Pratap Mahal, Ajmer

A Taj-group luxury resort built to look like it's been in the Aravalli hills forever, though the state-of-the-art comforts give away the new construction. Standard rooms come with full sit-out balconies and feel palatial in size and finish; suites tip toward the opulent. The spa draws on yogic principles, and the on-site restaurant swings between light healthy fare and hearty home-style Rajasthani cooking, so you can calibrate your virtue accordingly.
