The Oberoi Rajvilas, Jaipur, India

Overview

Set within 32 acres of landscaped gardens just outside Jaipur, this jewel of Rajasthani heritage recreates royal splendour with striking authenticity and a sense of sanctuary. Villas, tents and suites are clustered around private courtyards amid groves of indigenous trees and sand dunes, offering both privacy and regal ambiance.

Accommodations range from luxury tents with sunken marble baths and private gardens to two-storey villas featuring private swimming pools. Interiors blend four-poster beds, silk textiles, carved lattices and Mughal arches, while many suites include their own verandas and courtyards. Elephant fountains along pathways and torch-lit pools add nighttime magic.

The 8000 m² spa is a highlight – Ayurvedic treatments, yoga classes and spa pavilions draw on traditional Indian rituals. Dining spans outdoor pavilions serving traditional Rajasthani meals, live barbecues by torchlight, and a fine-dining hall. Warm, intuitive staff deliver Butler service and private excursions to Amber Fort, Jaipur bazaars or local polo grounds.
