À vivre

This impressive 17th-century fortress stands majestically above the Narmada river. You will be welcomed by Prince Shivaji Rao Holkar, son of the last Maharaja of Indore. A haven of peace with faultless service. A minimum stay of two nights is required, and you won't be disappointed!

Layout

Ahilya Fort comprises two royal suites, a luxury tent with a private garden and ornamental pool, 7 superior rooms and two standard rooms.
Breakfast is à la carte.
Other meals are taken table d'hôte style, either together or as a couple depending on preference. Light European cuisine is served at lunch, and Indian gastronomy drawn from the recipes of “La cuisine des Maharajahs”, written by your host, is served at dinner. There is no dining room — each meal is a small occasion, its setting changing every day.
Rowing boats and boatmen are available for an outing on the Narmada. Massages are also offered.

Rooms

The property has 12 rooms that have retained their old-world charm, spread across seven buildings. Some suites have a balcony overlooking the Narmada River. A luxury tent has been set up outside, with a private garden, ornamental pool and sweeping river views.

Each room has a bathroom, mini-safe, refrigerator, coffee machine or kettle. Only the suites and superior rooms are air-conditioned.

SPA

A massage service is available on request.

Activities offered

Mandu, Bakawa and Omkareshwar are a 1.5-hour drive away and well worth the visit. Some of the Rehwa weaving workshops are open to the public, offering a chance to discover a craft renowned throughout India and do some shopping along the way. The closest one is a 5-minute walk away.
