Sterling Holiday Resorts has introduced Sterling Ratan Villas Jawai, an elegant jungle retreat set amidst the dramatic landscapes of Rajasthan’s premier leopard country. This marks Sterling’s eighth property in Rajasthan, further deepening its presence in a state known for its wildlife, heritage, and distinctive landscapes.

Situated amidst 30 acres of unspoiled farmland, it caters to those who seek both adventure and serenity—whether tracking Jawai’s elusive leopards or unwinding in its pristine wilderness.

A key addition to Sterling’s Rajasthan portfolio

“Sterling Ratan Villas Jawai is a key addition to our Rajasthan portfolio. The state’s unique mix of wildlife and cultural tourism makes it an undeniable choice for discerning travellers. This also brings to the itinerary a one-of-a-kind circuit between our Sterling resorts in a hill station like Mount Abu, a heritage destination like Udaipur, and a wilderness escape like Jawai,” said Vikram Lalvani, Managing Director & CEO, Sterling Holiday Resorts.

Designed to blend seamlessly with the terrain, the resort features thoughtfully curated accommodations, ranging from intimate Jawai Rooms to expansive Pool Villas with private courtyards. Select suites also offer private plunge pools, creating an exclusive retreat amidst the wilderness. For large families, the two and four bedroom suites with additional large-sized bunker beds offer more avenues to relax.

A culinary journey through Rajasthan

The resort’s culinary experiences celebrate Rajasthan’s rich flavours. Chulha, an all-day dining restaurant, serves authentic local delicacies like Godwadi Maans and Pather Kutta Gosht, crafted with fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Soviet; the bar and alfresco inspired by 1970s Soviet graffiti offers a bold selection of regional spirits and inventive cocktails, while Robin, the coffee lounge and library, provides a laid-back escape with artisanal brews and fusion snacks.

Aligning with the product is our association with Sterling Holidays—India’s leading leisure hospitality brand. We are confident that together we will bring more attention and a much-needed boost to the destination,” said Sawai Singh Chaudhary and Siddharth Singh Chaudhary, Owners, Ratan Villas Hospitality.

Unforgettable wilderness experiences

The resort goes beyond opulent accommodations and gourmet dining—it is designed as a gateway to extraordinary experiences. Guests can embark on day and night jeep safaris, led by expert trackers. For those seeking cultural immersion, heritage treks offer a glimpse into the timeless traditions of the Rabari community, whose nomadic lifestyle has remained unchanged for centuries. Guided visits to Ranakpur Temple and Kumbhalgarh Fort further enrich the experience. Guests can also enjoy private bush dinners by the crocodile pond, a surreal setting where nature takes center stage under a canopy of stars.

A retreat for relaxation and adventure

The resort also caters to wellness seekers with bespoke experiences designed for relaxation and rejuvenation. From a sundowner with high tea by the Jawai River to curated nature treks revealing the region’s diverse flora and fauna, every aspect of the stay is crafted to provide a deeper connection with the land. Whether it’s an expedition into the wild or a stargazing experience, this retreat offers a rare chance to connect with Rajasthan in its most authentic form.
