Vanyavilas Luxury Hotel, Ranthambore
Luxury Hotel of India

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.

In the Dining Room and Inner Courtyard, Executive Chef Soumya Goswami and Indian Master Chef Yogendar Pal provide a very high standard of Western, Thai and Indian cuisine from a constantly changing menu. Much of the fresh produce and salad comes straight from the kitchen garden at Vanyavilas.

The exquisitely decorated restaurant features hand painted frescoes of flowers and animals by the celebrated miniaturist Mohan Singh Kumawat. Outside is the walled terrace of the Inner Courtyard which is lit at night by a massive log fire.

As Vanyavilas aims to provide a highly personalised service, guests may choose to dine wherever they wish. Although officially there is no room service here, in practice, as with all Oberoi resorts, staff do their utmost to meet guests every need.

At lunchtime guests may order from the varied pool menu.
