Set on a sprawling 7-acre property with just 10 spacious rooms , Kaner Retreat showcases an intimate introduction into the quiet brilliance of Rajasthan's Thar Desert. Kaner has been featured in Desert Escapes - The World's most incredible stays a prestigious coffee table book published internationally by Lannoo Publishers in Belgium. It also holds the unique distinction of being the only hospitality project from India included in the iconic Desert by Design book published by US Based Abrams publishers.
Each of our 10 spacious villas draws inspiration from the plants in the region. The colours, designs and accents take a cue from the commissioned botanical art. A private courtyard is an invitation to indoor-outdoor living. Local stone, reclaimed wood, antiques, art and space create an eclectic living experience.
At Kaner guests can relish the diversity of fresh food. Our kitchen is inspired by the age old recipes of the people of Thar and the availability of modern desert produce allows us to create a contemporary cuisine. Guests can enjoy a traditional thali, a 5 course modern marwar meal and also savour Mediterranean inspired food.
Kaner Clay is home to the Thar Desert Pottery exhibition which has been meticulously curated by artist, folklorist and curator Dr. Madan Meena. In harmony with the exhibition's theme, Chef Pankaj Sharma (recognized as one of Condenast Traveller's 40 under 40: India's most exciting chefs) has designed a special seven-course lunch. Guests will enjoy a guided tour of the exhibition, followed by this memorable culinary experience.
