing on one other. Each instances our tables have been lit with lamps and sprinkled with rose petals. You possibly can not ask for a extra romantic setting – all of us missed our companions whereas we exchanged tales with our new associates.
The smallest meal was a sandwich with a stunning mint melon juice and French fries to go together with it. We had a troublesome time ending this too.
The desi in me was completely happy the day we had Kachori, Jalebi, Puri, Aloo Tikki, Vada Pao, and Samosa for breakfast. Sure, all of this was in a single single breakfast. It was once I felt I’ve touched the soul of Rajasthan.
Luxurious Expertise
If you examine right into a luxurious property, you count on a sure commonplace of property and repair. Nevertheless, what makes an excellent hospitality model stand out in the present day is the expertise they curate for you and the atmosphere they supply.
On the resort each morning we acquired as much as the morning ragas performed on the flute.
Breakfast at Vajra – the pillared corridor overlooking the Aravalli hills relaxes you directly.
The spa ignored the greenery that helps you let go of all the concerns whereas a therapist pampers you.
Above all, the workers on the resort all the time got here ahead with a smile. Each time we entered the resort, we have been welcomed with hand towels, hand sanitizer, water, and my favourite Aam Panna with a broad smile.
The workers listened to us with out being instructed. If I stated, I’m lacking Daal Roti, there was Daal Roti within the night for dinner.
We explored many sides of Jaipur and round, keep tuned for the detailed posts on them.

Lebua Lodge – Amer
That is the second property of the Lebua group in Jaipur – situated proper subsequent to the wall of Amber Fort.
This can be a tented property with no everlasting construction though you will discover it tough to imagine while you stand there. It’s a sprawling 18-acre property in the course of a forest. All you see round are the white tents and their aesthetic sit-outs.
I beloved their reception space which once more had an excellent geometric design all accomplished with a canvas. The canvas divides the area with out disconnecting it.
Rooms have all the posh together with bathtubs with a nature view.
This time I couldn’t keep at Lebua Lodge, hopefully, there can be one other time to discover the birds in and across the luxurious property.
The designer Pronit Nath of City Studio deserves a particular point out right here for designing these two unconventional but rooted properties. I’m already looking for different properties designed by them.
Thanks Lebua Resort Jaipur for a beautiful Jaipur expertise.
