Travelling as a family? The Heritage Family AC Cottage lets four guests stay together in one air-conditioned space, so parents and children can share the desert experience without splitting across tents.
A family stay in the Jaisalmer desert
Mayara Fort has two Heritage Family AC Cottages, each offered on quad sharing for four guests. The cottages bring the sandstone character of the property indoors, with a comfortable, air-conditioned room that works well for a family of four or a small group of friends who prefer to stay together.
Families like the cottage because it keeps everyone close. Children can rest in the afternoon while adults relax nearby, and there is no need to manage two separate tents. Share the ages of any children when you enquire so our team can confirm the most suitable arrangement.

What is included
Your cottage stay includes dinner, breakfast, evening snacks, a rajasthani cultural programme and a dj party, as well as access to the swimming pool. The pool is a favourite with children after a morning on the dunes, and the evening programme in the courtyard is an easy, family-friendly introduction to Rajasthani music and dance.

Family activities at Sam Sand Dunes
Short camel rides at sunset, a jeep safari across the dunes and a night of stargazing are popular with families. Older children often enjoy quad biking or parasailing, where age and safety rules allow. These activities are arranged on request and quoted separately.
Travelling as a couple instead? See the Royal AC Swiss Tent or the Royal Luxury Tent with Jacuzzi.
