FINDING Luxury IN SIMPLICITY

I ARRIVED AT ANANTA AJABGARH, WHERE TIME SLOWS, UNTAINTED BY THE CHAOS OF THE CITY.

- Abhya Adlakha

In an age of White Lotus-like opulence, properties like Ananta Spa & Resort offer a profound alternative — a return to elemental simplicity. Situated in the embrace of the Aravalli Range, this 30-acre sanctuary stands as a testament to Chairman Mukund Goyal’s vision: that true indulgence lies not in ostentation, but in reconnection—with nature, heritage, and ultimately, oneself.

As Delhi's relentless urban energy and the lingering pollution faded in my review mirror, there was a specific moment when mountain silhouettes formed and the fresh air filled my lungs. With the sun painting the sky in soft hues, we cruised along thenew highway, slicing effortlessly through golden fields and rugged landscapes.

We meandered through the tiny town of Ajabgarh, past its historic fort with weathered stone walls, and finally arrived at Ananta Ajabgarh. The first thing that struck me was the sheer openness. There were no buildings clawing at the sky, no obstructive structures — just a vast stretch of land embraced by the Aravallis mountain range.

The lobby was a seamless extension of the landscape-earthy tones, simple minimalistic details, and an atmosphere of ease. The hospitality was warm and intimate, with the Chairman, Mr. Goyal himself waiting to greet us as we arrived. As we spoke briefly about the property, it was glaringly obvious that this was not just another luxury retreat to him, it was a passion project, a love letter to Rajasthan.
