Vannraj Resort and Spa  

On the edge of Pench National Park in Kurai (Turiya), this luxury safari lodge and spa resort sits minutes from the town center and about a 10‑minute drive from Kohka Lake. Turia Gate is roughly 3.3 miles away, putting wildlife trails and park access within easy reach.

Set inside a dense dry deciduous forest, Vannraj blends regional architecture and culture with a rustic‑luxe lodge vibe. The 16 individually decorated rooms have desks, coffee/tea makers and daily housekeeping; bathrooms include showers, bidets and complimentary toiletries. Expect authentic Central Indian touches in decor and a relaxed, nature‑first atmosphere.

Pamper at the full spa with massages, facials and body treatments, or cool off in the outdoor pool and unwind at the poolside bar. There’s a fitness center, bicycles to rent, a library and an arcade/game room. Family‑friendly features include a kids’ playroom. Practical perks: free self‑parking, transfers and a roundtrip airport shuttle (surcharge). Wake up to birdsong and dry‑forest air.

A business center and reception hall serve events and meetings, backed by a 24‑hour front desk and complimentary newspapers in the lobby.

The on‑site restaurant celebrates regional Central Indian cuisine and local flavors. Enjoy a complimentary buffet breakfast daily from 8:30–10:30, order room service during limited hours, and sip cocktails at the bar/lounge or poolside.
