8. The Oberoi Vanyavilas – Sawai Madhopur, India
Located in a remote area of northern India, the Oberoi Vanyavilas is a premium and luxurious hotel that has much to offer. The hotel is comprised of the main buildings that house their spa and restaurant, and a series of “luxury tents”. I know what you’re thinking, “tents aren’t luxurious”. But these aren’t really tents, they are more like small palaces outfitted with luxury accommodations that just happen to have a roof made from fabric. While the hotel is attractive on its own, people come here to see tigers in the wild.
