Six Senses Fort Barwara

Occupying a meticulously restored section of a 700-year-old fort, Six Senses Fort Barwara is a showstopping hotel within fairly easy reach of Ranthambore National Park.

Between safaris, visiting villages, and exploring the fort, you can be kept busy, but ensure you have plenty of time to enjoy the hotel and its extensive facilities–the spa, converted from one of the on-site temples, is particularly impressive. Suites are a perfect blend of contemporary and traditional and afford ample space, looking out over the Aravalli Hills or Barwara Lake. The 10 years of restoration to create this hotel were well worth the wait.

Most of the suites are newly built but you’d never know. The buildings have been meticulously designed to blend in with the original fort

There aren’t many restaurants nearby but you have plenty of choice at the hotel, with its three restaurants and two bars

Families are well catered for, with a range of amenities, toys, and activities on offer for children. All ages are welcome and anyone under 12 stays for free. Extra beds and cots can be provided and there are a number of interconnecting suites. All of the restaurants offer children’s menus and high chairs, and even the spa has a child-friendly menu.

When it comes to activities, kids will be spoiled for choice. There’s a creche with a play area, complete with sandpit, toys, and an area designed to keep teenagers occupied. There’s also a kids’ club and babysitting is available

Located above the village of Chauth Ka Barwara, a short distance from the lake. The nearest airport is Jaipur, a 2.5-hour drive away. It’s an hour from Ranthambore National Park.

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.

Roy Wood (February 2026)

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.

Alie C (February 2026)

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

Daisy Stanton (February 2026)

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!

Andrew S (February 2026)

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.

Martin Thomas (February 2026)

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

Sandra Nicholson (February 2026)

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.

Jayant Banerji (February 2026)

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.
