Oberoi Amarvilas, India

Oberoi Amarvilas, India

India is proud to have one of the most premier luxury resort called Oberoi Amarvilas in Agra, the city of the incredible Taj Mahal! If you are fond of this great monument, I would recommend living this time in this resort as you enjoy its shimmering vistas of this monument right from your elegant room throughout the day. Thanks to the location of the Oberoi Amarvilas that is only 600 m away from the Taj Mahal.

This resort not only offers 24-hour views of the monument, but also boasts thoroughly selected rooms or suites. Even the arrangement of these rooms as well as suites add to the joy of viewing the white wonder since sun-lit morning to moon-lit  night. So, you are greeted by this sun-lit Taj wonder when you wake up, when you have tea in your room in the afternoon, and when you simply stand at the window at night to marvel at its moon-lit as well as manually lit architectural excellence.

Not only the Taj Mahal, but Oberoi Amarvilas boasts a beautiful mix of the Mughal and Moorish architecture rendering it as a majestic engineering feat. To this visually striking appearance add the tranquility as well as richness of recreational facilities such as reflection pools, rich pavilions, Yoga sessions, Spa, Indian cuisine, terraced lawns, and splattering fountains all offering the classical royal life experience. I would recommend a stay of a minimum three nights for easy excursion to the nearby Agra Fort and Fatehpur Sikri – the World Heritage Sites.
