Most Romantic Cities and Luxury Hotels in Rajasthan

Most Romantic Cities and Luxury Hotels in Rajasthan

Whether you’re planning a romantic getaway or your dream honeymoon, Rajasthan is one of our top travel destinations for those looking for a unique luxury holiday that combines relaxation and adventure.

From majestic forts and magical palaces to beautiful lakes and golden sand dunes, every city has its own defining character steeped in history and tradition. If you can, we’d recommend visiting over Diwali (October / November) or Holi Festival (March) when Rajasthan comes alive in a kaleidoscope of colour, music and dancing, even more so than usual!

Udaipur - the City of Lakes

Udaipur, The City of Lakes, is arguably the most romantic and relaxing city in India. Often termed ‘Venice of the East’, this beautiful city is dotted with spectacular lakes and palaces, making it the perfect spot to spend a little time relaxing and meandering through the city’s pebbled streets and beautiful walkways. The city overlooks Lake Pichola, home to the world-famous Lake Palace which appears to float on water. For the ultimate romantic evening, enjoy a boat ride on the lake before a private dinner on a pontoon watching the sunset over the surrounding Aravali Hills.

Jaipur - the Pink City

Jaipur, or The Pink City due to its rose pink buildings, is the capital and gateway to Rajasthan, and for good reason. Home to the stunning Hawa Mahal Palace, this vibrant city offers everything from magnificent desert views and grand havelis to luxury hotels, fabulous restaurants and shopping in some of the country’s most colourful bazaars.

Our favourite hotels:

Rambagh Palace

RAAS Rajmahal Palace

Pushkar

Home to the only Brahma Temple in India, Pushkar is a beautiful, laid-back city situated around a sacred lake that is one of the five holiest pilgrimages for Hindus. Around the lake, you’ll find 52 bathing ghats for Hindus to bathe in the sacred waters and every evening, an hour before sunset, everybody gathers around the lake to watch the incredible sunset with music and chanting. As well as being a great place for restaurants and shopping, Pushkar is world famous for its spectacular Camel Fair which takes place in the Hindu month of Kartika (October/November).

We recommend staying in The Orchard Pushkar.

Jodhpur - the Blue City

Also known as the ‘Blue City’ for the cooling indigo-painted walls of the old town, Jodhpur is the second-largest city in Rajasthan and is home to beautiful palaces, majestic forts, scenic gardens and fascinating museums. The famous Mehrangarh Fort is definitely worth a visit, not only for its historical significance but also for the spectacular panoramic views over the city, Takhat Sagar Lake and surrounding Thar Desert.

We love:

Umaid Bhawan Palace

RAAS Jodhpur

Balsamand Lake Palace

Jaisalmer - the Golden City

The impressive fortified city of Jaisalmer, also known as the Golden City, is the ideal location for couples looking for adventure. Book a camel safari and spend a night in a cosy desert camp dancing with folk dancers and sleeping under the starts, before waking up to a mesmerising sunset over the Desert Nation Park.

Our favourite places to stay:

Sujan The Serai

Killa Bhawan

Client Testimonials

I thought the Ampersand team was outstanding. We couldn’t have hoped for anything more.
- Mr Geoffrey Johnson, India
So many highlights to choose from! The hotels were amazing but Maya Villa was a highlight… I loved just hanging out in the hammock reading my book and watching the peacocks chase the cows!
- Krista Weir, Sri Lanka
We really enjoyed the trip and were happy that we squeezed so much into a few short days. The Burmese people were lovely and the sites were fantastic. We really enjoyed the balloon ride and would highly suggest it to others in the future. The trip went super smoothly and a good time plus learning happened for all. Yangon was nice as the Strand was quite amazing and we of course loved the giant gold temple. Many thanks for all of your help and look forward to future travel with you.
- Wallace Family, Burma
I had a very lovely time and was looked after splendidly. My first visit to India could not have been better, save for being longer! But I shall return at some point and I shall look to you to make the arrangements.
- Matthew Nicklin, North India
Ampersand’s preparation, attention to detail and interaction before and during our trip show exactly why good travel agents have a role in today’s internet booking age. They were a delight to deal with!
- Mr David Wallace, North India
Ampersand provided a bespoke and flexible holiday, tailored to my every whim. Their highly professional staff had only one goal which was to arrange an exceptional holiday and some unforgettable experiences in India. I have no hesitation in fully recommending them and they will be the first company I approach in the future - 10/10
- Anonymous, India
I barely know where to begin... though a sincere 'thank you' would be the best. You have organised this trip perfectly. May was an inspiring and delightful companion in Myanmar – thoroughly professional and friendly at the same time. My accommodation throughout has been superb, especially The Governor's Residence and The Mandarin Oriental. The view from the cottage at Inle Lake was beautiful and I loved every moment of being there. And here I am now on the last leg of this extended holiday at my favourite place. I could stay here for ever, the peace, silence and surroundings all amazing, plus the people and the whole aura of Vana. Thank you for much, and I look forward to speaking to you on my return.
- Ms Margulies, Burma, India & Thailand
Ballyfin was great - we loved it! Best things were the amount of space, it felt like you had the whole place to yourself, the history of the house, and the staff. We'd definitely recommend it. Thanks very much for all the help getting it booked!
- Mr Wyburd, Ireland
Difficult to articulate just how good the service from you and your team really was. We know you will continue to do well and hope we have the chance to seek your assistance again before long.
- Mr & Mrs Manson, North India
Everything you did for us whilst we were away was hugely appreciated, and Ampersand has been exemplary in every way. I'll always recommend you!
- Mr Richard Stoughton, Sri Lanka
We have just returned back from a wonderful trip. Thank you very much for organising everything. The transfer was excellent – for once they had perfect car seats. The villa was lovely, just what we needed and the hotel had helpfully put us as far away as possible from everyone else. The breakfast buffet was the best I have ever seen – and I am slightly obsessive over breakfast!! There was an incredible choice, something for everyone and so beautifully presented. A real highlight of the trip. Thank you again for sorting everything - and at such short notice!
- Redmayne family, Phuket
Without question, you put together the best trip I have ever taken. We were shown around like visiting dignitaries, the hotels were fantastic and the itinerary was just right. Everybody I know will hear about how amazing Ampersand is!
- Leslie Siben, India
We had a wonderful holiday - everything was perfect. Thank you for helping us to make a thoughtful plan to enjoy and make most out of our trip. The places we visited, the guides, the transportation and driver, the hotels selected... Everything was great!
- Jaime Benitez, South India
Getting to Amanpulo from Manila was very simple and the beach was the most beautiful I’d ever been on; pristine white sand, not a single piece of rubbish in sight. You get your own solar powered golf buggy to drive around resort (and a butler at request). The views from the Hillside Casita were spectacular!
- Mr Wyburd, Philippines
Difficult to choose the highlight of the trip, can’t choose between… 1) Taj Mahal & Oberoi Amarvilas. 2) Ranthambore. 3) Lake Palace. We have to say a particular thank you for selecting Parmod as our driver. He is a delightful and kind man who took our holiday and our enjoyment as his responsibility. Thank you for putting together such an amazing trip for us. The balance of city and rural destinations was perfect for us and the variety of rooms and hotel types brilliant. Our driver and guides also added so much to the trip with their knowledge of India’s history and culture and their willingness to discuss it both from a professional and personal angle.
- Carruthers family, North India
I would recommend Ampersand without any hesitation!!! The best travel agent that I’ve ever had. Everything – from the individual care and attention in planning the trip, through to the efficiency of the agents on the ground in India – was handled brilliantly. An absolutely first-class service all round!
- Matthew Annable, Rajasthan, India
