The Croquet Lawn at Amanbagh is one of the most distinctive open-air event spaces within this celebrated heritage retreat in Ajabgarh, Alwar, Rajasthan. Amanbagh itself is a luxury property inspired by Mughal garden architecture, and the Croquet Lawn reflects that same sense of considered elegance — a manicured expanse of green set against the arid Aravalli hills, where the landscape itself becomes part of the atmosphere. Whether bathed in the warm light of a Rajasthani sunset or lit gently under a canopy of stars, the lawn offers an outdoor setting that is genuinely rare in this part of India.
The property's design draws on the heritage of the region, with pavilions, pink sandstone architecture, and lush gardens that evoke the grandeur of a Mughal pleasure garden. The Croquet Lawn sits within this broader estate, providing a natural focal point for outdoor gatherings that feel anchored in place and history rather than staged in a generic banquet facility.
The Croquet Lawn is particularly well suited to intimate celebrations and curated social gatherings. Destination weddings and pre-wedding functions — from mehendi ceremonies to sundowner cocktail evenings — find a natural home here, where the open-sky setting adds a sense of occasion that no indoor hall can replicate. The lawn is equally appealing for private corporate retreats, small-group incentive programmes, and exclusive social dinners where the boundary between event and landscape dissolves naturally.
Amanbagh's wider approach to events is built around personalised service and bespoke arrangements. The property's events and hospitality teams work closely with guests and planners to configure the lawn for specific occasions, handling everything from décor to dining setups tailored to the brief. Because Amanbagh operates as a private retreat with a limited number of suites, events hosted here carry an inherent exclusivity — the property is rarely shared with unrelated guests during a buyout or a carefully managed function.
Amanbagh is located in Ajabgarh, within the Alwar district of Rajasthan, approximately 90 kilometres from Jaipur and around 150 kilometres from New Delhi. This positioning places it within reach of two major cities while maintaining the seclusion that defines the Aman experience. The nearby Sariska Tiger Reserve adds a layer of natural and cultural context that resonates particularly with guests travelling from abroad or from India's metropolitan centres.
Alwar itself is steeped in Rajput history, and the drive to Amanbagh passes through landscapes that are part of that living heritage. For destination event planners, this means arrivals become part of the experience rather than a logistical hurdle to be endured. The property can assist with guest transfers, and its relative proximity to Jaipur International Airport makes it accessible for both domestic and international attendees. For events held on the Croquet Lawn, the surrounding grounds and the Aravalli backdrop combine to create a visual setting that photographs and films beautifully — a consideration that matters increasingly to modern event clients.

The Croquet Lawn is well suited to a range of outdoor occasions, including destination weddings, pre-wedding functions such as mehendi or cocktail evenings, private corporate retreats, incentive programmes, and exclusive social dinners. Its open-sky setting and Mughal garden-inspired surroundings make it especially popular for milestone celebrations. Prospective clients should speak with the Amanbagh events team to confirm availability and suitability for their specific event format.
Amanbagh's architecture and landscape are inspired by Mughal garden traditions, featuring pink sandstone structures, manicured greenery, and pavilions set against the Aravalli hills. The Croquet Lawn sits within this estate, so the heritage aesthetic becomes a natural backdrop for any event held there. This sense of place distinguishes the lawn from generic outdoor venues and adds a distinctive character that resonates in event photography and guest experience alike.
Exact guest capacity for the Croquet Lawn depends on the event format, seating style, and any additional structures such as marquees or canopies that may be arranged. The Amanbagh events team can advise on the maximum numbers suitable for a seated dinner versus a standing reception. It is best to contact the property directly with your event brief to receive a tailored capacity recommendation.
Amanbagh operates as a boutique retreat with a limited number of suites, and full property buyouts can be arranged for groups wishing to have exclusive access to the estate, including the Croquet Lawn. This approach is particularly popular for destination weddings and corporate retreats that require privacy and a seamless guest experience. Interested parties should reach out to the Amanbagh reservations and events team to discuss buyout terms and availability.
Ajabgarh sits in the Aravalli hills of Rajasthan, where winters (October to February) offer cool, pleasant evenings ideal for outdoor events, and the monsoon season (July to September) brings rain that may affect open-air settings. The most favoured period for outdoor functions on the Croquet Lawn is the cooler months, when the landscape is lush and temperatures are comfortable. The Amanbagh team can advise on weather contingency options and any shelter arrangements available for different seasons.
Amanbagh's events team works closely with clients to arrange bespoke décor and styling that complement the property's heritage aesthetic and the client's vision. Given the lawn's Mughal garden setting, décor choices that draw on Rajasthani or Indo-Persian traditions tend to feel particularly cohesive, though contemporary and destination-wedding styles are equally accommodated. Specific décor vendors, in-house options, and any restrictions should be confirmed directly with the property.
Amanbagh has its own culinary team capable of producing customised menus for events, drawing on both regional Rajasthani cuisine and broader Indian and international options. Dining arrangements on the Croquet Lawn — whether a formal seated dinner, a cocktail reception, or a traditional Indian meal — can be tailored to the event's scale and theme. Details on external catering vendors and any exclusivity arrangements should be verified with the property's events department.
Amanbagh is located approximately 90 kilometres from Jaipur, making Jaipur International Airport the most convenient air gateway for both domestic and international guests. The property can assist with guest transfers, and the drive from Jaipur takes guests through the scenic Rajasthani landscape, which many find to be part of the overall experience. Those travelling from New Delhi can reach Amanbagh in roughly 150 kilometres, with road transfer being the most practical option.
Amanbagh is situated near the Sariska Tiger Reserve, one of Rajasthan's significant wildlife sanctuaries, which makes it an attractive destination for guests who wish to combine an event with a nature or heritage experience. The Alwar district is also rich in Rajput history, with forts and palaces within reach of the property. The Amanbagh team can advise on curated guest experiences and excursions that complement a multi-day event programme.
Open-air events on the Croquet Lawn can typically be equipped with lighting, sound, and audio-visual support, though specific in-house inventory and any approved external vendors should be confirmed with the events team. Given the heritage and natural setting of the lawn, ambient lighting solutions such as lanterns, fairy lights, and uplighting are commonly used to preserve the estate's aesthetic. Clients are encouraged to share their AV and technical requirements early in the planning process.
Amanbagh offers a collection of suites and pool villas on the property itself, making it well suited to residential events where guests stay on site. The limited number of rooms reinforces the boutique, exclusive character of the retreat and means that guest accommodation should be reserved well in advance for event dates. The Amanbagh reservations team can provide suite counts, villa configurations, and room-block arrangements for event groups.
Ajabgarh's location away from major urban centres means light pollution is minimal, and the Croquet Lawn benefits from genuinely dark evening skies that make outdoor night events feel especially atmospheric. Evening celebrations — from cocktail sundowners to star-lit dinners — take on a quality that is difficult to replicate in city venues. This natural feature is one of the reasons the Croquet Lawn is particularly sought after for romantic and destination-style events.
As a heritage retreat set within a relatively quiet natural environment, Amanbagh may have guidelines around music volume and event timings on the Croquet Lawn to maintain the tranquility of the estate and respect local norms. Any specific curfews, sound restrictions, or permitting requirements should be clarified directly with the Amanbagh events team before finalising an event programme. Planning around these guidelines early helps ensure the event schedule runs smoothly.
Enquiries for the Croquet Lawn are best directed to Amanbagh's dedicated events and reservations team through the official Aman website at aman.com or by contacting the property directly. The team will typically request details about the event date, type, approximate guest count, and any specific requirements before preparing a tailored proposal. Availability for peak wedding and event seasons — particularly the cooler months between October and February — is limited and early enquiry is advisable.
Amanbagh's estate setting includes space for guest vehicles, and the property is accustomed to hosting events where guests arrive by private car or organised transfer. Given the property's location and the nature of destination events, many guests travel by coordinated transport rather than independently, which the Amanbagh team can help facilitate. Specific parking capacity and any arrangements for large convoys or wedding processions should be confirmed with the property in advance.
