India
Parc national de Velavadar
Settled into a luxurious room fitted with an array of modern amenities, you can watch from the terrace as the colours of the grasslands shift and the wildlife reveals itself. The elegant Indian antelope known as the blackbuck ventures close to the cottages, while globally threatened bird species can be spotted in the surrounding scrub.
For a deeper wildlife experience, the lodge offers blackbuck safaris in custom-built jeeps with experienced drivers and naturalist guides. Book a bush dinner — a romantic experience in a stunning setting, lit by dozens of lanterns, with a campfire and open-air barbecue under the starlit sky of Blackbuck National Park.
Each of the 14 cottages at Blackbuck Lodge is a room with a patio, lounge area, bedroom, indoor and outdoor bathroom, and a terrace overlooking the exquisite beauty of the bush. The interiors are a perfect combination of rustic charm and contemporary elegance. Rooms feature polished wood furniture and granite floors, raw stone walls, wooden log posts holding bedside lamps, and an alcove along the window with mattresses and bolster cushions that can serve as a lounging spot with a view or an extra sleeping area.
