Sawai Madhopur, India

The Oberoi Vanyavilas, Ranthambhore

1 / 10

The takeaway

A 28-tent garden retreat beside Ranthambhore, best for travelers who want park access and a considered base between wildlife drives.

About the hotel

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.
