The colourful land of the Rajputs is the region of Shekhawati, taking its name from the powerful Shekhawat clan. The legends of this historic land have been captured in the murals and frescoes of its Havelis, Forts, Temples, and cenotaphs. Set against this exotic backdrop is The Desert Resort , Mandawa.

The mystery and romance of the desert are captured in the unusual architecture of the resort. Recreated in the style of a typical Rajasthani village, The Desert Resort is a verdant oasis in the midst of a stark desert landscape. Visitors to this haven peopled by camels, peacocks, birds and khejri trees, can experience a whole new world - the aesthetic charm of the rural without compromising on luxury or comfort.

The Desert Resort reflects the traditional harmony between man and nature in the region.
