Six Senses Fort Barwara

From the fortress to the sanctuary

Six Senses Barwara is a splendid 14th-century fort, thoughtfully converted into a sanctuary of hospitality and wellness by the Six Senses group. Originally owned by the Rajasthani royal family, it faces the Chauth ka Barwara Mandir temple. The historic fort has been carefully preserved and reconverted to house two restaurants, a bar and a lounge, a 2,800 m² spa and fitness centre, two swimming pools and 48 suites within the site's original walls. The landscaping reflects the fort's royal history through the integration of traditional gardens and water features.
