Vanyavilas Ranthambhore - Between the Aravali and the Vindhya mountain ranges in South-Eastern Rajasthan lies the Oberoi Vanyavilas, the ultimate romantic destination for adventurers. Set in 20 acres of landscaped gardens, lakes and fountains, the resort borders on one of the most extraordinary wildlife reserves in the world. Vanyavilas is just a little way from the Ranthambore National Park and Tiger Reserve - home of the magnificent Indian tiger, deer, leopard, and crocodile.
Vanyavilas is a luxurious jungle resort. No comfort is spared. Air-conditioned luxury tents are set among lemon and mango trees by a carp-filled lake. The outdoor swimming pool is heated and there is a fabulous spa. This is no rustic camp.
The main building recreates the glory of a Royal hunting palace with hand painted gilded frescoes, murals of elephants and peacocks, marble and chandeliers. When Indian princes went hunting, they did it in style. Vanyavilas is an idyllic retreat and unashamedly luxurious.
