Quietly nestled in the middle of the Thar Desert, an hour east of the UNESCO heritage city of Jaisalmer is The Serai, a luxurious desert camp and spa. A member of Relais and Chateaux, The Serai offers exceptional service and exquisite dining experiences.
With 21 canvas tented suites and an excellent spa, this is a wonderfully romantic setting and perfect for those looking for a peaceful hideaway off the beaten track.
Private dining by the poolside under an inky dark sky peppered with stars, the peace and solitude of the Thar desert surrounds you.
This romantic desert camp and spa has 21 luxurious canvas tents, offering three styles of accommodation. Six of the tents have private walled gardens with heated plunge pools. In addition, there is an exclusive ‘Royal Tent’ with its own pool, spa lounge and dining tents, all inside a private walled garden. There is an award-winning spa situated within a walled garden and a large heated swimming pool. The Serai’s organic herb and vegetable garden are used to create delicious meals. Guests are welcome to explore the farm and participate in cooking sessions with the team. The staff are impeccable and treat every guest like royalty.
Although in the middle of the Thar Desert, there is plenty to keep you busy when not exploring the sandstone walls of Jaisalmer fort.
“One of those out of this world experiences that are very rare” – Vogue
“The overall effect is something out of a dream: romantic and completely magical” – Conde Nast Traveller
The Serai can be reached by road from Jodhpur, a car journey of approximately five hours. If you prefer the train then the Jaisalmer Express from Jodphur to Jaisalmer takes approximately six hours. Flights from Jodphur or Delhi to Jaisalmer are seasonal so worth considering if you prefer to avoid a long drive. The camp is approximately one hour’s drive from Jaisalmer.
