The best resorts in Pushkar
Ananta Spa & Resort, Pushkar
One of Pushkar's best-known luxury resorts, set against the Aravalli hills with a large pool, full-service spa and spacious rooms. A polished, comfortable base that suits couples and families alike.
The Westin Pushkar Resort & Spa
A reliable international-brand choice with contemporary rooms, a heavenly-bed comfort standard, a Heavenly Spa, swimming pool and multiple restaurants. Great for travellers who want consistent, full-service luxury.
Brahma Horizon, Pushkar
A modern resort with sweeping views toward the hills and lake, a stylish pool and rooftop dining. A good blend of design, comfort and value, well placed for both relaxing and sightseeing.
Dera Masuda, Pushkar
A boutique heritage-style resort wrapped around courtyards and a pool, known for warm Rajasthani hospitality and a peaceful setting. A characterful mid-to-upper-range pick away from the crowds.
Pushkar Resorts (Motisar Road)
A long-standing cottage-style resort spread over green grounds with private villas, a pool and a golf course nearby. Roomy and quiet, it is a favourite for unwinding between temple visits.
Gateway Ramgarh Lodge / heritage stays
Heritage-leaning properties around Pushkar offer Rajput-style architecture, antique-filled rooms and old-world service — ideal if you want atmosphere and character over modern minimalism.
Pushkar Bagh, by Saaj Resorts
A landscaped resort with traditional decor, a large pool and gardens, popular for weddings and relaxed stays. Comfortable rooms and generous grounds make it easy to slow down.
Luxury desert camps & tented resorts
For the quintessential Pushkar experience, several deluxe tented camps on the town's desert fringe offer plush canvas suites, bonfires, folk music and camel safaris — magical during the Camel Fair, though prices soar then.
Anantara / boutique pool resorts
A growing crop of stylish boutique resorts pair a clean, contemporary look with infinity-style pools and rooftop cafes, appealing to design-minded couples and photographers.
Budget-friendly resort stays
Plenty of comfortable mid-range resorts ring the town with pools, gardens and home-style Rajasthani food at gentler rates — a smart pick outside the November fair when prices are reasonable.
How to choose where to stay in Pushkar
For full-service luxury and spas, the Westin and Ananta Spa & Resort lead the way, with big pools, gyms and multiple restaurants. For character and heritage, look to boutique and Rajput-style properties like Dera Masuda. For a desert experience, choose a tented camp on the town's edge for safaris and bonfires under the stars.
Bear in mind that the grander resorts often sit 2–5 km from the lake and bazaar, so factor in a short ride into the centre. If you want to walk to the ghats, smaller lakeside guesthouses are more convenient, while resorts trade that for space, pools and quiet.
When to book
Rates and availability swing hugely with the season. The October–March peak is busy and well-priced for comfort, while the November Camel Fair sends prices to their highest and fills the best resorts and desert camps months in advance — book very early if you are coming then.
Travelling in the summer (April–June) or monsoon (July–September) brings the lowest rates and easy availability, with the trade-off of heat or humidity. See the best time to visit Pushkar guide to match your stay to the weather you want.
