Ranvas

Nagaur, India
Luxury hotel banner
Ranvas occupies the former women’s quarter of 12th Century Ahhichatragarh Fort in the desert town of Nagaur.

Peacocks wander the gardens, which are dotted with pomegranate trees, while pale stone walls ensconce 27 airy rooms and fresco-lined hallways. While sections of the fort are in disrepair, the hotel has been lovingly restored and exudes rustic charm.

Jewel-toned cushions provide a splash of colour in an otherwise calming space. Explore the fort, visit nearby temples, and embark on excursions in the Thar Desert. When you’re done, settle in for a rest by the pool, on your private sit-out, or sip a chai on the ramparts.

What we love

    • A lovingly restored heritage property on the grounds of Ahhichatragarh Fort
    • The 27 rooms are all spacious and airy with high ceilings
    • Wander the ramparts at sunset–it feels like you have the fort all to yourself
    • If you’re here during the Sufi Festival, the hotel comes alive with traditional music and dance
    • The beautiful gardens and pool area invite relaxation
    • Explore nearby temples or enjoy adventures in the Thar Desert

WiFi is limited and only available in the main courtyard so be prepared to switch off

No tea making facilities in the rooms but the staff will be happy to help you out

The stone decor may feel cold to some but we love its rustic charm

Families are welcome but amenities aren’t designed with families in mind. Children under six stay free and babysitting is available. However, the pool isn’t fenced so be careful if travelling with toddlers.
Located within the grounds of Ahhichatragarh Fort in Nagaur, on the edge of Rajasthan’s Thar Desert.

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.
