Alila Fort
Bisangarh,
Jaipur to open
in 2017 |
| |
|
| |
Alila comes to
Jaipur in
Rajasthan with a
heritage resort
that beautifully
preserves the
Jaipur Gharana
architecture,
influenced by
both the Mughals
and the British.
Following
restoration of a
beautiful
230-year-old
fort, his
all-suite hotel
will feature 59
suites, all
promising
fantastic views
-and Spa Alila,
restaurants,
bars and
lounges, wine
cellar and
library, as well
as swimming
pool.
Alila Fort
Bishangarh is a
heritage
fortress
lovingly
restored &
transformed into
a luxury resort.
The original
fort is left
intact, with
much care given
to ecological
restoration and
the
reconstruction
of new
residential
areas, to
recreate the
courtly flavour
of Shahpura’s
royalty. The
grandeur is felt
in its stark and
inherent
simplicity that
has withstood
the test of time
through its
fortification.
Perhaps the only
warrior fort
that has been
converted into a
heritage resort,
Alila Fort
Bishangarh is a
unique example
of the Jaipur
Gharana
architecture
influenced by
both the Mughals
and the British.
The two-metre
thick ancient
walls around the
fort have
openings for
firearms and
turrets (known
as burjs) as
battlements. A
completely new
structure is
created above
and outside the
old fort to
house five
different styles
of royal suites
and the lavish
public areas. |

Shangri-La's
Hambantota
Resort and Spa
Opens in Sri
Lanka |
| |
|
| |
The 300-room
beachfront
Shangri-La's
Hambantota
Resort & Spa
opened yesterday
on a 145-acre
former coconut
plantation on
the southern
coastline of Sri
Lanka. The
President of Sri
Lanka, His
Excellency
Maithripala
Sirisena,
officiated at
the launch,
joined by guests
from Colombo and
the local
community to
mark the arrival
of a new
standard of
luxury in the
'Pearl of the
Indian Ocean'.
Nestled beside
the Indian Ocean
and framed by
swaying king
coconut trees,
the resort
doubles as a
quiet retreat or
spirited
getaway, with
some of the
world's most
captivating
wildlife and
exotic birds in
nearby national
parks. The
island nation
boasts a
colourful
heritage, and
its southern
coast caters to
leisurely
exploration with
historic
temples, quaint
fishing villages
and secluded
beaches.
Showcasing the
essence of the
tropical setting
is the resort's
open-air lobby
-- made of
natural
materials and
dotted with
local
handicrafts.
Upon arrival,
guests are met
by turquoise sea
views, the sound
of breaking
waves and Indian
Ocean breezes
before they are
whisked away by
electric tuk-tuk
to their private
guestroom.
Beginning at 48
square metres,
the guestrooms
feature louvered
shutters and
polished wooden
floors that lead
to balconies
suited for
admiring the
resort's lush
garden -- where
peacocks can be
spotted roaming
the grounds --
or ocean vista.
Handwoven rugs
and ocean blue-coloured
panels
complement the
modern luxury
style, and
spacious
bathrooms are
accessorised
with stone-clad
bathtubs and
rain showers.
Spa enthusiasts
can indulge at
CHI, The Spa,
where Ayurvedic
treatments are
delivered using
100 per cent
organic herbs
and natural
products after a
personal
consultation
with the guest.
In all, twelve
indoor and
outdoor
treatment rooms
are a haven for
stress relieving
massages,
facials and body
treatments, and
a treat for the
senses.
The sun-drenched
setting of
Shangri-La's
Hambantota
Resort & Spa
encourages
guests to bask
by one of three
salt-water
swimming pools,
including the
Sunset pool and
a freeform pool,
that blend with
the resort's
scenic landscape
of flora and
leafy surrounds.
Golfers can
expect to be
challenged on
the par-70
course at
Shangri-La's
Golf and Country
Club when it
opens in mid
June. The resort
is the first in
Sri Lanka to
have its own
golf course.
Designed by
Rodney Wright,
it encompasses a
revitalized
former sapphire
mine. Players
encounter three
zones that
present infinity
ocean views,
wide fairways
and testing
water and bunker
features. Lush
vegetation and
birdlife can be
seen along the
5,584-metre long
course of
salt-tolerant
grass.
Eco-friendly
attributes
include the use
of degradable
organic balls
(filled with
fish feed) at
the driving rage
and an
irrigation
system that
harvests and
recycles rain
water for the
course.
A selection of
four restaurants
and bars allow
guests to
experience a
culinary
adventure
without
venturing off
property. |
