Luxury wildlife resort offering tented suites and pool villas
The Oberoi, Vindhyavilās Wildlife Resort, Bandhavgarh, Ranchha, Madhya Pradesh 484664, India Get directions
"Located near Bandhavgarh National Park, this wildlife-focused retreat is MICHELIN’s first hotel selection so close to the park, where India’s highest density of tigers makes wild sightings highly likely on safari. Air-conditioned, garden-laden tents here are by no stretch anything close to camping, and guests can instead opt for luxury villas with private pools if the thought of canvas feels too rustic. The property emphasizes comfort before and after expert-led safaris through the park, with a recommendation of at least two or three outings, and between game drives the broader landscape of forest, meadows, caves and history adds to the sense of immersion in the region." - Mitchell Friedman

"A strongly sweet aroma of Mahua blossoms greeted me at the imposing entrance, where general manager Vikas Sawhney handed me a delicate glass of homemade lemonade. Open only since March yet already booking up, this second wildlife resort from Oberoi spreads 19 luxury tents and two pool villas across 21 acres of fountain grass and kachnar trees in Bandhavgarh, and the allure is amplified by the area’s star resident, the Royal Bengal Tiger. The setting feels immersive and luxurious, with nature putting on a show no matter the time of year." - Nicole Kliest
"An opulent wildlife retreat opening beside a national park known for one of the world’s highest tiger densities, blending luxury with conservation-minded experiences: tented-ceiling accommodations inspired by royal caravans with hand-woven rugs and rich textiles, curated wildlife encounters including visits to local villages to learn about human–wildlife coexistence, and a design that elevates classic hospitality in a frontline safari setting." - Jennifer Flowers
"The newest addition to the “Vilas” properties, The Oberoi Vindhyavilas sits just beyond the gates of Bandhavgarh National Park, a landscape known for its remarkable tiger population. Spread across 21 acres, the resort is composed of tented suites and pool villas set in private gardens with decks overlooking fields and forest. Inside, canopied ceilings, Gond artworks, and hand-painted studies of local wildlife anchor the spaces to their setting. With a spa, tranquil lake views, and safaris at dawn, it offers immersion in the wilderness with the hallmarks of Oberoi hospitality." - Tablet Hotels
