Oberoi Vindhyavilas, Raffles Jaipur And Papa’s Bombay Make It To The List
Oberoi Vindhyavilas covers 21 acres and features 19 spacious, air-conditioned tents, each with its own garden, as well as two private pool villas. The resort includes a spa, library, swimming pool, fitness center, and beautiful gardens by a lake, along with walking paths and an open-air restaurant. On the other hand, Raffles Jaipur draws inspiration from a zenana, or queen’s palace, and is a stunning 50-room property. It showcases beautiful hand-carved marble, Mughal-style arches, intricate latticework screens known as jaalis, and thikri art, which is a unique glass-and-mirror mosaic from the region.
Besides this, Papa’s Bombay in Mumbai, Maharashtra has made it to the list of ‘Places To Visit’. Papa’s Bombay, located in Bandra, Mumbai, is a must-visit spot, led by Chef Hussain Shahzad. Set in the attic of a former bakery, it pays tribute to Chef Shahzad’s mentor, the late chef Floyd Cardoz, known as Papa-ji. The restaurant offers a unique 13-course tasting menu that fuses traditional Indian flavors with global culinary techniques, all while evoking a sense of nostalgia.
