Rawla Bisalpur, Jawai
Rawla Bisalpur in the village of Bisalpur in Jawai, on the edge of Jawai's granite landscape.
Once the royal family's 1930s guest house, it sits beside their 18th-century ancestral palace and has been thoughtfully restored, offering a quieter way to experience the region through leopard safaris, village walks and unhurried days.
Neither palace nor haveli, Rawla Bisalpur is defined by its simplicity. It is a place to slow down, settle in, and experience Jawai at its own pace.
Accommodation
The Jodhpur Lancers
Set within the family's former 1930s guest house, these rooms honour the quiet character of the Rawla. Restored with restraint, they offer a simple and intimate stay for up to two guests.
Easy Breezy
Verandahs, shaded canopies and quiet courtyards are woven throughout the Rawla, offering countless places to rest, read or simply watch the day unfold.
Earth Pool and Temple Bells
Our Earth Pool is carved into the granite landscape, its form shaped by the land rather than imposed upon it.
Each day begins and ends with prayers at the historic temple, a tradition that has endured for generations.
Our farms that feed
Meals at Rawla Bisalpur are guided by the seasons and the estate. Much of the produce comes from the family's fields, prepared simply and served with quiet generosity.
The former horse stables now welcome long lunches and slow evenings, while dinner is often enjoyed beside the fire beneath the open sky.
Open spaces, leopards and the Rabari tribe
"We drank tea on the banks of the Jawai Dam while crocodiles basked on rocks, and when the call of a leopard sighting came through, our SUV raced across giant boulders just in time to watch a beautiful mother leave her cubs in search of supper."
—The Times, London
