A WONDERFUL PLACE TO RECHARGE
Set in the picturesque Mae Rim Valley with views of mountains and emerald rice paddies, the Four Seasons Chiang Mai is one of Thailand’s most luxurious and exclusive hideaways.
Though just 30 minutes from the bustling centre of Chiang Mai, the Four Seasons feels like a haven of calm amidst 20 acres of luscious grounds. Designed to resemble a traditional Thai village with Lanna-style architecture, it’s a wonderful place to recharge as well as being a great base for exploring the artistic and cultural heritage of Thailand’s northern capital.
There are 64 pavilions clustered around the central pond, 12 romantic villas and 23 magnificent residences. All beautifully designed in the style of a luxurious Northern Thai home, down to the lofty vaulted ceilings, Siamese artefacts and traditional wooden furnishings. All have an outdoor sala overlooking the gardens or rice paddies, while some also boast private pools and the services of a personal butler.
Backed by the valley’s dreamy rice fields, the three restaurants showcase elevated Northern Thai cuisine – dishes that you can learn to prepare yourself at the on-site cookery school. Other facilities include two infinity pools, tennis courts and a full-service spa offering traditional Thai and detox programmes.
