The Oberoi Rajvilas
Jaipur

Located just 35 minutes from Jaipur’s bustling city centre, The Oberoi Rajvilas was the first of the Oberoi Vilas properties and remains one of the group’s most iconic retreats. Nestled within 32 acres of lush landscaped gardens, this luxurious resort blends seamlessly with its serene countryside setting. Designed in the style of a traditional Rajput fort and featuring an 18th-century Shiva temple within its grounds, the hotel feels deeply rooted in Rajasthan’s rich cultural and spiritual heritage.

Unlike the palatial city hotels of Jaipur, Rajvilas has a distinct resort feel. Its rooms and villas are scattered throughout the expansive gardens, providing a real sense of space and privacy. Alongside the traditional rooms and suites, there are a number of luxurious Tented Villas; opulent standalone accommodations with canopied ceilings, polished teak floors and claw-foot bathtubs, offering an atmospheric stay with all the comforts of a hotel suite. The sense of tranquillity here is matched by the ever-present sound of birdsong and the sight of the hotel’s resident peacocks, who strut through the grounds with a regal air, as if hosting guests on their own estate.

Each room benefits from its own outdoor space, perfect for enjoying a quiet morning coffee as the sun rises and the gardens come to life. Given the scale of the grounds, golf buggies are available on request to ferry guests between rooms and the central facilities, and in the winter months or during peak season, a short wait is the norm. While the location does mean that a stay here requires a little more planning for city sightseeing, the sense of escape it offers more than compensates. For those seeking a slower pace, this is an ideal spot to unwind for a few nights before or after exploring Rajasthan’s more frenetic corners.

As with all Oberoi properties, the service is impeccable; warm, intuitive and attentive without ever being intrusive. The hotel offers all the amenities expected from a luxury resort, including a beautifully appointed spa and fitness centre, a serene yoga pavilion and guided meditation sessions. The outdoor swimming pool is framed by tropical plants and ornate sandstone features, creating a secluded and peaceful setting for rest and relaxation.

Dining at Rajvilas is a pleasure in itself. Surya Mahal, the hotel’s all-day dining restaurant, serves an elegant menu of international cuisine, while Raj Mahal focuses on refined Indian fare and operates seasonally from October through to April. Both offer alfresco and indoor dining, allowing guests to dine under the stars or in the cool elegance of traditional interiors.

The Oberoi Rajvilas is not just a place to stay, it’s a place to pause. Perfect for couples, honeymooners or families looking to spend quality time together in a setting that balances authenticity, luxury and peace, this property offers a deeply relaxing contrast to the colour and energy of Jaipur itself.

Client Testimonials

So many highlights to choose from! The hotels were amazing but Maya Villa was a highlight… I loved just hanging out in the hammock reading my book and watching the peacocks chase the cows!
- Krista Weir, Sri Lanka
Ampersand provided a bespoke and flexible holiday, tailored to my every whim. Their highly professional staff had only one goal which was to arrange an exceptional holiday and some unforgettable experiences in India. I have no hesitation in fully recommending them and they will be the first company I approach in the future - 10/10
- Anonymous, India
I thought the Ampersand team was outstanding. We couldn’t have hoped for anything more.
- Mr Geoffrey Johnson, India
Ballyfin was great - we loved it! Best things were the amount of space, it felt like you had the whole place to yourself, the history of the house, and the staff. We'd definitely recommend it. Thanks very much for all the help getting it booked!
- Mr Wyburd, Ireland
I would recommend Ampersand without any hesitation!!! The best travel agent that I’ve ever had. Everything – from the individual care and attention in planning the trip, through to the efficiency of the agents on the ground in India – was handled brilliantly. An absolutely first-class service all round!
- Matthew Annable, Rajasthan, India
Getting to Amanpulo from Manila was very simple and the beach was the most beautiful I’d ever been on; pristine white sand, not a single piece of rubbish in sight. You get your own solar powered golf buggy to drive around resort (and a butler at request). The views from the Hillside Casita were spectacular!
- Mr Wyburd, Philippines
Ampersand’s preparation, attention to detail and interaction before and during our trip show exactly why good travel agents have a role in today’s internet booking age. They were a delight to deal with!
- Mr David Wallace, North India
We really enjoyed the trip and were happy that we squeezed so much into a few short days. The Burmese people were lovely and the sites were fantastic. We really enjoyed the balloon ride and would highly suggest it to others in the future. The trip went super smoothly and a good time plus learning happened for all. Yangon was nice as the Strand was quite amazing and we of course loved the giant gold temple. Many thanks for all of your help and look forward to future travel with you.
- Wallace Family, Burma
We have just returned back from a wonderful trip. Thank you very much for organising everything. The transfer was excellent – for once they had perfect car seats. The villa was lovely, just what we needed and the hotel had helpfully put us as far away as possible from everyone else. The breakfast buffet was the best I have ever seen – and I am slightly obsessive over breakfast!! There was an incredible choice, something for everyone and so beautifully presented. A real highlight of the trip. Thank you again for sorting everything - and at such short notice!
- Redmayne family, Phuket
Difficult to articulate just how good the service from you and your team really was. We know you will continue to do well and hope we have the chance to seek your assistance again before long.
- Mr & Mrs Manson, North India
We had a wonderful holiday - everything was perfect. Thank you for helping us to make a thoughtful plan to enjoy and make most out of our trip. The places we visited, the guides, the transportation and driver, the hotels selected... Everything was great!
- Jaime Benitez, South India
Everything you did for us whilst we were away was hugely appreciated, and Ampersand has been exemplary in every way. I'll always recommend you!
- Mr Richard Stoughton, Sri Lanka
Without question, you put together the best trip I have ever taken. We were shown around like visiting dignitaries, the hotels were fantastic and the itinerary was just right. Everybody I know will hear about how amazing Ampersand is!
- Leslie Siben, India
I barely know where to begin... though a sincere 'thank you' would be the best. You have organised this trip perfectly. May was an inspiring and delightful companion in Myanmar – thoroughly professional and friendly at the same time. My accommodation throughout has been superb, especially The Governor's Residence and The Mandarin Oriental. The view from the cottage at Inle Lake was beautiful and I loved every moment of being there. And here I am now on the last leg of this extended holiday at my favourite place. I could stay here for ever, the peace, silence and surroundings all amazing, plus the people and the whole aura of Vana. Thank you for much, and I look forward to speaking to you on my return.
- Ms Margulies, Burma, India & Thailand
Difficult to choose the highlight of the trip, can’t choose between… 1) Taj Mahal & Oberoi Amarvilas. 2) Ranthambore. 3) Lake Palace. We have to say a particular thank you for selecting Parmod as our driver. He is a delightful and kind man who took our holiday and our enjoyment as his responsibility. Thank you for putting together such an amazing trip for us. The balance of city and rural destinations was perfect for us and the variety of rooms and hotel types brilliant. Our driver and guides also added so much to the trip with their knowledge of India’s history and culture and their willingness to discuss it both from a professional and personal angle.
- Carruthers family, North India
I had a very lovely time and was looked after splendidly. My first visit to India could not have been better, save for being longer! But I shall return at some point and I shall look to you to make the arrangements.
- Matthew Nicklin, North India
