Aman-i-Khas

We had the most wonderful stay and cannot thank everyone at Aman-I-Khas enough; nothing was too much trouble and they were incredibly attentive, providing everything and more than we could possible need, from cookies, tea and hot water bottles for the safari’s to our very own personal ‘Batman’. It was so luxurious and yet somehow still felt embedded into the wildlife. We will definitely be back and can safely say that it is one of the most special places we have stayed in.

We stayed for three nights in December 2024 with our two daughters, ages 11 and 7. It was a long drive there, but boy was it worth it! First off, they have individualized butlers, called a batman, who see to every one if your needs, from turndown to meals. We had KC, who is a delightful person and an absolutely amazing hotel employee. He anticipated our every need, and was patient with all of our American requests. He gave us a tour one morning, complete with candle making, playing with goats and rabbits, and bracelet making. Definitely do it. The last night’s meal was outdoor by the fire and traditional Rajasthani. It was delicious - as was all the food, but particularly that night. The room was amazing. All four of us stayed in one room and it was plenty of space - the kids slept in the day bed. It’s very thoughtfully designed and able to be both warm and cold. It’s not a tent experience - better water pressure in the shower than we have at home! Oh, we also went on three game drives and saw a tiger, leopards and sloth bears. Amazing all around!

We travel a lot around the world, and this was by far one of the best hotels we’ve ever stayed at. What truly made it magical is the incredible service from our Batman, Bijay, who came pick us up all the way to Delhi and took such good care of us. Also, our safari drivers, with a special shoutout to Deep, who went above and beyond to find the tigers so we could see them before leaving! I am thankful for evryone that made this trip one of my favorite ones yet.

I am writing to express my profound disappointment and dissatisfaction regarding the experience I encountered during my stay at Aman I-khas. I stayed at their establishment from March 2 to March 4, 2024, and I must say it was one of the most disappointing experiences of my life. One of the reasons for my stay was to explore the wildlife park and engage in horseback riding, as advertised on your website (see attached). However, upon arrival, I encountered several issues. Firstly, when I booked a one-hour horseback riding session, there was no helmet available in my size, posing a safety concern. During the ride, our group faced several hazardous situations. Young people on motorcycles approached the horses at high speed, causing my guide to fall. Additionally, we traversed areas littered with waste and narrow paths where tractors passed by at high speeds, endangering the safety of all participants (see attached). Upon my return to the hotel, I immediately expressed my concerns to the General Manager. I explained to the GM that it was his responsibility to ensure that the proposed route was safe and that it aligned with the conditions advertised on the website. However, he refused to take responsibility for the situation, citing that the horses were subcontracted from another company. Despite my requests, no compensatory measures were offered for this disastrous experience. This experience is in stark contrast to what is promoted on their website. Furthermore, it is unacceptable that the establishment fails to take necessary measures to ensure the safety and well-being of its guests. It appears that Aman lacks sensitivity in ensuring guests have an extraordinary experience and taking responsibility for any shortcomings.

After two and a half weeks of luxury hotels in Rajasthan (Oberoi, Taj, Aman)…Aman-i-Khas still topped them all in what I can only describe as one of the more special and unique hotel experiences on Earth. The property itself is stunning. Right on the edge of Ranthamore, it feels completely remote but is still convenient. The tents are absolutely spectacular and it’s almost unable to describe in words how incredible the ten private guest tents are. The ceilings are soaring, soaking tub & shower spectacular, massive lounger is incredible (we loved playing Scrabble here every night), bed is dream-level comfortable, and the design is utterly elegant. Meals, safaris, spa…everything was exceptional. However, to me what makes Aman-i-Khas so utterly one-of-a-kind are the people. Our naturalist and driver were fantastic and literally moved heaven and Earth to let us finally spot a tiger on the last of our three game drives. The spa attendants were fantastic. With all that being said…it’s the Batman (a modern day butler) who really make this property so spectacular. And, KC, our Batman, was without a doubt the most incredible and special and thoughtful person we have ever met while traveling. His kindness, warmth, sense of humor, and hospitality are simply beyond compare. It’s honestly taken a year for me to write this review because it’s really almost too hard to summarize how much of a connection we felt with him. He was our personal butler for our entire stay, beginning with him waking us up with fresh tea and fruit, to serving us all three meals, setting us up with thermos and blankets and picnics for our game drives, and even surprising us in the middle of the wilds on a horseback safari (if you are an equestrian—DO THIS) with hot chai tea and breakfast overlooking a seemingly endless expanse of wilderness. We loved getting to know him, learning about his life and family, and hearing his story. It is rare you meet someone with such a generous and warm spirit and, without a doubt, it was KC that made our trip so wonderful.

This was such a fun experience ! Glamping in a beautiful tented resort with only 10 tents each with their own attendant ( a “ Batman” ), who takes care of everything for you and with you whilst you’re there. Large, elegant, temperature controlled accommodation with every creature comfort you’d need including a Toto smart toilet and lovely concrete tub. Thoughtful and classy furnishings beautifully arranged with king beds and a lounging and dining area and two verandahs. All 10 tents are identical and well spaced so as to ensure privacy. Never in anyone’s way, it feels like your own private camp and a la carte dining that was excellent, complimentary laundry service each day ( no limits ), and small little details such as water bottles/hot water bottles to keep warm on safari ***** with a box of snacks. Warm towels and a cup of tea each time we returned back to camp from our fruitless trips to find elusive tigers. A beautiful pool and spa. Our only complaint is the heated tents have hot dry air circulating in a completely closed tent with little fresh air and no humidification. This made sleeping impossible as our airways were so dry and parched and we both coughed and hacked through the nights and were ( unfortunately) happy to be out in the fresh air each morning. In the colder months this could be problematic for many, but hopefully the property will see fit to do better with the HVAC in the winter. Organic farm-gardens grow all the fresh produce and flowers, and the solar panels provide more than enough electricity to run the resort and keep it beautifully lighted. Wonderful staff. A great experience as long as you don’t expect to see a tiger as this is extremely unpredictable !
