We have visited Rajasthan on many occasions and for some reason never explored the shekwati region. We stayed in the Vivaana for two nights and wished it had been... read more longer. This property is a sensitively and tastefully renovated and converted double Haveli. An absolute delight brought to life by the wonderful Mr Simmons the experience manager at the Vivaana.
Our room was a beautiful painted interior with a modern bathroom and fabulous shower, (hot, good pressure). Spotlessly clean and very comfortable too. The pool is lovely and food is excellent, the village walk with Mr Simmons, not to be missed! Highly recommended!!

  The success of a place of hospitality is, that it stays with you. Such is the charm of this place with service topping even 5-7 star places. Very efficient staff... read more with special mention to Mr Simmons and Srikant..it is worth a visit. Rewires and relaxes you..

  I have visited and stayed at Vivaana Culture Hotel four times now and I always look forward to those visits. From the moment to walk in through the impressive entrance... read more doors the ambience of the 'lobby' (this really is an entrance like no other), simply engulfs you and murmurs, 'Welcome, Guest, relax and enjoy'. Vivaana can be something of a sensory overload but that ambience and the charm of the myriad delights you will discover within combine to infuse an overall sense of relaxation. Every room is different and having found a favourite the friendly and welcoming staff can be relied upon to accommodate such preferences.
Being as it is an oasis of pleasure in the middle of nowhere, it is frequently used by passing coach tours but for smaller groups and individual travellers, less hurried by their schedules, if offers a perfect place to relax, enjoy and re-energise.
If I was pressed to be critical, the only thing I would identify is the evening puppet shows to captive audiences after dinner on the lawn. If you've seen one, you've seen them all and repeats are not something I find any enjoyment in.
