The Oberoi Rajvilas, Jaipur

With the style of a traditional Rajasthani fort, this spectacular retreat five miles outside Jaipur is a destination within itself.
Recreating the romance and grandeur of Rajasthan and encircled by landscaped gardens and scattered pools, The Oberoi Rajvilas is a picture-perfect retreat. First-class luxury is effortlessly blended with Oberoi’s exceptionally high standards of service, making it one of the most sought-after hotels in the world. Built around a 300-year-old Shiva temple, the resort is also a wonderfully peaceful place for the spiritually minded to enjoy some meditation or yoga. Slip into the beautiful pool for some gentle reflection and relax at the spa with treatments designed to eke out every ounce of tension from your body. There is also a fitness centre, two tennis courts and a five-hole pitch and putt golf course.

Feast on exceptional Indian and international cuisine at the hotel‘s two restaurants. Raj Mahal offers authentic dishes from across the country – there’s also a Tandoor bar where guests can participate in making Indian breads and kebabs. Surya Mahal offers intimate meals and evenings of traditional music and dance beneath a romantic blanket of stars, while the Rajwada Library Bar provides an intimate setting to enjoy cocktails and fine wines.
