Sujan Jawai

Sujan Jawai is positioned in a stunning wilderness area halfway between Jodhpur and Udaipur and just minutes away from Jawai Bandh, one of the largest reservoirs in the region and an important habitat of Panthera pardus fusca – the Indian leopard. Surrounded by rocky outcrops and scrubland, the luxurious Sujan Jawal has a chic, understated 1930s elegance. It offers an opportunity to relax in style away from the crowds and experience the delights of rural Rajasthan while enjoying impeccable Relais & Chateaux standards. Accommodation is in eight spacious, stylishly decorated tents using artefacts designed by renowned artisan Michael Aram and features a private sit-out and bathroom (shower only) with powerful hot showers.

Dining is an experience in itself, and guests can join other resident guests at the stylish dining tent or opt for a private romantic dinner under the stars. Guests also have the luxury of choosing to eat at a time of their liking. In addition, Sujan Jawal arranges nightly campfires for guests. While leopards remain the main attraction, the felines can be elusive, and we recommend an extended stay to improve the odds of sightings. With experienced trackers acting as guides, wildlife safaris also reveal the co-existence of wolves, sloth bears and antelopes with the colourful nomadic Rabari tribespeople. Off-road cycling excursions through the surrounding dramatic landscape of granite rocks and sandy riverbeds are another attraction Sujan Jawal offers.
