Countryside Rustic Charm Stay with Traditional
I have visited savista in march , we had a great fun while enjoying yoga, bird watching, cooking, pottery and block printing workshops. I like the food and meals as because most of them were grown here at savista only.

Amazing
I had the most wonderful experience at Savista. I can highly recommend. It is the perfect place if you want to have a moment to slow down. It is a high quality and authentic institution.

A Soul-Stirring Reset
My 7-day "Journey of Balance & Breath" at Savista was transformative. The itinerary was a perfect blend of discipline and relaxation, moving beyond just physical yoga into deep cleansing rituals like Jal Neti and oil pulling.
The highlights were the "Detox Day" with its incredible Ayurvedic Abhyanga massage and the magical final dinner accompanied by Indian classical music. I loved the balance of the schedule—from morning tree hugs to the mid-week culture trip to Jaipur. The intimate group size allowed for personalized instruction, and the early 6 PM dinners completely reset my digestion. I left feeling lighter, grounded, and deeply rested. Highly recommended.

A true sanctuary & serenity in the countryside with Yoga & Organic Living
I recently completed the Yoga & Wellness retreat at Savista, and it was exactly the reset I needed. Unlike commercial yoga centers, Savista feels intimate and deeply personal. Doing Hatha yoga on the rooftop at sunrise, surrounded by nothing but the sounds of birds and the open countryside, was a magical experience.
The instruction was excellent—focusing not just on asanas but on breathwork (Pranayama) and meditation in a way that felt accessible yet profound. The highlight for me, however, was the integration of the 'farm-to-fork' lifestyle. Eating organic meals harvested from the gardens right next to where we practiced added a layer of wellness that is hard to find elsewhere. If you are looking for authentic peace, heritage charm, and a holistic approach to wellness near Jaipur, this is the place.

Quiet oasis outside city.
Lovely stay at this small quiet independent run accommodation. Staff are charming and very helpful. You can get into the city in around 40mins and the staff will arrange day trips and tours.
The food is Amazing.
The building is very rustic, don't expect luxury but the basics are taken care of. Good hot showers and comfy beds.
Recommended if you're looking for a different peaceful experience.

Beautiful boutique hotel
An absolutely wonderful visit to this boutique hotel. Gorgeous family home with pool and tennis court in the country outside of Jaipur.
It offers home grown food and quiet with gracious hosts. A respite from crowds of Jaipur and an excellent base for printmaking in Bagru. I look forward to returning.

Savista Retreat Is AMAZING!
I travelled to Savista Retreat in 2018 and when I left; I knew in my heart that I would be back! Savista Retreat is an incredibly beautiful and special place, and this past January (2025) I made my way back and used it as my home base for my 2-week holiday in Rajasthan. As a solo traveler, having a home base is really important to my peace of mind. The food, the atmosphere, being in nature, in addition to being around likeminded people is key for me when travelling. From my daily morning walks around the beautiful property to watching the sunset from the rooftop; my days were bathed in warm sunshine and good vibes. There are stunning places to lay out a yoga mat and I was able to have an instructor come in and give me private lessons which was a decadent treat. I spent a day nearby in Bagru doing a block printing workshop which I can’t recommend enough. Savista Retreat helped arranged top quality/ affordable drivers to take me on day trips into Jaipur as well as a trip to Pushkar to wander the bazaars and lake and an overnight adventure to visit the painted Havelis of Shekhwati. My cooking class at Savista Retreat was a highlight since I absolutely love all of the farm to table deliciousness that is prepared fresh on site. I was so sad to leave, but I’ll definitely be back!

Charming retreat
Fantastic and quiet retreat decorates on old mansion.
We were introduced to local and Indian culture, history and food by the present and knowledgeable host.
Just like we got perfect practical help with transport from the airport in Delhi and day trip to Jaipur.
Just what we needed. Healing and inspiring.

Much more than a hotel - a real home
A wonderful charming and beautiful hideaway near Jaipur with excellent rooms and a personal touch. The family run hotel is wonderfully located, calm, peaceful and a perfect location to enjoy the nature of the area. The owners are lovely. We spent two evenings together with highly interesting conversations about the world, life, philosophy and culture. I can only recommend the hotel to anyone that is looking for something extraordinary, where you feel welcome as if you return to friends or your family.

Discover Jaipur differently
We loved our stay. The hosts and staff are very welcoming and considerate. The food is delicious and the dishes are thought to be gourmet while being balanced. The activities offered by Savista allow you to discover the tourist Jaipur, while going off the beaten track. Feel free to tour the property and surrounding area to observe the many birds that populate the Rajasthan countryside. In short, a rich and relaxing stay that will leave us with beautiful memories of India.

A retreat under the stars
Tired of the noise of the city and the hustle and bustle? You've come to the right place. In the middle of fields and under a clear and starry sky, this magnificent white house is a haven of peace where the rooms are comfortable and tastefully furnished. We eat divinely well and the couple of owners are not only a well to know but they are ready to go out of their way to make your stay an unforgettable experience.

A truly unique experience
As an independent family business, Savista is a unique experience. The home cooked meals were full of dishes unlike anything we had anywhere else in India and often featured homegrown produce, including butter, milk, and yoghurt from their own cow. It is every bit as beautiful and tranquil as the photos suggest. What the photos won't tell you is that your hosts are some of the most warm, gentle, and charming people you will ever have the good fortune to meet.

Relaxation, rejuvenation and inspiration !
I returned to Savista for the third time on my own after a break of 7 years. I have been dying to go back ever since my last trip in 2017 when I also visited alone. My first visit being in 2017 too with my 8 year old and friends.
Whether alone or with family and friends - Savista is a true haven of peace, tranquility and beauty, and a place I can truly relax and recharge. I feel so warmly welcomed and well looked after by Bhanwar and Rhadika, who treat me like a member of extended family, truly a rare thing. I spent 5 days here at the start of my trip in India in April this year, tuning into the amazing sounds of the wildlife, birds and soaking up the sun on the roof and reading books from their library. Rhadika and Bhanwar are truly the heart and soul of the Haveli, whenever we spoke they shared interesting information about the surroundings, climate, flora and fauna of the place. I was cooked for and looked after by their amazing team, simply made seasonal produce grown in the garden of Savista. I love the fact that the food is prepared and based around what is local, seasonal and available, which to me is a sign of the authenticity and freshness of the ingredients. I am not bamboozled by an extensive menu of 100's of dishes...
I combined my time relaxing with a truly inspiring trip to Bagru which was arranged by my hosts. As a textile designer I have a deep interest and passion for textiles and spend a lot of time in design studios and factories, the workshop I joined was an amazing experience and perfectly delivered, with detailed information and I learned a lot in the 4 hours I was there.
I then spent three days in Jaipur city exploring museums, galleries and antique textiles archives. Many of which were thoughtfully recommended by Rhadika, I especially enjoyed the newly opened MOMH Museum of Keenakari Heritage, which highlights the beautiful craft of Indian high jewellery using enamelware and gemstones. They prefer you to book ahead and make an appointment but were very welcoming. I also really enjoyed the Amrapali Museum of jewelry - very extensive and super helpful staff. Ending this trip, which for me was the perfect combination of relaxation and inspiration, I can't wait to return!

Thank you to the team!!
I solo-travelled to India in February, India is amazing, I met so many genuine, kind souls. I happen to fall a bit sick in Delhi, I wanted to find a zen, safe haven and I found it at Savista Retreat. I stayed two nights but could have stayed a lot longer. The property and land is beautiful, very calming and most importantly, quiet! Food is delicious and catered to your dietary needs. Would recommend a stay!

A magical place
We went to stay at Savista for our honeymoon. Originally we had planned to go three years ago, booking the trip and then Covid happened a week later.
Thank goodness we stuck to our plans and finally made it!
The whole place and experience exudes utter magic. The grounds, Haveli, and rooms are gorgeous, and the owners and staff go out of their way to make you feel at home. They are very special, kind people.
INCREDIBLE food!!
Not far from Jaipur
We had two great yoga sessions in the grounds amongst the birds and trees, and lots of other days trips/excursions which were organised for us (including visiting block printing in Bagru, the cow orphanage, Amber Fort)
We would go back to Savista in a heart beat, and we highly recommend it.

Amazing stay in beautiful hotel with lovely exceptional service
Savista is a lovely retreat and an excellent escape from the outside world, don't expect high speed internet but expect to be able to truly relax by the pool, in a hammock, on your balcony or in the grounds if that is what your looking for then this is the place for that 100%
The owner is lovely and the staff are wonderful, pool is fantastic and the tennis court is one of the most picturesque I have ever seen, with a yoga room and a sauna too!
Definitely recommend

Excellent personal service, lots of activities to learn more about India.
Last week was the second time I stayed at this charming boutique hotel just outside Jaipur, India. The location is private and quiet. The food is the most amazing you will have with no worrying about what you are eating. The cooks and the service you receive is top notch. The rooms all have individual decor with lovely traditional furniture. Everything is clean and lovely. If you are interested in any kind of tour, local workshops, local sights, as well as yoga and masssage…they will help to plan everything. I highly recommend staying at Savista.
My father and I had a sweet few days together staying at Savita retreat just outside of Jaipur.
The staff and service were very lovely and attentive. We loved the charm and story of this boutique hotel.
The location was on a somewhat quiet rural area just outside of Jaipur. We took day trips into the city and returned to the hotel.
Just a few things worth to note
~ it’s about 45mins out of the city (we ordered Ubers to and fro costing around 1000 each way).
~ we were the only guests at the time
~ we came in wedding season so there was two events happening at night by the neighbours (out of the hotels control)
~ they gave complimentary breakfast with milk and curd from their cow ambika.
~ they are in a continued process of restoring the hotel. The bathroom is a bit old school but had a rustic charm.
The experience was lovely, maybe the pricing being the one thing that might be a bit inaccurate, it does have a lot of potential however.
We did enjoy our stay.
Thankyou. 🙏🌺✨

Kind words from our Booking.com guests
It is a wonderfully located, calm and peaceful palace about 40 minutes away from Jaipur. The family that is running the Hotel is simply wonderful. They are treating their guests like kings and are fulfilling every single wish. I spent only 2 nights there over a weekend and was happy that I chose the place over a centrally located hotel as the peacefulness there was a great change to the noise in the city.
The seclusion, after a very busy week in Jaipur, this was perfect. The location is beautiful and so quiet, and the food was amazing, all organic and gown right there at the retreat. There is nothing I didn’t like
This was an exceptional property with beautiful staff and amazing food. We have stayed in many Rajesthan accommodations and this would rate at the top of our list for overall attention to detail and hospitality. This property is like finding the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. We arrived in the dark and instantly fell in love. Everything we required for a comfortable stay was provided.
We didn’t like having to leave. 2 nights wasn’t long enough. It can be tricky to locate, we didn’t have too much trouble because we have an excellent driver.
Savista is a piece of paradise in a rural village surrounded by the Aravelli Hills. The rooms are large and comfortable, the food delicious and the hospitality warm and generous. Such a special place
We had a brilliant stay at Savista, a quiet, serene, idyllic and eco-friendly place in the countryside. The hosts are a lovely, charming and knowledgeable married couple who are doing great work with and for the local community in this poor part of Rajastan. Learning about their work made the stay at Savista even more enjoyable and interesting. The food was delicious too. Savista was a much welcomed contrast to the business, noise and chaos of Jaipur. A bit tricky to get there, but well worth it when we did.
