The Serai, Jaisalmer
Luxe desert camp on the plain of Jhabra

Situated on a flat desert scrubland with nothing but the occasional farmstead for company, The Serai, Jaisalmer presents the ultimate in tented luxury, accommodating guests in a royal-caravan style of old. The walls may be fabric, but the furnishings and facilities are solid – think tented suites with private gardens and sunken pools, and upping the opulence quotient in the Royal Tent, a private outdoor pool and dining tents offer further bliss. A club-chair-furnished bar provides a cosseting space to sup in comfort, the ideal respite after a day out on camelback safari.
