The Serai

A Relais & Châteaux listed boutique desert camp set amongst a 100-acre private estate, The Serai Jaisalmer is as close to a fantasy as you can get in the middle of the Great Thar Desert. An hour’s drive outside the stunning remote desert outpost of Jaisalmer, this glorious camp combines understated luxury with service of an old fashioned country house and is perfectly positioned to enable you to experience desert life as well as Jaisalmer’s outstanding medieval living fort. Inspired by the royal caravans of the Mughals and the Rajput Kings, The Serai offers accommodation in 21 sumptuously furnished tented suites that are ultra-private. Each Tented Suite is pitched on a permanent base of local Jaisalmer sandstone and features a spacious, stylish bedroom with mahogany furniture, an indoor sitting room, luxurious bathroom with showers and a private terrace. The higher category Luxury Tented Suites in addition feature a walled garden with a private open-to-the-sky plunge pool; while for those seeking the ultimate desert experience – guests are pampered in the Royal Tented Suite, which comes with its own Spa, a small heated outdoor pool, personal butler and a separate tent to dine and lounge in. At The Serai, there are not set meal times and guests have the choice of either dining in the main pavilion tent that has an indoor dining area or enjoy private al-fresco dinners anywhere within the estate. Cuisine is taken seriously and the daily changing menu features local as well as a selection of international delicacies. Leisure facilities at this camp include a stunning outdoor pool, bar and a spa. Amongst a whole host of activities on offer at The Serai – we recommend the camel safari that offers the chance to enjoy a sun downer amongst the dunes and watch the sun set over the Thar Desert.
