A THREE-NIGHT STAY AT FOUR SEASONS RESORT CHIANG MAI

Nestled amid the rice fields of the Mae Rim Valley, Four Seasons Resort Chiang Mai makes for a serene respite in northern Thailand. The 12-hectare property’s graceful Lanna-style pavilions, villas, and residences overlook tropical gardens and rice paddies, immersing guests in the rhythms of the Chiang Mai countryside. Dining options include Khao, where the flavors of Myanmar, Yunnan, and Thailand come together for a singular culinary experience; and North, which specializes in meat and seafood cooked in a wood-fired pit. Elsewhere on-site, Chaan Baan is a re-creation of a farmer’s terrace that offers a hands-on introduction to local agricultural and craft traditions, while the Wara Cheewa Spa is a haven for bodybalancing therapies, yoga, and even muay thai boxing. The prize is for a three-night stay in a Garden Pavilion, inclusive of daily breakfast for two.
