Across the laid-back vibes of sugarcane- laden fields, mountainous backdrops and breezy beaches, Bandana Jain explores a tropical island, which is far more than the quintessential honeymooner’s destination. It’s surely for reasons like these that some travelers don’t mind flying as much as thirty- hours to enjoy this paradise isle called Mauritius! Through my aircraft window, I could see a thin film of clouds giving way to the beauty of the greenery beneath. Voila, such a hearty welcome by Mother Nature! Our joys were multiplied when on ground zero, we were able to enjoy the surreal views through the glass façade of the airport, even as we worked our way through the immigration checks. As we entered the gates of our Hotel Riu Creole, there were coconut trees everywhere. A huge banyan tree majestically perched in the centre of the aesthetically- designed lobby and we could already feel the tropical island excitement sinking in. Our hotel room was a spacious one with the ...

Barely 100 km from Delhi, this early 19th century palace "non- hotel" is a classic combo of regality and modern art. When it comes to heritage revival, nobody does it better than Aman Nath. He is like a magician who seems to turn ruins into elegant heritage properties with the magical touch of his intuition, imagination and practiced skills. The historian cum renaissance person who writes, designs, lectures and promotes Neemrana, started his saga of resurrection with the eminent Neemrana Fort-Palace which has been drawing crowds ever since 1971. His uncanny talent to restore old properties into viable economic properties continues and today he carries the credit of reviving and running as many as 17 stunning heritage hotels in the Neemrana portfolio. Aman Nath’s pet project, the Neemrana group of hotels is a gorgeous testament to the fact that history, when restored and resurrected, can emerge far more beautiful than probably, the original product. Amongst ...
