About The Poolside
A Living Heritage Setting by the Water
The Poolside at Khaas Bagh Jodhpur is an open-air event space set against the backdrop of this restored heritage property in Ratanada, one of Jodhpur's quieter and more residential neighbourhoods. Khaas Bagh itself is a century-old haveli-style estate that has been thoughtfully revived to reflect the grandeur of Marwari aristocratic living, and The Poolside draws directly on that character. The space wraps around the property's swimming pool, offering a setting where hand-carved sandstone detailing, manicured grounds, and the warm hues of Jodhpur's architectural palette come together under open skies. Whether lit by afternoon sun or strung with ambient evening lighting, the atmosphere here is distinctly Rajasthani — rooted in heritage yet entirely suited to contemporary celebrations.
Events at The Poolside carry a natural elegance that few purpose-built banquet halls can replicate. The interplay of water, stone, and sky creates a visual depth that works equally well for intimate gatherings and larger social celebrations. Guests experience the property's heritage character firsthand, making every event feel like a private occasion held within a living piece of Jodhpur's history.
Events & Occasions
The Poolside is particularly well suited to weddings and pre-wedding functions — mehendi ceremonies, cocktail evenings, sangeet nights, and sundowner gatherings all find a natural home in this format. The open-air setting lends itself to the layered, multi-event structure that destination weddings in Rajasthan typically follow, allowing décor, lighting, and furniture arrangements to be transformed from one function to the next.
Corporate groups and retreat planners are also drawn to the space for its ability to offer something beyond the standard conference room: networking sundowners, team dinners, and product launches staged against a heritage backdrop carry a memorability that urban hotel venues rarely match. The Ratanada location, away from the congestion of the old city, makes it a practical choice for outstation guests who value ease of access alongside a sense of arrival.
Smaller social celebrations — milestone birthdays, anniversary dinners, family reunions — benefit from the intimacy the poolside format naturally creates. Guests can move freely between the water's edge and seating areas, giving the event a relaxed, flowing quality that feels more like a hosted gathering than a formal function.
Location & Atmosphere
Khaas Bagh sits in Ratanada, a neighbourhood in the western part of Jodhpur that is relatively calm compared to the city's busier quarters, yet well connected to the main road network. The property is accessible from Jodhpur's railway station and Jodhpur Airport, making it a convenient base for guests arriving from across Rajasthan or from other cities. The Blue City's skyline, with the Mehrangarh Fort visible in the distance from various points around Jodhpur, provides an iconic regional context that frames destination events here with an unmistakable sense of place. For planners seeking a venue where the setting itself becomes part of the event's story, The Poolside at Khaas Bagh delivers that without contrivance.

Specific guest capacity figures for The Poolside have not been publicly confirmed on the official Khaas Bagh website. Capacity is likely to vary depending on the seating arrangement and event format chosen. It is best to contact the Khaas Bagh team directly with your expected guest count so they can advise on layout options and feasibility.
Khaas Bagh Jodhpur is a heritage property that functions as a boutique stay, and guest rooms are available on the estate. Hosting an event at The Poolside therefore gives outstation guests the option of staying on-site within the same heritage setting. Room availability and block-booking arrangements for event groups should be confirmed with the reservations team.
Khaas Bagh is a restored century-old haveli-style estate featuring hand-carved sandstone detailing and grounds that reflect the Marwari aristocratic aesthetic of Jodhpur. Events held at The Poolside benefit from this backdrop directly, with the architectural textures and manicured surroundings forming a natural décor element. The result is a setting that carries the storytelling quality of a private heritage estate rather than a conventional banquet venue.
The Poolside at Khaas Bagh is particularly well matched to the multi-function structure of destination weddings, accommodating ceremonies such as mehendi, cocktail evenings, and sangeet nights across different setups. Ratanada's relatively calm location within Jodhpur, combined with the property's heritage ambience and on-site stay options, makes it a practical and atmospheric choice for couples planning a Rajasthani destination wedding. Couples are encouraged to schedule a site visit and speak with the events team about full wedding packages.
Khaas Bagh is situated in Ratanada, a residential neighbourhood in the western part of Jodhpur, Rajasthan. The area is well connected to the city's main road network and is accessible from both Jodhpur Railway Station and Jodhpur Airport, making arrival straightforward for outstation guests. The Khaas Bagh team can provide precise directions and assist with guest transfer arrangements upon request.
The open-air format of The Poolside lends itself to flexible décor and lighting transformations, and the space can be dressed differently for successive functions within the same event — for example, shifting from a daytime mehendi setup to an evening cocktail arrangement. The heritage sandstone surroundings complement both traditional Rajasthani florals and contemporary styling. Specific décor policies, approved vendors, and any restrictions should be discussed with the Khaas Bagh events team during the planning process.
Khaas Bagh operates as a hospitality property with food and beverage service as part of its offering, and in-house catering is expected to be available for events. Whether outside caterers are permitted is a policy detail that should be confirmed directly with the property team. Guests with specific menu requirements — such as cuisine preferences or dietary needs — are advised to discuss these during the booking conversation.
Details about built-in AV equipment, sound systems, projection facilities, and power infrastructure at The Poolside are not publicly specified on the Khaas Bagh website. Outdoor event spaces of this nature typically support the installation of temporary AV setups, and the property's events team would be the right point of contact to understand what is available in-house and what would need to be arranged through external vendors.
As an open-air venue in the residential Ratanada neighbourhood of Jodhpur, The Poolside may be subject to local municipal noise regulations and property-specific curfew timings. These rules can affect music volume and the latest permissible end time for events, particularly evening functions. Planners should confirm the applicable curfew and any sound restrictions with the Khaas Bagh team before finalising an event schedule.
Khaas Bagh is a standalone heritage estate in Ratanada, and parking facilities are expected to be available on or adjacent to the property. The exact capacity and any valet or managed parking arrangements for large event groups should be verified with the property directly. For events with a significant number of guests arriving by private vehicle, it is worth raising this with the events team during the planning stage.
The Poolside is a suitable choice for corporate sundowners, networking dinners, team retreats, and product launches where a heritage backdrop adds distinction to the occasion. The Ratanada location, away from the congestion of Jodhpur's old city, provides practical ease of access for outstation corporate groups. The events team at Khaas Bagh can advise on tailored packages and any business-event-specific facilities available on the estate.
Availability and pricing for The Poolside can be enquired about directly through Khaas Bagh Jodhpur via their official website at khaasbagh.com or by contacting the property's events team by phone or email. Providing the event date, estimated guest count, and event type at the time of enquiry will help the team give an accurate and timely response. Spalba's platform also facilitates direct connection with the venue team for booking conversations.
Unlike a conventional hotel banquet hall, The Poolside situates guests within a restored heritage haveli estate where the architecture, carved stonework, and open-sky setting are integral to the experience rather than a backdrop. The residential scale of Khaas Bagh means events feel like private gatherings on a grand family estate rather than functions in a commercial hospitality space. This sense of place — rooted in Marwari heritage and Jodhpur's distinctive aesthetic — is what sets the venue apart for couples and planners seeking something genuinely distinctive.
