Taj Devi Ratn Resort & Spa, Jaipur

Every suite faces the Aravali mountains, and the palette running through this modern luxury resort pulls from gemstones and the geometric forms of Jaipur's ancient Jantar Mantar observatory. Architects drew the whole concept from the Nav Ratn, nine cosmologically significant gems, so the design has a mythology behind it rather than just a mood board. The villas add private plunge pools. A Michelin Key recognizes it, and the Pink City is twenty minutes away.
