A Legacy Welcomed Into Raht

2025 marked the beginning of Raht Hotels and Resorts, and with it, the onboarding of Raht Manmatha into our growing portfolio. Envisioned and curated by Aakanksha and Priyank Tomar, Manmatha began as a personal refuge in the outskirts of Udaipur, Manmatha was never meant to be a regular estate. It was imagined as a place for pause. For stillness. For returning to a rhythm that modern life has almost forgotten.

Aakanksha and Priyank have thoughtfully shaped every nook and corner of Manmatha with an eco-conscious approach, working in harmony with the land, its natural contours, and the surrounding landscape. Every choice reflects a quiet respect for nature, balance, and intention.

Aakanksha & Priyank’s Manmatha, Preserved and Elevated

 

Raht Manmatha, the fortress-inspired estate, sits at the meeting point of two visions that were always speaking the same language that luxury does not need to announce itself. It can be private. It can be slow. It can be deeply personal.

Raht’s philosophy has always been rooted in relief. A retreat from the noise of cities without giving up comfort, luxury, or care. Boutique by design, intimate by choice. Fewer rooms mean more attention. Fewer distractions mean more presence, and Manmatha already lived by the same values, long before it carried the Raht name.

The architecture at Raht Manmatha is designed very mindfully, every nook and corner has a story and intention. Much like the floors, they are deliberately uneven, encouraging guests to watch their steps, to look up, to move with awareness. IAt the heart of it all is the name Manmatha, drawn from the Hindu god of love, passion, and desire. Here, those ideas are interpreted inwardly. Love becomes intention. Desire becomes awareness. Passion becomes stillness. The rooms, inspired by the arrows associated with the deity, unfold gently, each space guiding the guest in a different direction, not outward, but inward.

Together, Raht and Manmatha have not created something new. They have revealed what was already there. A place where architecture, philosophy, and intention align to create a retreat that feels both grounded and rare. Something quiet. Something personal. Something extraordinary.
