There are also 12 new cottage villas constructed entirely out of local materials and scattered over 32 acres around the lake. But no matter where you decide to settle down with a book, your elbow won’t be too far from a port decanter.

A RETREAT AMIDST A GREEN OASIS

Located only about 40 minutes from Ajmer Station, within the heart of Pushkar’s breathtaking views lies this massive property – Pushkar Resorts, where I began my my curated travel through Plush Escapes. The resort houses spacious rooms spread across the enormous greenery that it hosts and features a variety of amenities like expansive pools, a multi-cuisine restaurant, a games room and a dedicated spa with jacuzzi and sauna. I had my share of a two-day relaxing stay here, just before I headed to the Bedouin camel village for a photography project, and it was great to simply have discovered this spot right in the heartland of Pushkar.
The resort is surprisingly silent, and is surrounded by fantastic spectacles of the hills on all sides. There is a little farm of Sewara Organics right within the property and the restaurant follows a farm-to-plate philosophy, so you get some of the best organic produce when you order literally anything from the menu. I totally recommend the bass fish fillet with lemon coriander dressing, and their meatball spaghetti is also to die for. The rooms are spacious and the area features loads of open spaces for long walks. Read more
