Tucked into the Thar Desert, 90 km from Jodhpur on the Jaisalmer highway, Kaner sits beside a sacred grove — locally known as an Oran — within one of Rajasthan's most storied landscapes. A founders-led boutique retreat where intimacy is by design, just 10 rooms across 7 acres, alive with authentic connections to the communities and land that surround it. Every stay brings real stories, honest warmth, and moments that linger long after you leave.
Kaner is among a rare few Indian hospitality projects to be recognised on the global stage — featured in Desert Escapes by Lannoo Publishers and Desert by Design by Abrams Publishers, where it stands as the only Indian property. Founder Sapna Bhatia has been celebrated on the cover of Condé Nast Traveller India, affirming Kaner as one of Rajasthan's most distinctive luxury escapes. This is a place the world has discovered. Come and see why.

Our Thar Unplugged itinerary is not a tour — it's a journey into the soul of the Thar Desert.
Trace the full arc of desert cuisine, from a sun-dried feast under open skies to an intimate 7-course lunch in our Pottery Museum, where food and craft are woven together by the story of the five elements. Guided walks lead you to a sacred grove that has quietly shaped the Thar's culinary and textile traditions for centuries. Evenings dissolve into one of the desert's legendary sunsets. At the Ramsar wetland of Khichan, stand in quiet awe as thousands of Demoiselle Cranes descend—one of nature's most breathtaking migrations.
The Thar beyond the postcard. Unhurried, layered, and entirely your own.
