See eye to ‘Eye of the Tiger’

Welcome to Six Senses Fort Barwara, the beautifully restored 14th-century fort situated in the culturally rich province of Rajasthan, India, where the world-renowned tigers of Ranthambore National Park roam only a short distance away. The property faces the charming village of Barwara to the west and the rocky outcrops of the Aravalli mountain range to the north and east. Its significant conservation efforts reinterpret the regal ambience of a bygone era.

As you wander the corridors of Six Senses Fort Barwara, you are perpetually transported back in time to the Golden Age of Indian heritage hospitality with a relic, fresco, or artifact at every turn. However, you are gently drawn back to the present with state-of-the-art amenities, biohacking, innovative cuisine concepts and pioneering wellness.

Eye of the Tiger Integrated Wellness Experience

Designed by our experts, a unique blend of high-tech science and high-touch therapies has been brought together into a five-day integrated wellness experience, Eye of the Tiger. This immersive stay includes all wellness aspects, from culinary journeys that embrace our Eat With Six Senses philosophy to full body massages, healing sound therapy, cultural comprehension and wildlife encounters.

You’ll be treated to breakfast, lunch, and dinner; access to our spa facilities and daily spa treatment or wellness session; daily group activities including yoga, meditation, and fitness sessions; sleep tracking for three nights; and two hours of sacred downtime each day. Local excursions include a Wildlife Safari Experience to spot the majestic Bengal tiger.

Day One

Receive your wellness screening, personalized consultation, and dietary and lifestyle advice upon arrival. Have fun at our Alchemy Bar, where sustainability and wellness hold hands, and learn how to make your own bespoke potions. Go on a heritage and horticulture walk as you journey through the rich history of Fort Barwara and delve deeper to peel back the layers of the local culture, stories, traditions, myths, and rituals. At the same time, learn about our sensitive use of horticulture, where we use only endemic flora to recreate the beauty of the lost wild landscapes of Rajasthan. End the day with evening prayers and seek blessings at the 14th-century temple.

Day Two

Start off on the right foot with a 45-minute Private Fitness session and a 60-minute spa treatment, either a Holistic or Deep Tissue Massage. Venture out for the Wildlife Safari Experience and see if you can spot the majestic tigers. Once the former hunting grounds of the Maharajas of Jaipur, the Ranthambore National Park today draws the attention of many passionate wildlife lovers and photographers. Expert naturalists lead the way showing you all things large and small in the wild. After the tigers roar, your soul will soar with high tea from the fort’s vantage point on the ramparts overlooking Barwara village and lake.

Day Three

Take a morning hike to the Chauth Mata Temple also known as the Chauth ka Temple, that stands proudly on the hilltop towering 1,100 feet above Barwara village. Legend has it that goddess Chauth Mata decreed to the Maharaja Bhim Singh in his dream to be worshipped, whereupon he had the temple built. Wind down with our 90-minute Tiger’s Eye treatment, which helps you to release fear and anxiety, and aids harmony and balance. Try out a pottery session with the local craftsman from Barwara village.

Day Four

Start the day with a 60-minute Detox Massage or Udwartana, followed by a 30-minute Trataka Candle Meditation, which incorporates gazing at the gentle flame of a candle to bring focus and stillness to the body and mind. Make your own yummy lip balm at our Earth Lab sustainability workshop and set your creativity free by trying your hand at block printing, the native art of Rajasthan.

Day Five

Spend a glorious hour going on a Transcendent Sound Journey offered in our sacred meditation hall. Let the healing sounds of the gong and singing bowls reverberate through your inner layers to find your true, limitless nature. Refresh your senses in our spa with a 30-minute Relaxed Feet, Tension Soother, or Head Massage. May we tempt you to a movie night with popcorn and beverages?

Roar and soar

Depart feeling better than you arrived, with trinkets to bring back home from your Eye of the Tiger adventure.
