Black Rock Hotels & Resorts launches a 10-key jungle retreat in Ranthambore
Aamaghati Farm Stay
Managed by Black Rock Hotels & Resorts, The Farm Stay is the company's second hospitality offering in Ranthambore, joining AamaGhati Wildlife Resort.
Black Rock Hotels & Resorts has announced the opening of The Farm Stay by AamaGhati, a 10-key boutique retreat in Village Sherpur, Ranthambore. Originally a private family home owned by Abhishek Hissaria, the property has been converted into an intimate hospitality retreat.
The property's small inventory and residential-style accommodation are designed to preserve the privacy and personal atmosphere of a forest home. The retreat features 10 rooms, each measuring about 700 sq. ft., with separate living areas and private balconies overlooking the surrounding landscape. One of the property's distinguishing features is said to be the opportunity to observe wildlife from within the retreat.
Commenting on the opening, Gaurav Mudgal, Managing Director, Black Rock Hotels & Resorts, said, “What makes The Farm Stay special is that the house sits within the jungle landscape itself. Guests can spend time on the terrace and spot deer such as chital and sambar moving through the surrounding wilderness, while langurs and birds are often visible in the trees. Ranthambore is sometimes reduced to one question: did you see a tiger? We wanted to create a stay where the hours outside the park are equally meaningful. The property's strength lies in its scale, history, and natural surroundings, and our role has been to preserve that intimacy while bringing in the service standards of a professionally managed retreat.”
The Farm Stay incorporates a working farm and an attached strawberry farm, with fresh produce used in meals served at the property's restaurant. For wellness and recreation, the retreat features a swimming pool and the Sri Sri Wellbeing Centre, along with a games room and dedicated children's activity area.
Speaking about the property's transition from a family residence, Abhishek Hissaria, Owner, AamaGhati, said, “This was our home before it became a hotel, and we did not want to lose that feeling when we decided to open it to guests. Ranthambore is at its best when you give it time. Some of my favourite moments here have nothing to do with being inside a safari vehicle. They are the mornings when the birds take over the trees, watching animals move through the wider landscape, or simply sitting outside and listening to the forest. The Farm Stay grew out of that very personal relationship with the place.”
Managed by Black Rock Hotels & Resorts, The Farm Stay is the company's second hospitality offering in Ranthambore, joining AamaGhati Wildlife Resort. The two properties aims to cater to different traveller preferences. While AamaGhati Wildlife Resort offers a full-scale destination resort experience, The Farm Stay provides a smaller, residential-style retreat focused on privacy, nature, birdwatching, and local experiences.
