The Oberoi Vanyavilas, Ranthambhore

This is a stunning resort that borders Ranthambore National Park. We adored our stay and fell in love with Ratna (General Manager) and her ENTIRE staff who worked effortlessly to welcome us and attend to any needs. Their warmth and gracious hospitality are genuine and I could not recommend this camp more!

What an amazing stay, went there to celebrate engagement anniversary. Bdw i went there again in a span if few months because of their hospitality. Everyone is amazong there. Rooms are beautiful. Need to go there!

Oberoi is the best overall in the world. Every property is exceptionally beautiful, with superior service, excellent food, and a unique atmosphere. However, my favorite location is Ranthambhore for its luxury tents and staff.

We were welcomed into Vanyavilas with a gentle shower of rose petals - a moment that instantly set the tone for what was to come. As the kids were greeted with puzzles, stoles, and tiny pagaris, their faces lit up with pure joy. It was thoughtful, charming, and incredibly special, an arrival we will never forget! I travelled with my husband, our two boys, and my best friend, with her daughter visiting from Dubai and it turned out to be one of those rare experiences that delights both adults and children equally. We did a walk in the afternoon with the naturalist, who was so knowledgeable. The kids were completely absorbed, spotting birds and insects around the property, learning about the flora and fauna in the resort, climbing up the observation tower for sweeping forest views, and truly engaging with nature in such an immersive way. I would highly recommend this experience for anyone visiting with kids. Safaris were made even more comfortable with well-prepared snack boxes and blankets - such a thoughtful addition that makes early mornings and long drives so much easier. The food deserves a special mention - it was consistently exceptional, with every meal thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented. Chef Atharvas' team deserves a special mention. A particularly special moment was when I mentioned to Chef Atharva that my younger son dreams of becoming a chef; he immediately and graciously took all the kids on a tour of the kitchen. It meant the world to them and is something they will remember for a long time. A big part of what makes this place so special is the team. Under the leadership of Ms. Ratna Malhotra, the General Manager, there is a clear culture of warmth, attention to detail, and genuine care. Every single team member greets you with a smile and makes you feel at home. The hospitality feels deeply personal, not transactional - which is rare. We were especially touched by the little details that made the experience unforgettable for the children. From towel art and nature walks to tiara-making using flowers and twigs, and even a visit to the kitchen garden—there was always something engaging planned. The evening sessions with the naturalists, especially the one on tigers, were both educational and fascinating. Personalised bedtime letters and stories were left for the kids each night. It was such a heartfelt gesture and something they looked forward to daily. Even the child-sized bathrobes and slippers added to the feeling of being completely pampered. The ambience of the property is elevated further by live Rajasthani folk music during breakfast and dinner—it adds such an authentic and soulful touch to the experience. And the presence of so many peacocks wandering gracefully around the property only adds to its charm. The experience ended on just as thoughtful a note - with beautiful parting gifts for the children, including boxes of chocolates, a striking glass pugmark, and stunning prints of Ranthambore’s tigers. It was the perfect way to carry a piece of the wilderness back home. Overall, the level of luxury, comfort, and thoughtful hospitality here is truly world-class. It’s not just a hotel stay, "it’s truly an experience that stays with you long after you leave."
