Ahilya Fort

With a rich history that can be traced back to Maharani Ahilyabai Holkar, the woman ruler of the region in the mid-1700s, Ahilya Fort offers an atmospheric and luxurious stay in the charming town of Maheshwar.

Go back in time as you step into one of 19 beautifully decorated spaces located in six 18th-century buildings. Unwind in air conditioned rooms and suites that retain original decor elements such as handcrafted wooden furniture, furnishings with traditional prints and elegant archways and windows. Sip coffee in your private terrace, courtyard or alcove in the morning and tune in to the gentle rhythms of nature. Start your day with an expert-guided yoga session while slowing down to serene river views. Take a stroll around the organic garden and enjoy a farm-to-table breakfast made from the freshest ingredients. You can savour the meal at the sit-out with views of the Narmada River unfolding in front or surrounded by the lush greenery of the garden cottage. Enjoy relaxing trips to nearby villages or drive out to explore the ancient city of Mandu and enjoy a lunch among the ruins. Take a break from sightseeing and treat yourself to a traditional massage. Later, float down the Narmada on a sunset boat ride or experience the river under the romantic glow of moonlight.
