Private pool accommodation in the desert, and why it is rare
Water is the scarcest thing in the Thar. That is exactly why a pool of your own, set within a tent in the middle of the desert, feels so extraordinary. Around Sam Sand Dunes, most camps offer no pool at all; a few offer a shared one. Very few offer a private pool desert camp experience in Jaisalmer.
At Mayara Fort Desert Camp & Resort, one room category does: the Royal Swiss Tent With Private Pool. It combines a spacious Royal Swiss tent with a plunge pool reserved for its own guests. You can still use the resort’s shared swimming pool, but you do not have to.
This page is a closer look at that single room: what it offers, who it suits, how it compares with the other Mayara Fort categories, and how to plan the rest of a stay around it.
Royal Swiss Tent With Private Pool
This is a luxury Swiss tent with private pool in the full sense: a large canvas room on a solid base, finished with carved wooden furniture, draped canopy and soft furnishings, with an attached bathroom and its own plunge pool for the tent’s guests.
Around it sits the rest of Mayara Fort: sandstone pavilions, palm-lined courtyards, a dining hall with arched windows and the shared resort pool. The tent gives you privacy; the resort gives you everything else.

A private pool stay at Sam Sand Dunes
Imagine stepping out of the afternoon heat straight into cool water, with nobody else around. Morning coffee beside the pool before the day warms up. A swim at dusk as the sky turns orange, before walking to the courtyard for dinner.
That is the appeal of this tent. We do not publish pool dimensions, heating or other technical details; if any of those matter to you, ask and we will confirm with the resort for your dates.
