Inside Naila Fort, An Oberoi Private Residence

High on a gentle rise in the countryside outside Jaipur, where the Aravalli hills soften into silence, Naila Fort emerges not as a hotel but as a lived in legacy. Opening its doors on 15 February 2026, Naila Fort is The Oberoi Group’s first private luxury residence, and perhaps its most intimate expression of hospitality yet. Here is an exclusive sneak peek into the property.

Built in 1849 by the Champawat clan, the fort has been meticulously conserved and restored, retaining the soul of its noble past while being reimagined as an ultra luxury four bedroom private residence. This is not a place of arrivals and departures, but of belonging. The residence can only be reserved in its entirety, ensuring complete discretion, personal space and a sense of ownership that few luxury experiences offer today.

From the moment guests arrive, welcomed with a traditional Ganesh Vandana ceremony in the fort’s private temple, the pace of life shifts. Sunlit courtyards, carved archways, elegant salons and expansive terraces unfold with quiet grandeur. Antique furnishings, curated artworks and original architectural details anchor the fort firmly in its heritage, while contemporary comforts are seamlessly woven in.

Every corner of Naila Fort feels designed for unhurried living. Mornings may begin on a terrace overlooking the Aravalli landscape, afternoons spent drifting between shaded gardens and the swimming pool, and evenings unfolding in candlelit halls or under open skies. The countryside offers stillness, while Jaipur’s cultural heart remains an easy drive away for those seeking curated excursions or private city explorations.

Where Rajasthan’s Heritage Meets Absolute Privacy

Dining at Naila Fort is deeply personal and quietly spectacular. Oberoi chefs craft menus daily in consultation with guests, drawing inspiration from royal Rajasthani and Mughal kitchens alongside refined international cuisine. Meals are served wherever the moment feels right. In the mirror worked dining hall, by the pool, within the gardens or on terraces framed by the surrounding hills. Ingredients are thoughtfully sourced, and service is attentive yet unobtrusive, in keeping with Oberoi’s philosophy of gracious hospitality.

For The Oberoi Group, Naila Fort represents a meaningful evolution. As Executive Chairman Arjun Oberoi reflects, the restoration of the fort is both responsibility and reverence, proving that heritage when cared for with integrity continues to inspire contemporary life. CEO Vikram Oberoi describes the residence as an offering of something deeply personal. The freedom of a private home combined with the service philosophy and exacting standards that define Oberoi globally.

Ideal for intimate family gatherings, milestone celebrations or extended private stays, Naila Fort offers a rare opportunity to experience a living chapter of Rajasthan’s history. Here, architectural legacy, thoughtful conservation and understated luxury exist in quiet harmony. It is a place to slow down, to retreat inward, and to experience luxury not as spectacle but as serenity.
