History
The Oberoi Sukhvilas Resort & Spa opened on December 1, 2016, in Palanpur village on the edge of the 8,000-acre Siswan Forest Range near New Chandigarh, in the outer foothills of the Himalayas. It was the Oberoi Group's first new 'Vilas'-branded leisure property in 14 years, since Udaivilas opened in Udaipur in 2002, and its first resort built specifically around a destination spa rather than sightseeing or wildlife. Part of the original 64 rooms were 800-square-foot air-conditioned canvas tents with their own private pools and teak floors, joined by haveli-style buildings arranged around courtyards, all designed in the Rajput- and Mughal-inspired style of Oberoi's other Vilas resorts.
