Natural stone underfoot. Gardens on all sides. Fruit trees and unbroken quiet.

A stunning oasis in the desert. Modern, white marble interiors and the biggest pool I've seen! Lovely garden and healthy, nourishing, high quality Ayurvedic food. Very clean and the staff were so friendly and helpful. 8 mins by autorickshaw to Pushkar market.
The minimalist architecture blends seamlessly with the farm and the lush nature surrounding it. Our room was elegantly simple, with large windows with beautiful views of the gardens outside. The stunning pool was the highlight. It is huge and beautifully made with local stone and a pleasure to swim in.
We spent the amazing winter days (9am - 4pm) in the beautiful gardens and pool basking in the wonderful sun. Birds chirping, animals playing, village women cooking on wood fires - just heaven! Great place to recover during the middle to last part of your India trip. The food is delicious and cooked right in front of you.
It was truly fantastic! The peace, the relaxation, enjoying the swimming pool… it was exactly what I needed after traveling through the chaos of India for a while. Having breakfast in complete peace, surrounded by nature. It was really amazing! You simply won’t find a stay like this anywhere else in India.
Having been to India over 20 times, I would rank this place amongst the very best. It is so green, with huge trees and a lush farm all around. I love to swim and this is perhaps the best pool I’ve used in India. The food is fresh and delicious.
Eighty feet allows for proper laps, morning routines, and unhurried afternoons. Long, deep, and lined in natural stone.
The setting
In the middle of the garden.
Bougainvillea climbs towards the open sky. Fruit trees give shade through the day. Horses pass in the early morning. The pool sits inside a living farm, and that place makes itself known at every hour: in water, light, shade, and stillness.
The day
One pool. Three times of day.
Morning, afternoon, evening — the farm keeps changing around it, and so does the swim.
Morning
The pool is still. The farm is waking up.
A long swim before breakfast is one of the best ways to start a day here. This is when the regular swimmers use the pool. The light is low, coming through the fruit trees and across the water.
Afternoon
Swim, sunbathe, repeat. Read. Let time pass.
The pool makes idleness feel deserved. In the warmer months, you will spend your afternoons in the water. In peak winter — December and January — the water is too cold for most people to swim, but the stone decks are warm in the sun.

The design
Water. Stone. Green. Sky.
Built from natural stone with seamless coping and flush waterlines. Its beauty comes from scale and proportion: everything it needs, nothing it doesn't. Because only a few guests share the farm, the pool keeps something most hotel pools have lost: the feeling that it is yours.
Never finished
Built once. Rebuilt twice.
Forty-six years of getting closer to right: it started as a pond, dug to water the young trees while the farm itself was still being planted. It became a swimming pool later, then was rebuilt again for guests who wanted real laps, not simply a place to cool off.
Almost everything great here can be traced back to a guest. In 2018, an 80-year-old British guest who swam a kilometre every day finally convinced me that she should only have to count 20 laps. You can thank her for the pool.
