Only from the observation tower can you quite grasp the scale and sense of place at Oberoi Vanyavilas. A sprawling 8ha garden of tented villas, connected by winding pathways that take in the leafy space Oberoi has created, come nightfall the torch-lit ambience adds a romantic level to the soundtrack of a frog-filled lily pond feature. Evocatively arranged tents nod to the royal caravans breaking camp in the area hundreds of years ago. And decadent furnishings such as gold woven tiger-print rugs and polished teak floorboards leading to claw-footed bathtubs with views of your private terrace mark out a decidedly lavish camping experience.
