Royal Oasis in Wankaner, Gujarat, India, was the former summer residence of the erstwhile royal family of Wankaner. It now operates as a heritage hotel.
History
The history of the Royal Oasis begins in the 1870s when Banesinhji erected a single-storey bungalow in colonial-style architecture for resting and named it Garden House. After Banesinhji, his son and successor, Amarsinhji continued using it for the same purpose and would host his guests there. In 1917, when Amarsinhji's daughter married Purna Chandra Bhanj Deo, the Maharaja of Mayurbhanj, he hosted them there and named it Purna Chandra Bhawan after his son-in-law..
