Combining the warmth of a homestay with the charm of traditional architecture, Sukh Sagar Haveli offers visitors a peaceful and distinctive place to stay in Jodhpur. Surrounded by lush greenery and adorned with an extensive collection of art and artefacts, the homestay provides an opportunity to experience the city’s cultural character in a relaxed and intimate setting.
Located in a residential neighbourhood on the outskirts of Jodhpur, Sukh Sagar Haveli offers a welcome escape from the city’s busy streets. Visitors enter through an imposing red sandstone gateway decorated with traditional carvings, beyond which lie expansive lawns, tall trees, landscaped gardens and a beautifully designed traditional haveli.
The peaceful surroundings, spacious rooms and thoughtfully arranged interiors make the property an appealing choice for travellers seeking comfort, privacy and a homely atmosphere during their stay in the Blue City.
A Homestay Enriched by Art and Culture
One of the most distinctive aspects of Sukh Sagar Haveli is its remarkable collection of art and artefacts. Owner Cathy Blundell, a designer originally from Montreal, Canada, has spent nearly three decades collecting objects from across India. Her passion for design and Indian art is reflected throughout the property.
The rooms and common areas feature sculptures, pottery, traditional clothing, puppets, Bollywood film posters and a variety of decorative objects. Each piece contributes to the character of the homestay, creating spaces that are visually rich and deeply personal.
Rather than following a uniform design, each room has its own colour scheme, furnishings and artistic details. This individuality gives the accommodation a distinctive character while preserving the welcoming atmosphere expected of a homestay.
Green Surroundings and Comfortable Living
The extensive greenery is another defining feature of Sukh Sagar Haveli. Tall trees, well-maintained lawns and landscaped gardens create a refreshing environment where guests can relax away from the city’s congestion and noise.
The spacious rooms are designed to provide a comfortable stay, with artistic touches and carefully selected decorative elements adding to their appeal. A large swimming pool offers guests an opportunity to unwind, while the gardens provide space for leisurely walks and quiet moments amid nature.
The combination of greenery, traditional architecture and carefully curated interiors makes the homestay particularly attractive to visitors who appreciate peaceful surroundings and a more personal accommodation experience.
Fresh Food and a Personal Touch
Food and hospitality form an important part of the experience at Sukh Sagar Haveli. Meals feature a variety of dishes prepared using fresh, locally sourced ingredients, allowing guests to enjoy well-prepared food in relaxed surroundings.
The homestay’s intimate character, distinctive decor and welcoming atmosphere help create an experience that goes beyond conventional accommodation. Its setting encourages guests to slow down, enjoy their surroundings and appreciate the details that make the property unique.
An on-site store also offers visitors an opportunity to browse and purchase selected items, adding another personal element to their stay.
Experiencing a Quieter Side of Jodhpur
Sukh Sagar Haveli is well suited to travellers looking for an alternative to conventional hotels and a chance to experience Jodhpur at a more relaxed pace. Its appeal lies in the combination of comfortable accommodation, artistic interiors, natural surroundings and the personal character of a heritage-inspired homestay.
For visitors who value art, nature, culture and tranquillity, the property offers a distinctive base from which to explore the Blue City before returning to a peaceful and welcoming environment.
With its traditional architecture, lush gardens and collection of Indian art and artefacts, Sukh Sagar Haveli presents a memorable homestay experience that brings together the cultural richness of Rajasthan and the comforts of a home away from home.
“Hosting guests from every corner of the world is a true pleasure. Sharing stories and finding common interests over a cup of chai is what makes this place feel like home. And the haveli truly comes alive when guests wander through the gardens, taking it all in at their own pace.”
— Cathy, Owner, Sukh Sagar Haveli | Jodhpur
