The Oberoi Vanyavilas

Enjoy authentic Rajasthani cuisine and more international fare at The Dining Room with its painted walls and high chandeliers. Drinks at the bar are a cosy affair, surrounded by tigress oil paintings and walls of well-read books. Enter the spa past flower-filled water features where you can partake in a range of treatments overlooking the lily pond - plus yoga sessions on the pavilion. In a sunny courtyard, enjoy a soak in the pool complete with colourful, tasseled umbrellas.

Across the bridge from the central lodge, the Vanyavilas' luxury tents make a welcome return after a day of exploring. A king size bed, writing desk and plump armchairs set the scene. The bright tents have a high, embroidered canopy and creamy walls, complete with a chaise lounge on the patio and attentive butler service. Other handy amenities include air con, a fully-stocked mini bar, pillow menu and an in-house movie collection. The bathrooms are decked out with a clawfoot tub, high-pressure shower and silk bathrobes.
