Pushkar's first international resort sits in the Aravalli hills outside the holy town, with lawns and a ballroom big enough for full-scale weddings. It gives families Pushkar's setting with the logistics of a large hotel.

About the resort
Pushkar, without the crowds.
The Westin Pushkar Resort & Spa opened in 2017 as the first internationally branded resort in Pushkar. It is set on about eleven acres in the Aravalli hills, a short drive from the lake and the old town.
Rooms are mostly villas spread across the grounds. Function space includes a ballroom, meeting rooms and lawns, which makes it one of the few Pushkar venues that can host a large wedding entirely on site.
Light here is open and bright, with the brown hills all around. Evenings in winter are cool and dry, so skin prep matters.
