Family Getaways Near Jaipur

Booking a whole villa changes how a family holiday feels. Nobody is split across floors of a hotel, meals happen when your family is hungry rather than when a buffet opens, and children can be loud in a garden that belongs to you for the weekend.

Kankas House — four bedrooms, sleeps ten

Set in forested hills at Bagwara, off Delhi Road, Kankas House has four air-conditioned bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms and attached balconies — two on the ground floor, two upstairs, which tends to matter when grandparents are travelling.

• Private swimming pool and sprawling lawns
• Barbecue and bonfire setup for the evenings
• Board games and indoor games for slower afternoons
• A chef on call cooking on site, and daily housekeeping
• Airport transfers and a chauffeur on call

A weekend from Delhi

Jaipur is close enough to Delhi for a Friday-evening start and far enough to feel like somewhere else. Kankas House sits outside the city, so you trade proximity to the forts for quiet, hills and clean air. Families who want to be closer to Amer and the old city usually build in one day of sightseeing and spend the rest at the villa.

Travelling as a couple instead?

Choti Haveli is a restored one-bedroom heritage haveli in a gated community on Ajmer Road, with a private garden and an indoor fish pond. It sleeps two.
