Drifting away surrounded by rice fields
Lose yourself in a calming view of rice fields, small streams, and unparalleled tropical lushness, just a stone's throw from the most atmospheric city in Northern Thailand. Four Seasons Chiang Mai is built in the style of a rural village, and the surrounding land is actively cultivated. The perfect combination of culture and nature, tranquility and tradition awaits you.
Amidst this rustic Thai idyll, you will find an excellent collection of Lanna-style accommodations, spacious and with comfortable seating areas that are perfectly situated to take in the magnificent surroundings. Elegant and stylish, they form true oases of peace for a romantic and intimate stay.
Just as the resort is located in the heart of the magical Mae Rim Valley, the two swimming pools are also situated in the heart of the resort. Surrounded by greenery, with a sense of ultimate relaxation, the pace of the day is set by the rhythm of nature. Curious butterflies and dragonflies occasionally flutter by to take a look. You reach out your hand and find a glass of icy refreshment. The refined service will leave you in awe.
Dining at the Four Seasons is not just a meal, it is an experience. The locations and dishes vie for supremacy, but together they enhance the gastronomic ambiance. Wake up to breakfast amidst the rice fields and end the day with an intimate dinner in the Rice Barn, culminating in releasing a krathong, a traditional banana leaf boat with a candle inside, onto the pond.

Balloon Ride Over Chiang Mai
Green hills, a slowly orange-tinting sky, and magical mists rising from the landscape. The best place to enjoy the sunset above Chiang Mai is from a hot air balloon. Savor a glass of champagne, and this special journey begins. As the sun sets, you will float above the golden spires of the old city center of Chiang Mai and the distant waterfalls of Doi Inthanon National Park.
Hotel Information
Accommodation
The Mae Rim Valley is known as the 'Land of a Million Rice Fields,' and the Four Seasons Resort reflects this in every aspect. Wherever you are within the resort, you overlook rice fields as far as the eye can see, sometimes even directly in front of your terrace. In every season, the rice fields form a picturesque landscape, from charming small stalks planted in neat rows, to proud stalks heavily laden with rice grains, and then the pools of water reflecting the radiant sun.
Immerse yourself in the rhythm of plantation life. Relax on the swing in the Thai sala while enjoying the luxury surrounding you, with tropical gardens, rice fields, and ponds. The 98 spacious accommodations are stylishly decorated with silk, teak, exquisite Siamese artifacts, and original paintings. Tranquility, space, and privacy are the main themes, luxuriously appointed as expected. Refined service complements it all. The Private Retreats are the ultimate choice if you wish to retreat completely into a private domain with your companions.
