Taking a cue from the erstwhile hunting lodges of maharajas, Dev Vilas is built in the Indo-Gothic style. Its domed chhatris, vaulted roofs and open pavilions inspire romance and adventure, situated as it is on the fringe of the Ranthambore National Park. But times have changed and unlike the hunting lodges of the maharajas, the resort follows a strictly eco-friendly policy practicing rain water harvesting and recharging ground water. Relax in the lap of nature – the swimming pool gives you great views of the greenery and the view from the terrace at sundown is mesmerizing with ruins and the Aravalis looming in the distance.

USP: A regal abode in the realm of the royal Bengal tiger. Come here for adventure and romance.
