The Oberoi Amarvilas

Everyone visits Agra to see the magnificent Taj Mahal, but the The Oberoi Amarvilas are reason enough to never want to leave. Those seeking a little relaxation can choose from an array of Ayurvedic treatments in the spa, and the multi-level pool offers many spots to cool off in, and many more sun loungers to laze upon in the sun. If first-class cuisine is up your street, choose between traditional Tandoor delicacies or modern dining in one of the two exquisite restaurants. And did we mention that it's all set in gorgeous, landscaped gardens?

The Oberoi Amarvilas has a total of 102 rooms and incredibly, every single one looks out onto the Taj Mahal so you won't be disappointed wherever you stay. Each of the rooms is a celebration of Indian craftsmanship and features hand-knotted rugs, polished wooden floors, silk cushions and marble bathrooms. Each room also has 24-hour butler service, a pillow menu to suit your preference, and express laundry. After all, you've got to look your best for the Taj.

If you're in Agra, you will undoubtedly have your sights set on that most famous monument to love, the Taj Mahal. Sunrise and sunset are spectacular times to view the marble monolith and The Oberoi Amarvilas can arrange guided tours and private transport if desired. In the evening, take the romance further and dine under the stars beside one of the many reflective pools with your own private butler to meet every need...
