A Serene Outdoor Setting in the Aravalli Wilderness

The Poolside at Amanbagh is one of the resort's most evocative open-air event spaces, set against the dramatic backdrop of the Aravalli hills in Ajabgarh, Alwar district, Rajasthan. Amanbagh itself is a celebrated Aman property conceived in the spirit of a Mughal pleasure garden — the name translates to "peaceful garden" — and the Poolside space carries that ethos fully. With the resort's signature pavilion-style architecture, lush landscaped gardens, and the shimmering reflections of the pool, the setting offers a visual grandeur that is entirely natural rather than constructed. The atmosphere is intimate and unhurried, consistent with Aman's globally recognised approach to small-group luxury hospitality.

Events here unfold beneath open skies, framed by terracotta-toned architecture and mature greenery that soften the Rajasthani landscape into something contemplative and beautiful. Evenings in particular take on a special quality: as the sun descends over the Aravallis, the ambient light transforms the water's surface and the surrounding stone into warm, golden tones, creating a backdrop that requires very little supplementary decoration to feel extraordinary.

Events & Occasions

The Poolside lends itself naturally to private celebrations and intimate gatherings rather than large-scale conventions. It is particularly well suited to destination wedding ceremonies and receptions, anniversary dinners, sundowner cocktail parties, and exclusive corporate retreats where atmosphere and exclusivity are priorities. Amanbagh's broader ethos — the resort caters to small, discerning groups — means that events at the Poolside benefit from a high staff-to-guest ratio and a level of personalised attention that larger banquet venues rarely offer.

Bespoke dining experiences, whether curated multi-course dinners or al fresco cocktail receptions, are a natural fit for the space. The resort's culinary team is known for drawing on local Rajasthani ingredients and traditions, which can be woven meaningfully into event menus to give guests a genuinely regional experience. For wedding planners seeking a location that feels both luxurious and deeply rooted in its landscape, the Poolside at Amanbagh offers a combination that is difficult to replicate.

Location & Access

Amanbagh is located in Ajabgarh, within the Alwar district of Rajasthan, approximately 90 kilometres south of Jaipur. The resort sits close to the ancient walled city of Bhangarh — one of Rajasthan's most historically noted sites — and is within reach of the Sariska Tiger Reserve, giving destination event guests a rich context of heritage and wildlife to explore alongside their celebration. Jaipur International Airport is the most practical air gateway for guests travelling from within India or internationally, with road transfers through the Rajasthani countryside providing a scenic approach to the property. Alwar railway station also provides a rail connection for guests travelling by train. The resort's secluded position, away from urban density, reinforces the sense of arrival and exclusivity that makes destination events here feel genuinely set apart.
