In a state brimming with history and opulence, this intimate, contemporary retreat is quietly carving out a niche as an agritourism destination blossoming in the midst of the austere Thar Desert.
Time Magazine, March 2026Before it was a hotel, it was a working farm, and still is — its restaurants serve only a small portion of what’s produced in its fields, gardens and orchards. To all of this Maro Khet adds just 10 cottages, each one a distinct variation on an eclectic style that includes traditional and contemporary influences and effortlessly combines hand-crafted décor with tastefully modern luxuries.

An Oasis on the Edge of the Desert
Set across 40 acres on the outskirts of Jodhpur, Mharo Khet emerges as a lush sanctuary within the arid expanse of the Thar Desert. This verdant landscape offers a rare opportunity to experience rural life in harmony with nature.
Farm Living, Reimagined
Guests are invited to engage with the rhythms of the land—whether through hands-on farming activities, leisurely walks among fields and trees, or simply enjoying the calm of open space. The experience is both immersive and restorative, rooted in authenticity and simplicity.
Private Cottages in Nature
Ten thoughtfully designed cottages are tucked deep within the farmland, offering privacy and a seamless connection to the surroundings. Natural materials, tactile finishes, and understated luxury create spaces that feel both refined and comfortingly familiar.
Experiences with Meaning
At Mharo Khet, every moment is designed to inspire and connect. From guided walking tours and interactive cooking sessions to plant-forward, multi-course dining experiences, the offering goes beyond the expected. Evenings come alive with soulful performances by the Manganiyars, bringing the cultural richness of Rajasthan into intimate focus.
A Journey of Taste and Tradition
Cuisine is rooted in the land itself, with farm-fresh ingredients shaping every dish. Each meal reflects a thoughtful approach to sustainability and flavour, offering guests a deeper understanding of the region’s culinary heritage.
