Fortress garden refuge

Also in AFAR and Tatler.
The beauty is almost unreal—not the ravaged beauty of history, but the unspoiled beauty of dreams.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Located eight kilometers outside Jaipur, the tranquil grounds sit within easy reach of the Pink City's bazaars and historic Amber Fort.
The rooms
Cluster rooms feature sunken marble bathtubs facing private gardens, while climate-controlled tents showcase teak floors and hand-embroidered canopy ceilings.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Carved stone elephants line the main heated swimming pool, and private villa courtyards feature checkered plunge pools.
Yoga and the gym
Morning yoga takes place under banyan trees beside the Shiva temple, and an indoor gym offers weight machines.
The spa
Ayurvedic treatments and herbal baths take place inside a restored 300-year-old Rajasthani haveli.
At the table
Surya Mahal serves regional dishes beneath high vaulted ceilings and crystal chandeliers, and the library bar pours single malts.
32 fabulously private acres of gardens, fountains, peacocks, and fort-inspired architecture that does a beautiful job of transporting its guests to pure serenity.
How it began
Opened in 1997 as the foundational Vilas retreat, the estate was modeled on P.R.S. Oberoi's restoration of nearby Naila Fort.
“Spread across 32 acres of manicured gardens, The Oberoi Rajvilas reimagines a traditional Rajasthani fort city with pink high-walled courtyards, reflective pools and regal pavilions.”
