The Oberoi Amarvilas, Agra,Uttar Pradesh

As unashamedly romantic as the Taj Mahal itself, Oberoi Amarvilas provides the As unashamedly romantic as the Taj Mahal itself, Oberoi Amarvilas provides the best views in the city that money can buy. Just 600 metres from this ode to love, it is a reason to stay in Agra for more than just the usual stopover. Witness the Taj in all its ethereal hues: from glowing alabaster under a moonlit sky, to dusky pink at daybreak. Incredible how one building can take on so many forms. Golf buggies are on standby for you to whisk you around the property, and its manicured gardens, in style, whilst a glistening pool, that maintains an air of decorum at all times, is the perfect spot to while away a hot Indian afternoon. With 102 rooms Amarvilas manages to maintain the serenity and personality of a boutique property, none of the downstairs lobby bustle found at properties of a similar size. Rooms are palatial, each one and go out of their way to provide unparalleled views of the Taj Mahal. Vases of fresh flowers in room add to the romance, whilst the Oberoi spa, with signature couples treatments and rose petal baths, are the height of indulgence. No surprise its popular amongst honeymooners then.
