Jehan Numa Retreat

A charming property that invites you to relax surrounded by nature. Jehan Numa Retreat is located on the outskirts of Bhopal, bordering the Vin Vihar National Park, and the estate spans twelve and a half acres, giving guests plenty of space to find a peaceful spot to unwind.

There is a large swimming pool, sauna, steam room and fitness centre as well as a spa offering a range of relaxing and nurturing treatments. Dining is a highlight here, with three characterful options to choose from the Greenhouse Bistro, Under The Jamun Tree or the fine dining restaurant, The Coriander Leaf. Not to be left out, the Citrus Garden Project bar offers mixologist cocktails which celebrate Indian flavours, and a selection of sharing platters to snack on.

There are 28 guest rooms, all featuring air-conditioning, fridge, TV, WiFi and ensuite bathroom. The luxury rooms are more spacious, and their bathrooms include bathtub and open-sky showers. Guests can take a tour of the organic vegetable gardens and between October and March, morning yoga is offered free of charge. Bicycles are available to hire to explore the surrounding area, independently or with a guide, and travellers can also enjoy boat trips on Lake Bhopal and cultural heritage tours of the city.

What we love

A peaceful retreat in nature
Extensive organic kitchen gardens provide the three restaurants and cocktail bar with their ingredients, fresh from the source
Borrow bicycles to explore the area and keep a lookout for resident birdlife and wildlife along the way
Morning yoga sessions seasonally are a perfect way to start the day
We highly recommend the delicious Indian kebabs at the Under the Jamun Tree restaurant

The style of the rooms is quite classic and in some cases a little dated, but they are well maintained and extremely comfortable and we find most guests spend the majority of their time in the gardens, poolside or at the spa

Pack some mosquito repellent for the evenings

The luxury rooms are worth the upgrade for the extra space and sky showers

The resort welcomes families. In the evenings the resort plays a wildlife documentary with projector and canvas screen for children to enjoy a movie after their dinner, lounging on beanbags and learning more about nature.

The resort was built without cutting a single tree, and this ethos of caring for nature carries through in all of their operations, down to the organic vegetable gardens which provide the kitchens and bar with the majority of their ingredients.

Jehan Numa Retreat is well situated for exploring the local area only five minutes’ drive from Van Vihar National Park, 30 minutes’ drive to Bhopal Lake and 30 minutes’ drive to Bhopal airport.

What our travellers say

We went to Sri Lanka as a three-generation family of three. The superb trip was organised by Samanthie and the team and it's difficult to see how it could have been bettered.

Red Dot organised the most wonderful 3-week holiday for us. Samanthie built a trip around the amazing sights we had requested visiting, together with her own suggestions and a wide mix of hotels, which gave us the flavours of both traditional Sri Lanka and the sleek, stylish contemporary version of the country. Our Driver made the whole experience incredibly special for us.

I can’t thank Cherylle and the Red Dot team enough for their meticulous planning of our family holiday to India travelling through Rajasthan over Christmas. As a family of all adults, every suggestion from daily activities to hotel choices was simply perfect. We travelled through Delhi, Ranthambore (an unforgettable tiger safari!), Jaipur and Agra and I truly feel we experienced the very best of each destination while moving at a relaxed, well thought out pace

My partner arranged a holiday trip at fairly short notice to Sri Lanka with Red Dot on a recommendation, Samanthie was so patient & helpful with her suggested itinerary which we followed with some minor amendments. On arrival at Colombo we met Manjula our chauffeur/guide who was absolutely brilliant!

Dulmini and the Red Dot Team arranged a fantastic trip for us around Assam and North East India. Faultless service. I cannot recommend them more highly.

Wonderful company. Our holiday in Sri Lanka was perfect. Local knowledge made all the difference

We looked up, and communicated with umpteen tour operators. Though Red Dot seemed to have offices in Sri Lanka and the UK, they seemed to have the best reviews. We were fortunate enough to correspond with Cherylle, who not only assured us of the safety of our friend, but created a personalised, and flexible, itinerary which we could not have done ourselves.

A 14-day tour with Red Dot Tours was the perfect antidote to the bleak UK winter. After a glowing recommendation from a friend, we contacted Red Dot Tours and were not disappointed. Our consultant, Lahiru, curated a seamless itinerary. Throughout the planning phase, Lahiru was incredibly responsive; the final itinerary—delivered via a user-friendly 'Guest Portal'—was impressively detailed, covering every hotel stay and excursion.
