Mahua Vann Resorts
The Mahua Vann Resort is spread
in an area of thick forest and shrubs with a large seasonal river on one
side and a smaller one on the other side of the property. Both these
converge at the Sangam point, which has a large sandy patch and many
boulders strewn across. The resort is configured as a tribal village and the
cottage lay out gives a feel of privacy to each cottage with a view of
either of the two water bodies. The walk along the sandy bank of the bigger
nallah is more than one kilometer long. The resorts lay out and design is in
an eco friendly and vernacular style with the use of local building
materials and practices. The central areas and cottages blend with the
abundance of Mahua and other trees in a non intrusive and spatial fashion.
Emphasis on a sense of space as a perfect setting to savor nature for peace,
tranquility and reflection is done by design.
Cottage
Guest accommodation comprises of
12 spacious suites with 15 rooms to give the feel of contemporary bungalows
nestled amongst thick foliage. The colonial louvered doors and windows with
stained glass and the art deco furniture transforms the guest in nostalgia
of yesteryear bungalows.
The spacious suites with inter
linked and comfortable vanity space, bath, open shower areas and the wooden
deck with splendid view of the river and the forest can be very enchanting.
The open air showers are a distinctive feature with element of fun and
romance. The Palash deluxe suites provide Machans as a covered roof top as
sleep outs in the back drop of nature. All cottages are air conditioned and
give the comfort and conveniences of modern hotel rooms.
Conference Facility
The Nest enables round table
setups for 40 in an air conditioned hall. Conference for up to 100
participants is available in a mix of covered and open area. However, we
also encourage conferencing under the sprawling cluster of mahuas
The Nest area outside of the Conference hall is designed in a mosaic of
Jaisalmer, and Katni stone and terracotta brick work.The interesting mix of
open and covered spaces are used for games such as table tennis, carom,
chess etc. In the winter months the nest comes alive with barbecues and
bonfires.
Dining
The Indian tradition of
hospitality is incomplete without a satisfying culinary experience. Being in
the lap of nature and the wild, our hope is to provide our guests with menu
that are locally savored along with dishes and preparations that are
universally acclaimed "Indian Food", The Mahua Vann is well equipped with a
modern kitchen. Our well trained local chefs and the even smiling staff are
more than happy to help you prepare your own meal in the open Kitchen area
should our guests so desire.
The dining spaces are designed for you to relish your meals in multiple
locations. The 'Sambher Room' in warm colors of Jaisalmer and terra cotta is
your first choice for buffets and regular dining. Dining in a thatched and
open gazebo or an open wooden deck over looking a water body can be an
exciting option for the palate.
Barbecues and Tandoor in the open alongside the camp fire place in the
winters is another option.
The food menu has dishes and preparations locally savored. Simple authentic
recipes, organic fruits and vegetables are a part of the unique Mahua
experience.
All meals are served Buffet.
