아만이카스

We travel a lot around the world, and this was by far one of the best hotels we’ve ever stayed at. What truly made it magical is the incredible service from our Batman, Bijay, who came pick us up all the way to Delhi and took such good care of us. Also, our safari drivers, with a special shoutout to Deep, who went above and beyond to find the tigers so we could see them before leaving! I am thankful for evryone that made this trip one of my favorite ones yet.

After two and a half weeks of luxury hotels in Rajasthan (Oberoi, Taj, Aman)…Aman-i-Khas still topped them all in what I can only describe as one of the more special and unique hotel experiences on Earth. The property itself is stunning. Right on the edge of Ranthamore, it feels completely remote but is still convenient. The tents are absolutely spectacular and it’s almost unable to describe in words how incredible the ten private guest tents are. The ceilings are soaring, soaking tub & shower spectacular, massive lounger is incredible (we loved playing Scrabble here every night), bed is dream-level comfortable, and the design is utterly elegant. Meals, safaris, spa…everything was exceptional. However, to me what makes Aman-i-Khas so utterly one-of-a-kind are the people. Our naturalist and driver were fantastic and literally moved heaven and Earth to let us finally spot a tiger on the last of our three game drives. The spa attendants were fantastic. With all that being said…it’s the Batman (a modern day butler) who really make this property so spectacular. And, KC, our Batman, was without a doubt the most incredible and special and thoughtful person we have ever met while traveling. His kindness, warmth, sense of humor, and hospitality are simply beyond compare. It’s honestly taken a year for me to write this review because it’s really almost too hard to summarize how much of a connection we felt with him. He was our personal butler for our entire stay, beginning with him waking us up with fresh tea and fruit, to serving us all three meals, setting us up with thermos and blankets and picnics for our game drives, and even surprising us in the middle of the wilds on a horseback safari (if you are an equestrian—DO THIS) with hot chai tea and breakfast overlooking a seemingly endless expanse of wilderness. We loved getting to know him, learning about his life and family, and hearing his story. It is rare you meet someone with such a generous and warm spirit and, without a doubt, it was KC that made our trip so wonderful.
