UNWINDING IN LUXURY, THAI-STYLE
The charms of Thailand are apparent at every turn in the country’s Four Seasons resorts.
Guests who stay at the Four Seasons in Chiang Mai, Koh Samui, or the Golden Triangle are guaranteed an experience that is both unforgettable and deeply rooted in its locale. Set amid a lush landscape of rice paddies in the tranquil Mae Rim Valley, Four Seasons
Resort Chiang Mai is distinguished by its location and Lanna-style architecture, with rooms that boast their own private verandah or relaxation pavilion. The property has just launched mychiangmai.fourseasons.com, a website that brings together all the wellness experiences available, allowing guests to embark on a tailor-made journey toward renewal. Gourmands should make a beeline to Khao, an all-day dining venue that finds its inspiration in Thailand’s long-standing love affair with rice. Over in the Gulf of Thailand, Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui is an idyllic playground for those who love the outdoors. Villas here come with private pools that offer endless ocean views, while beachside bar CoCoRum recently added the Rum Vault, a tasting room stocked with rare artisanal spirits. Guests can also join in-house coral conservation projects to protect the riches of the surrounding waters. Four Seasons’ resorts in Chiang Mai and Koh Samui both offer two- to fivebedroom Residences with fully equipped kitchenettes, an ideal choice for traveling families and groups of friends. Expect the privacy of a vacation rental, full access to resort facilities, and a raft of benefits including 24-hour private butler service. Hidden in a bamboo forest near the border with Laos and Myanmar, Four Seasons Tented Camp Golden Triangle cocoons its guests in luxury tents, offering a balance of nature and culture, adventure and relaxation. Its safari-style Explorer’s Lodge, created especially for families and friends, is a twobedroom refuge with a spacious deck and outdoor pool. Reconnecting with nature is a consistent theme at all Four Seasons spas in Thailand. The Tented Camp’s Ruak Bamboo experience, a full-body massage inspired by the surrounding forest, uses natural bamboo sticks and local herbal oils to great effect. In Chiang Mai, the Royal Lanna Signature Treatment incorporates sacred flowers such as the Chulalongkorn rose, jasmine, and ylang-ylang into a floral scrub, while Koh Samui’s Kala Coconut Massage pampers guests with smoothly finished coconut shell halves and virgin coconut oil made exclusively for the resort.
