We are happy to facilitate interactions between interested guests and students from these schools.   These interactions, aimed at children aged 11 to 16, can take many forms based on guests’ interests.  Given the region’s limited English skills, activities that transcend language barriers are especially effective.  We suggest areas like sports, gymnastics, music, art, or crafts.

“A True Example Of Hospitality, Peace & Relaxation In India”

My sister and I just stayed three nights at the hidden gem that is Savista Retreat. It was such an amazing few days! Particularly how lovely all the staff were, they really touched us with how sincere and kind they are. 🥰 Savista is a drive from Jaipur, and we did a daytrip in one day, chose to visit the block printer in a nearby village another day, and also fed the orphan cows in the village. We really appreciated the peaceful surroundings and of course incredible food!! (Guest, Australia Oct,2023)

“This Eggplant Dish Inspired My Best Vacation Decision Ever”

Heritage inns like Savista exist throughout India; often they’re family estates converted for hospitality. We had chosen Savista for its rustic elegant décor and its emphasis on local food. Some haveli have a bit of Disney-India to them, big on touristy entertainment, where you can play Raja. In contrast, Savista is more an oasis for contemplation, with gardens for wandering, surrounded by farmlands and a bird sanctuary.…There, under the stars and moon, we were fed a meal cooked with an equal measure of enchantment and restraint. Instead of heady curries, there were warmly spiced lentils and vegetables. I remember the baby eggplants, their silky interiors fragrant with turmeric, cumin, coriander and mustard seeds. We swirled hot roti in thick, creamy yogurt. It was the perfect bookend to our sunrise at the Taj Mahal. And it was the most romantic meal I think I’ve ever had. Ever since that trip, I’ve made several attempts to duplicate the magical eggplant dish with little success. So, I finally asked our hosts for the recipe.…When we woke up the next morning at Savista, we were so beguiled by our tranquil setting that we decided to abandon Jaipur and just stay put for the next few days. The city would still be there next year and the year after that. Weren’t we on vacation? Weren’t we there to relax and slow down? I’m a restless traveler who prefers adventure to lounging, but I’ve never regretted this retreat. I’ll get to Jaipur someday.

After retiring, they moved back to Bhanwar’s ancestral home in Rajasthan and, with the help of local masons, slowly created and renovated what is now Savista Retreat…Unlike the clash of colour and noise that famously prevails in India, Savista’s interiors are beautifully minimalist, with just a splash of colour here and there or an old bookcase or golden shisha pipe adding life and character to an otherwise quiet room.…The owners have invested heavily in their staff, who are well cared for, trained and encouraged to be autonomous, and they are known in the local community for their belief in supporting women and girls But the best of Savista Retreat is undeniably outdoors. The roof terrace, with a view of the clear blue pool and the surrounding countryside, makes for the perfect place for sundowners.
