“A totally different type of relaxing vacation. If tented suites don’t sound luxurious, think again. Our suite had its own private jacuzzi and walled garden area with complete privacy. We enjoyed being able to just relax and slow down — the staff are amazingly friendly with a smile on their face at all times. An exotic and unique destination to... More

This was the last stop of our two week trip to Rajasthan and a stark contrast to all of the other hotels we have stayed in on this trip. But what a nice finale this was! This tented hotel is simple but luxuries yet unpretentious. Our tent has a spacious bedroom and bathroom and a sizable living area, plus a... More

Just go and enjoy The silence at this resort is broken by beautiful birds in the morning. Unmatched hospitality and experience at the private sand dunes away from the madding crowd is out of this world.

The Serai blew our socks right off. A perfect blend of understated luxury and exceptional service. Upon entering the property the outside world ceases to exist. It is the kind of place where nothing is too much trouble and where the service is excellent, but unobtrusive. The tents are spacious, beautifully decorated in muted desert tones and surrounded by silence.... More

The desert seems to absorb all sound! As I sit outside our beautiful Royal Suite Tent at The Serai, on the edge of the Thar desert some 40km outside of Jaisalmer, I’m astonished at the silence. It’s so rare to hear yourself and nothing else. And then there are the stars. A whole sky filled of shimmering dots, some brighter... More

Very remoted, elegant tented camp. Each spacious tent with a terrace lounge, air-con bedroom and a stylish bathroom. Six tent´s have private pools.There are also lounge and dining tents, set in an exclusive, walled-off compound. Gorgeous sunsets. The pool is small but very refreshing. Spa is good but not extraordinarily. Dining under canvas or under the stars. Wonderful! Food is... More

This is a real find and a perfect oasis in the Rajasthan desert. Beautiful property with great tented rooms. The service is unbelievable. The general manager, Jitin, is so attentive and anticipatory of your every need. It has my highest recommendation.

The Serai is an incredible tent oasis. Our family of 4 had an uniquely 'Out of India' experience for 3 nights. The Rajasthani food was delicious. (In fact, The Serai's kitchen made the best food we had on our 10 day India trip.) I also had the best massage of my life (and I've had quite a few) from the... More

Arriving to this property is a long journey approximately 4 hrs but well worth it. Rooms and amenities upto mark with any 5 star . Hospitality well that can leave a few with many stars a few miles at the back of the race and a give a good run. Simply great. The food is really the show stopper and... More
