Tucked away amidst lush rice paddies and offering breathtaking views of misty mountain peaks, the Four Seasons Resort Chiang Mai stands as a world-renowned haven for family getaways. Here, adults can relish a well-deserved break while ensuring their entire family creates lasting memories together. Whether it’s a much-needed escape from the everyday grind or a desire to explore a new remote work destination, this resort is the perfect sanctuary for an extended stay.
Featuring expansive Private Retreats with two to four bedrooms, guests in search of a home-away-from-home now have a new address in the “land of a million rice fields.” Sean Mosher, the General Manager of Four Seasons Resort Chiang Mai and Four Seasons Tented Camp Golden Triangle, shares, “Our resort is the perfect place to embrace the slow life and immerse oneself in the beauty of the rural countryside. Just 30 minutes away from the bustling center of Chiang Mai, the resort is a tranquil retreat offering a variety of experiences that encourage mindfulness and reflection.”
As captivating as the destination itself, Chiang Mai is renowned for its rich cultural heritage, stunning natural landscapes, and vibrant local culture. Ancient temples like Wat Phra Singh and Wat Phra That Doi Suthep tower over lively night markets, offering an authentic Thai cultural experience. “The city also serves as a gateway to the lush jungles and hill tribes of the region, making it an ideal base for outdoor adventures like trekking, zip-lining, and more,” notes Anthony Tschudin, Resort Manager. Just a short 30-minute journey from the city center, picturesque landscapes including lush forests, rolling hills, and serene rivers provide the perfect escape. Tschudin adds, “Here in Mae Rim, guests can explore attractions like the Mae Sa Waterfall and the Queen Sirikit Botanic Garden, whether you’re seeking an outdoor adventure or a relaxed retreat, Mae Rim adds another layer of charm to Chiang Mai’s diverse offerings.”
While parents enjoy early morning yoga sessions in the rice fields, there’s a new world of discovery awaiting their children. The resort offers a well-designed series of activities for teenagers and young children to connect with Thailand’s vibrant culture. Tschudin mentions, “Whether it’s participating in rice planting in our own working rice fields or learning the traditional Thai martial art of Muay Thai, there’s plenty to keep our young guests engaged.” This exhilarating schedule of activities provides an enjoyable way to explore new cultures, transforming education into a fun and immersive experience. Tschudin adds, “Our La-On Kids Club, along with the cultural center Chaan Baan, offers the perfect avenues for authentic and immersive Thai experiences.”
With several years of experience in holistic well-being, the team offers a diverse range of experiences, from immersive spa therapies at Wara Cheewa Spa to wholesome live-well cuisine at the resort’s restaurants. Director of Spa Saowapa Thumapun emphasizes, “We understand that well-being is an integral part of travel plans. From dietary recommendations to spa rituals, our team is here to guide you on a path of well-being that can be sustained by your lifestyle.” The spa menu addresses the four key pillars of well-being—physical, emotional, social, and nutritive—uniting cultural elements. The diverse range of massages, scrubs, facials, and rituals under each pillar helps restore balance, guided by intuitive therapists who are experts in maintaining a harmonious life.
The most expansive accommodations at the resort are the plush 2-4 bedroom Grand Residence Pool Villas, adorned with stylish décor and thoughtful elements that bring warmth to your home-away-from-home. From upholstery to flooring and interior design, these spacious villas infuse a fresh, vibrant energy that complements the serene tropical setting. With a private kitchen, wine room, and sala dining area for up to eight people, guests can truly savor the seclusion this accommodation offers. Tschudin notes, “The 20-meter (66-foot) temperature-controlled pool and beautiful outdoor décor offer an immersive experience, while the private entrance and car park provide a ‘get away from it all’ feeling, all while being attentively cared for by the personal residential assistant.”
For those staying for four nights or more, the resort extends a range of benefits, including a 25 percent discount on room rates, daily breakfast for two people per bedroom, and a 10 percent savings on food and beverage, spa services, and laundry.
“Discover a new space that aligns with your lifestyle. Our dedicated team is committed to delivering the same intuitive service and personalized care for which we are known and trusted worldwide,” reassures Mosher.
