The resort, spread over 20 acres, is surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens filled with blossoming trees and shrubs, and birdlife. The ultimate romantic destination for adventurers, the resort lies between the Aravali and Vindhya mountain ranges. It is also close to the Ranthambore National Park and Tiger Reserve, which houses the magnificent Indian tiger, deer, leopard, and crocodile. When at the resort, take a relaxing stroll around the grounds or enjoy the panoramic views of the neighbouring jungle from the private observation tower.
Luxury tented accommodations
The Oberoi Vanyavilas Wildlife Resort offers luxury tents inspired by the opulent caravans of royal families. The resort has 25 spacious luxury tents, located at a comfortable distance from each other, to allow for ultimate privacy. Measuring 790 square feet each, the tents include an elegantly appointed bedroom, a private outdoor sitting area, and an outside deck to sunbathe in with ease. The tents also boast of king-sized four-poster beds, freestanding roll-top baths, and separate showers. The colours and prints of the furnishings are inspired by the hues of the jungle.
