The Oberoi Group has unveiled its newest property, the Oberoi Vindhyavilas Wildlife Resort, located near Bandhavgarh National Park, India’s sanctuary for Royal Bengal tigers.
A design rooted in place
Designed to mirror the natural beauty and heritage of the Vindhya mountain ranges, the Oberoi Vindhyavilas draws heavily from the local craftsmanship of the Gond and Baiga tribes.
Upon entering the resort, guests are welcomed by a monumental wooden entrance door adorned with tribal carvings handcrafted by Gond artisans. The entry serves as a striking invitation into a space designed to immerse visitors in central India’s rich cultural heritage.
The central lounge and bar, bathed in natural light through floor-to-ceiling windows, showcase pale Katni stone, a locally sourced material. The interiors are warmed by vivid Gond artwork that offers a modern tribute to the region’s indigenous communities.
Accommodations at the Oberoi Vindhyavilas
The property features 19 luxury tents and two expansive villas, each adorned with tribal artistry. Interiors feature handpainted wildlife imagery by local artist Rakesh Prajapati, while tented canopies are decorated with intricate tribal motifs.
Sliding glass doors open onto oversized decks and private gardens filled with flowering kachnar trees, creating a connection with the surrounding 21-acre forested landscape.
Dining spaces
The resort’s F&B concepts include the Dining Room, Tree Court, and the Bush Kitchen, which offers an al fresco dining experience by the lake, set against warm, wood-lined interiors.
