A rolling 12ha resort with an 18th-century Shiva Temple at its heart – while modern, the beautifully designed Oberoi Rajvilas evokes a sense of place akin to the majestic Rajasthani forts that make the area so special. Groupings of villas spread throughout the leafy grounds toe the line between privacy for couples and convenience for larger groups, Royal Tents adding a playful nod to the desert-going caravans of the Raj era. Rarefied Indian cuisine makes the menu at Raj Mahal restaurant – only open during the cooler months – and the Library Bar pours liquid refreshment from a menu of international wines and spirits.
