Four Seasons Chiang Mai
Chiang Mai
OVERVIEW
Nestled in the mysterious Mae Rim Valley on terraced rice fields you’ll find the Four Seasons Resort Chiang Mai – and there’s really no better place from which to discover Thailand’s northern cultural capital. Once known as the Lanna Kingdom, or ‘the land of a million rice fields’ as well as the Rose of the North, after exploring Chiang Mai for yourself you’ll understand why people think of the destination so fondly.
After action-packed days exploring the rich tapestry of cultures, navigating your way around centuries-old temples and meeting the warm and welcoming local people, we can’t think of a better place to return to and relax. Located in a 20-acre garden within the beautiful Mae Rim Valley just outside of Chiang Mai, the Four Seasons offers unparalleled luxury in the area. The wonderfully peaceful setting is ideal for relaxation but the city is a mere 20 minute drive away, so you’re never far from the action.
Whether you choose one of the six-themed treatments in the relaxing spa, stretch it out in the dedicated yoga barn or just retire to your own private pavilion, we can assure you you’ll be relaxed and rejuvenated ready to start your next adventure-filled day.
