A Reverent Ode to Central India

Just minutes from Bandhavgarh National Park, nestled in a tranquil 21-acre forest, The Oberoi Vindhyavilas emerges as an understated masterpiece of biophilic design. Conceived under the vision of Arjun Oberoi and the brand’s in‑house team, this resort is more than a destination — it's a thoughtful celebration of place.

Design Rooted in the Land

Architectural Symphony: Inspired by the rugged Vindhya range and tribal artistry, the resort incorporates local Katni stone, soaring natural-light atriums, and a grand hand‑carved Gond‑artisan entrance.
Artistic Flourish: Inside, vivid Gond murals and motifs painted by Rakesh Prajapati pay tribute to the Gond and Baiga tribes, weaving ancestral narratives into everyday luxury

Tents & Villas: Luxury Meets Wilderness

Intimate Retreats: Guests can choose from 19 luxury tents or two private villas with pools — each a sanctuary with en-suite Gond-inspired decor, sliding decks, gardens, and frangipani‑lined private spaces.
Rustic Elegance: Canopy intricacies, wildlife murals, and hand‑embroidered motifs ensure that every accommodation feels organically tied to its surroundings

Culinary Journey Through Heritage

Regional Reverence: Chef Sachin Kumar, schooled in the Royal Kitchen of Nagod, emphasizes heirloom Madhya Pradesh recipes alongside global favorites — all prepared thoughtfully, with local ingredients.
Experiential Dining: Options range from lakeside barbecues and tree‑court bonfires to starlit feasts at The Bush Kitchen, culminating in a regal “Royal Baghelkhand” dinner inspired by local royal traditions.

Wildlife, Wellness & Cultural Immersion

Safari Adventures: Guided game drives by expert naturalists promise close encounters with majestic tigers, leopards, sloth bears, elephants, and over 250 species of birds — a testament to the region’s conservation success.
Cultural Tapestry: Guests can visit Sarmaniya’s villages, meet master Gond artist Sukhiram, and enjoy storytelling sessions under the canopy of stars — forging deep connections with indigenous traditions.
Upcoming Spa & Wellness: Soon-to-be-launched offerings will include nature-inspired therapies, outdoor yoga, and meditation sessions — all designed to relax and renew in nature’s embrace

A New Benchmark in Eco‑Luxury

The Oberoi Vindhyavilas is gaining international acclaim — even earning a spot in TIME’s World’s Greatest Places 2025. More than a resort, it's a sanctuary where:

Luxury meets responsible design
Cultural heritage meets sophisticated hospitality
Wilderness meets immersive storytelling

For travelers seeking soul-stirring experiences — whether chasing tigers at dawn, sharing tales with tribal artists, or dining beneath a starlit sky — this is luxury with purpose.

Final Thoughts

The Oberoi Vindhyavilas isn’t just accommodation; it's a dialogue between architecture, nature, and humanity. Seamlessly blending eco-conscious design with indigenous artistry and global-standard service, it stands as a new benchmark for sustainable luxury in India’s wildlife heartland. A place where every detail — from carved doors to tribal murals — tells a story rooted in land, legacy, and love.
