Samantha Ruth Prabhu Explores The Jungles Of Ranthambore, Shares Pictures From Her Diwali Getaway At This Luxury Hotel In Rajasthan

This Diwali, Samantha Ruth Prabhu swapped the city lights for the untamed beauty of Ranthambore’s jungles, choosing to immerse herself in Rajasthan’s celebrated wilderness. The actress, known for her love of travel, took to Instagram to share glimpses of her stay at one of the area’s most luxurious properties, which is certainly a must-visit, if you wish to combine a visit to the rugged trails of Ranthambore National Park with all the opulence that the state is rightly famous for.

The actress stayed at the Six Senses Fort Barwara, a 14th-century fort which has been meticulously restored and transformed into a stunning sanctuary by the Six Senses group. The hotel was put on the map when it became the venue for Katrina Kaif and Vicky Kaushal’s wedding. Originally built by the Chauhans in Rajasthan’s Barwara village, this fort has stood for over 700 years. Six Senses took on the ambitious task of restoring this historical marvel, guided by the local community’s expertise and conservationists to preserve the heritage. By blending contemporary luxury with Rajasthani architecture, Six Senses has crafted a breathtaking space that tells the story of its past while offering the pinnacle of comfort. The fort now stands as a tribute to India’s heritage, featuring elegant rooms, lush gardens, private sanctuaries, and scenic views across Rajasthan’s rugged landscape.

“Being in a place that lifts you up mentally, enriches you personally, and surrounds you with love and respect can feel like a celebration every day. On this Deepavali, I want to express gratitude for all that I have and wish everyone a year filled with brightness, love, and joy,” wrote Prabhu on her Instagram, as she shared pictures of her stay at the retreat, coupled with pictures from her safari at Ranthambore, famous for its tiger sanctuary and historical fort, which is one of Rajasthan's most famous national parks.
