OBEROI RAJVILAS
Jaipur, Rajasthan


The property: A sumptuous architectural hodgepodge that includes a centuries-old mansion, a recreated Rajasthani-style fortress (containing 54 guest rooms), and a collection of luxury tents and villas.

The location: A 32-acre oasis of sweeping green lawns, landscaped gardens, and lotus-covered ponds five miles outside the city of Jaipur.

Rooms to Book: The 14 Luxury Tents—actually more like opulent pavilions—have polished teak floors, claw-foot tubs, private slate patios, and even air conditioning.

Don't Miss: An Ayurvedic treatment at the spa, set in a converted 260-year-old haveli (mansion) where hand-painted frescoes adorn the walls.
