India beckons as a divine destination for an Aman journey, where you'll immerse yourself in a rich cultural tapestry while retreating to serene havens of understated elegance and service.

Begin your 'Aman-state-of-mind' at The Lodhi, formerly Aman New Delhi, retaining its sleek, low-key vibe. Explore the vibrant contrasts of Old Delhi's bustling lanes filled with silk sarees, aromatic spices, and lively vendors. Visit iconic landmarks like the Red Fort, Jama Masjid, and Chandni Chowk. Then, experience the formal splendor of Lutyen's New Delhi with its grand boulevards, parks, Parliament Building, Rashtrapati Bhawan, and India Gate.

Next, venture to Ranthambore National Park, once a hunting ground of the Maharaja of Jaipur. Aman-i-Khas, Asia's most luxurious safari lodge, awaits with its centerpiece fire pit where guests gather for evening cocktails. Amidst chic surroundings, enjoy yoga by the lake, swim in the pool, relax in the library, or indulge in spa treatments in magnificent tented settings. Of course, the highlight here is the safari experience with expert guides, private jeeps, and celebratory drinks upon returning from tiger sightings.

Conclude your Aman journey at Amanbagh, a rural gem nestled in Rajasthan's Aravalli Mountains. Whether with family or as a couple, relish local excursions or simply unwind in the hotel's serene ambiance. Set amidst lush green lawns, palm trees, and Mughal architecture, Amanbagh offers minimalist Aman decor and experiences like dining under starlit skies, private pool retreats, camel rides, sunrise yoga at ancient temples, or village tours to witness pastoral life at dusk—a quintessential blend of beauty and romance in India.
