Dev Shree, Deogarh – Live Like Royalty with the Royals Themselves
In the heart of Rajasthan lies a boutique palace stay unlike any other — not because it’s grand, but because it’s genuine.
Dev Shree, Deogarh isn’t a hotel made to look regal — it is the private residence of Raja Aditya Singh and Rani Jyotika Singh, members of the Deogarh royal family, who now open their home to travelers seeking heritage, peace, and personality.
🏛️ From Private Palace to Personalised Hospitality
Built in recent years in traditional Rajputana haveli style, Dev Shree is set on the banks of Ragho Sagar Lake with sweeping views of ancient temples, village landscapes, and Rajasthan’s rolling hills. The home was originally meant as a quiet escape — but the royal couple transformed it into an intimate stay for travelers curious about real royal life, beyond museum walls.
What makes it magical?
- The royals live here, and host you like old friends.
- Every corner reflects personal taste, family history, and timeless charm.
🛏️ Boutique Royal Suites With Soul
Unlike large hotels, Dev Shree has just seven individually-designed suites, each telling its own story.
Expect:
- Traditional Rajasthani décor with marble flooring, jharokhas, and antique-style furniture
- Lake or garden views from your room’s verandah
- Luxurious beds, handcrafted cushions, and bathrooms with modern fittings but old-world elegance
The living spaces — be it the central courtyard, the library nook, or the lakeside pavilion — are quiet, open, and filled with natural light. It’s less hotel, more home — with the benefit of royalty-level comfort.
👑 Hosted by a Royal Family That Lives Its Story
The biggest highlight? Your hosts.
Raja Aditya Singh, the current descendant of the ruling family of Deogarh, is not just a figurehead. He’ll walk with you through the gardens, share anecdotes of royal life, and even take you on village jeep safaris himself. His wife, Rani Jyotika, crafts the daily menus and adds a warm, personal touch to every part of the stay — from floral arrangements to conversations over tea.
This is a stay with soul.
🌿 Rural Life, Royal Style – What to Experience
At Dev Shree, every activity is rooted in locality and legacy.
🚙 Jeep Safaris with Royal Insight
Aditya Singh himself takes guests on offbeat safaris through nearby villages, farms, and tribal areas. You’ll spot wild peacocks, blue bulls, local artisans, and centuries-old shrines — all explained by someone whose family has lived here for generations.
🌄 Sunset Walks by the Lake
The property overlooks Ragho Sagar, a serene lake teeming with birds, with the backdrop of Deogarh Mahal in the distance. Evening walks here feel like stepping into a period drama — often with the family dogs walking beside you.
🥘 Home Dining, Rani-Style
Meals are prepared in-house, using local ingredients and age-old recipes:
- Traditional Rajasthani thalis
- Light continental fare for breakfast
- Candlelit dinners by the lawn or indoor dining room
Every dish is personally curated by Rani Jyotika, and the flavors are a true representation of royal kitchen traditions — without excess, but full of integrity.
📸 Aesthetics for the Soul (and Your Instagram)
Dev Shree is visually stunning — not for its opulence, but for its tasteful elegance.
- Earth-toned architecture with pops of local art
- Bright traditional textiles mixed with white marble
- Perfect morning light through arched jharokhas
- Bookshelves, ceramics, and cozy cushions that feel curated, not staged
