This unique property on the outskirts of Jaipur blends rural charm and sustainable luxury
Anopura blends modern and traditional approaches to serve its diverse range of guests
Far from the madding crowd, the sprawling property of Anopura will almost make you forget about the scorching heat of Rajasthan. A little away from Delhi and on the border of Jaipur city lies Anopura, a sustainable luxury boutique hotel that is too good to be true. After a comfortable drive from Delhi or Jaipur and a short bumpy ride crossing the village of the same name (trust us, it’s part of the experience), you enter an oasis of sustainable luxury. This hidden gem offers a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of city life, enveloping its guests in peace and grandeur, which we were totally ready for.
Exterior of the property
Anopura is known for its exquisite private villas, each of which is designed to offer luxury and privacy. The villas are beautifully decorated with plush furnishings, reflecting a harmonious blend of rustic, rural charm with traditional Rajasthani aesthetics and modern comforts. Most villas have their own private pool, providing a tranquil oasis where guests can relax and enjoy stunning views of the surrounding landscape. The spacious bathroom with a bathtub is a bonus if you are staying at a Sukh Niwas villa. The intimate setting and personalized service ensure that every stay is memorable. Or at least ours certainly was.

At Anopura, dining is an experience to be enjoyed. The culinary extravaganza includes a sumptuous continental lunch showcasing a variety of international flavours prepared with the finest homegrown ingredients. As the day progresses, guests can enjoy a traditional Rajasthani dinner prepared using locally grown, fresh produce from the property’s gardens. This farm-to-table approach not only enhances the taste and quality of the food but also reflects the property’s commitment to sustainability. If you enjoy a drink on the side, the property can quickly whip up one of its signature cocktails and suddenly, you’ll find all your troubles are gone.

For those looking for a slower pace, Anopura is perfect, and not just for its commitment to bringing back simpler times. It offers a wide range of activities that give guests a chance to connect with the local culture and environment. Pottery-making classes offer the opportunity to learn traditional crafts, while farming activities let guests experience the rhythm of rural life. In addition, camels, cows, calves, goats, and chickens from their cattle farm are always there to welcome visitors. For the more adventurous, safaris offer an exciting opportunity to explore the wilderness surrounding the property.

A major factor in Anopura's charm is the locally employed staff who have been involved with the property from the start. The staff are dedicated to ensuring that every guest feels at home, yet taken care of. Special mention must go to Mr Ishwar who made every effort to ensure that the level of care and consideration was top notch. This was evident in every interaction. This warm, gracious hospitality combined with the stunning surroundings created an atmosphere of genuine welcome and comfort.
