Sherpur, Khiljipur, India

SUJÁN Sher Bagh

The takeaway

Choose Sher Bagh for a small, canvas-and-campfire base beside Ranthambhore, where the draw is time in tiger country rather than a resort itinerary.

About the hotel

On the edge of Ranthambhore National Park, SUJÁN Sher Bagh is a 12-suite tented camp established in 2000. Its canvas accommodation draws on 1920s safari-camp style, with campaign furniture, private verandas and, in the Jungle Suites, brass bathtubs and open stone showers. Days are built around exploring the reserve and its wildlife; back at camp, guests can gather for meals and relax by the pool. The camp is part of the SUJÁN collection.

Choose it if

You want a small camp with 12 tented suites rather than a large hotel.
You are coming primarily to explore Ranthambhore; the camp is on the national park’s edge and offers game drives.
You are traveling with family or friends and want a two-tent arrangement; the Machhli Suite has neighboring, non-interconnected tents.

Skip it if

You need full park safari access in July–September; Rajasthan Tourism lists Ranthambhore as open from October through June.

The Oberoi Vanyavilas, Ranthambhore

Sawai Madhopur, India

DesertCountryside

On the edge of Ranthambhore National Park and Tiger Reserve in Sawai Madhopur, this 20-acre resort sets 28 tented accommodations among landscaped gardens, waterbodies and native flora. The tents draw on the imagery of royal caravans, while the resort’s observation tower looks across the surrounding jungle. Jungle drives and guided nature walks put wildlife at the center of a stay here; its 28 accommodations make it a comparatively small base for exploring the reserve.

The Oberoi Rajvilas, Jaipur

Jaipur, India

City71 roomsRomantic

Set across 32 acres on Jaipur’s southeastern side, The Oberoi Rajvilas turns a resort stay into a stylised retreat from the city. Domed pink architecture, reflection pools and quiet courtyards shape the grounds, where rooms, tents and villas sit in landscaped gardens. The design draws on traditional Rajasthani forms, while Maharaja-inspired luxury tents add a distinct accommodation option. Central Jaipur is about 10 kilometres away, so the property works best as a base for planned outings rather than a stay in the old city.

Shinta Mani Wild

Prey Praseth Village, Cambodia

Jungle15 roomsUltra-Luxury

Shinta Mani Wild is a 15-tent camp set along a river in Cambodia’s Cardamom rainforest, on a 350-hectare forest property. Bill Bensley designed each tent as a distinct, raised retreat with a canvas roof, air-conditioned bedroom, antiques, and a riverside tub. The camp’s conservation work is closely tied to the place: it partners with Wildlife Alliance, supports an on-site ranger station, and gives guests the option to join patrols protecting the forest from poaching and illegal logging.
