Guest Areas & Accommodation at Baghvan
Receive a hearty welcome in a cool, airy and contemporary
sitting room, made cosy with deep inviting sofas. High
ceilings, cement screed floors, overhead fans and huge
windows that let in the jungle breeze form the frame for a
canvas of handmade Parsi tiles, woven hyacinth furniture
and giant ebony chests. Absorb the culinary traditions of
the state in the interactive open kitchen that spills out
into the dining area, stroll along the shaded deck down to
the river bed (nullah), cool off in the pool that hugs its
contours or browse away the time in the Safari shop or
library. Theres plenty to do, even before you settle in
for your stay.
Once you do, sink into the cheeky 50s ambience in
rustic-yet-contemporary bungalow suites, with their
palettes of copper and pale turquoise and cool pale cream
cement floors. Wake up with the soft first rays of the sun
filtering through the Jharokha (wooden latticed bay
window) in your spacious air-conditioned bedroom. Melt
into nature with large courtyards, private shaded
sit-outs, an outdoor shower and a romantic rooftop
sleep-out on a private machan (jungle platform). The
machan is protected with a mosquito net, refreshed with an
overhead fan and accessorised with a hookah. In the summer
months, a traditional Khus screen is sprinkled with water,
which cools the breeze wafting in and scents it with a
lovely fragrance.
