A far cry from the busy streets of Delhi, Oberoi Sukhvilas is a luxurious respite set in the foothills of the Himalayas outside of Chandigarh, India. With spacious guest rooms, multiple pools, and an enormous ayurvedic spa, the Oberoi Sukhvilas is perfect for those looking to relax in nature.
room
Rooms here range from standard (but still deluxe) rooms with top-of-the-line amenities to outrageously luxurious presidential suites that are more like mini-mansions, with multiple rooms, fireplaces, gardens, and private plunge pools. The forest “tents” put the glam in glamping, with bathtubs, closets, air conditioning, running water, and private plunge pools overlooking the Siswan Forest.
bathroom
Bathrooms are breathtaking, with floor-to-ceiling windows that look out onto a private patio, and top-of-the-line appliances, including those fancy Japanese toilets with heaters and sprays.
lobby
The lobby, restaurant, ballroom, and boutique are all located in a bright and airy building with opulent chandeliers, giant flower arrangements, and intricate painted murals.
pool
There are two pools here--one located near the standard rooms and suites, and one located near the forest tents.

The spa is one of the largest in India, offering Ayurvedic treatments as well as international treatments from around the globe.
