SUJÁN The Serai

Everything at The Serai is done to the finest detail - and with buckets of elegance. Nestled in a walled garden, the tented spa offers just about every treatment - from toe-tingling reflexology to relaxing massages. Join in on the yoga and meditation classes, or take a dip in the very inviting pool. Enjoy local delicacies and the more continental fare on menus that arrive new each day, or pop over for a cocktail at the elegant stone bar. You can even indulge in tailor-made dining experiences! Don't miss a stop-in at the boutique where you'll find lovely nature-inspired products.

Before heading into Jaisalmer to discover the historic fort with its ornate Jain temples, The Serai has plenty to do. Stroll across the desert on a camel before enjoying sundowners amongst the golden dunes. You can also go on a desert drive, cycle or bird watching excursion. Experience Jaisalmer's local culture with folk recitals by the Manganiyars (the traditional desert bards) or an artisanal afternoon learning pottery spinning and wood carving from the masters. Back in Jaisalmer, the 'Golden City of India', you can enjoy one of the hotel's tours from their fascinating Textile Trail to a look at the city's history and its many serene temples. While you're out and about, indulge in Makhania Lassi, a Jaisalmer staple made of buttermilk and dry fruits.
