Zari has officially entered India’s luxury hospitality sector with the launch of Bijapur Lodge, Jawai, the first property under its newly introduced boutique hospitality brand. Furthermore, the company plans to expand its portfolio with additional experience-led luxury properties across India in the coming months.
Located in Rajasthan’s renowned Leopard Country, Bijapur Lodge is a six-suite luxury retreat spread across five acres. Moreover, the property offers an intimate stay experience by seamlessly blending the region’s natural landscapes, wildlife, and cultural heritage with personalised hospitality and sustainable tourism.
Designed around space, privacy, and authentic experiences, the retreat reflects Zari’s philosophy of creating destination-led luxury stays. Additionally, its architecture and interiors draw inspiration from Jawai’s rugged landscape while emphasising sustainability and local craftsmanship.
One of the property’s signature attractions is its private leopard safari, where experienced naturalists guide guests through Jawai’s unique ecosystem, highlighting the long-standing coexistence between leopards and the indigenous Rabari community.
Moreover, guests can enjoy several curated experiences, including:
- Sunset sundowners overlooking Jawai’s granite hills
- Guided Rabari village walks
- Birdwatching excursions
- Boat rides
- Sunrise yoga amidst nature
These experiences aim to foster deeper connections with the destination, its wildlife, and its local communities.
In addition, Zari introduces its Curated Heritage Table, featuring consultant-designed menus prepared using hyper-local ingredients, seasonal produce, and traditional recipes.
Guests can savour authentic regional dishes such as Dal Baati Churma, Laal Maas, Ker Sangri, and wood-fired specialities, celebrating Rajasthan’s rich culinary traditions.
Commenting on the launch, the management of Zari said the company built the brand on the belief that true luxury comes from meaningful experiences, personalised hospitality, and a strong sense of place.
The company added that Bijapur Lodge embodies this philosophy by connecting guests with Jawai’s wildlife, culture, and traditions. Furthermore, Zari plans to introduce several boutique luxury properties across India, with each destination designed to reflect its unique local identity while delivering premium hospitality experiences.
With the launch of Bijapur Lodge, Jawai, Zari has entered India’s growing luxury hospitality market through an experience-driven approach. Furthermore, as the company expands its portfolio across the country, it aims to offer travellers immersive stays that seamlessly combine local culture, sustainable tourism, personalised service, and authentic destination experiences.
