About the Retreat

Romantic – and well-off – trendsetters are certain to find a kindred spirit among the vaulting marble and sleek columns of the Oberoi Amarvilas, a mere 600 m from one of the best-known monuments to love in the world: the Taj Mahal.

The Amarvilas, itself a monument to Moorish elegance, boasts Taj Mahal views from all of its rooms, bar, lobby, and anything else with a window. Its collection of rooms all feature teak floors, plush furniture and marble bathrooms, but the real “jewel in the crown” is the Kohinoor Suite, a four-room beauty which offers the best view of the Taj Mahal from the bathroom.

Man does not live on love alone. Dining options include Esphahan, which specializes in traditional Indian dinners, while the 24-hour Bellevue provides Indian or international breakfasts, lunches and dinners to the ravenous sightseer. Work off all those pounds at the gym, pool, or yoga room, or succumb to laziness with a Thai massage.
