The Oberoi Rajvilas
Why The
Oberoi Rajvilas
is perfect for
a monsoon
getaway
While we give
Rajasthan a wide
berth in summer,
the chance to
witness the onset
of the monsoon
here is particularly
special. And The
Oberoi Rajvilas,
a palatial 32-acre
property on the
outskirts of Jaipur,
with luxury villas
and tented suites,
is a royal oasis.
Quiet and peaceful,
the only sounds
you’ll hear here are
birdcalls, from the
numerous species
that live amid the
jacarandas and
gulmohars (keep
an eye out for the
peacocks). Cocoon
yourself in luxury,
walk the grounds
and stop at the
280-year-old Shiva
temple, or visit the
herb garden to see
just how fresh the
produce that makes
it to your plate
really is. Don’t leave
without partaking
in the Oberoi
Signature massage
at the spa, which
will set you right no
matter your aches
or pains.

LAP OF

living? Lodha
Maison prods

St. Regis Mumbai
and High Street
Phoenix, is Lodha
Maison. If you’re

peaceful haven
amidst chaotic

The Park, this all-
in-one property

pool or begin
your mornings
meditating at your

what you’re looking
for, an elevator

the underground
parking directly
into your home.
