What we think

Skylark only includes hotels that meet our stamp of approval. Our editorial review for this one isn’t ready yet — but we’re working on it! Below is the hotel’s own description.

Set on a 100-acre private estate of indigenous desert scrub near Jaisalmer, Rajasthan—The Serai draws inspiration from the royal caravan sites of Rajputana; blending the luxury and vivacity of this land of kings. There is no better place from which to venture into the environs of Jaisalmer to discover its fabled golden fortress, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Serai is a true oasis for rest and rejuvenation in the desert, mapped out with precision and detail—offering luxury private tents with amenities such as a private spa, outdoor pool, dining and lounge tents.
