Vivaana

Vivaana is arguably Shekhawati’s finest converted-hotel and is housed within two of the largest havelis (mansions) in the small village of Churi. Dating from the 19th century, the sensitively restored havelis - rich with 200-year-old frescoes, beautiful paintings and jharokhas (balconies) and courtyards – seamlessly combine old-world style with the modern conveniences. Accommodation at Vivaana comprises of 23 spacious rooms and suites featuring high-ceilings, carved pillars, art works, hand-made oversized beds and modern amenities (no televisions though to disturb). No two rooms are of the same size or décor and whilst some rooms offer views of the inner courtyard, others overlook the village. Facilities include a multi-cuisine restaurant, tea lounge, bar, library, game room, an outdoor pool and a Spa offering Ayurvedic massages. Tucked away from all the hustle and bustle of touristy towns and villages, Vivaana is a convenient base from which to explore the villages of Nawalgarh, and Mandawa, as well as enjoy a camel safari through Churi village which ends with an alfresco dining experience amongst the dunes. Other activities on offer at Vivaana include mountain bike rides (advance notice required); star gazing from a dedicated terrace within the property and cultural evenings.
