Located on the banks of the Mae Ping River, Anantara Chiang Mai Resort opens doors to a world of discovery. Wander the ancient Lanna ruins and glittering temples for which the old city is known. Venture further, out into the cool mountains to visit artisan villages, hill tribes and tea plantations. Or float down the river in luxurious style with Anantara’s JAO Ping River Cruise.

Back at the resort, tranquil living awaits, with daily wellness activities, traditional Thai healing and IV drips at Anantara Spa, and immersions in the local culture with muay Thai and Spice Spoons cooking classes.

The dining, meanwhile, is unrivalled, centred around the magnificent 1921 House, formerly the British consulate and built over a century ago. Here, afternoon tea is served on the verandah each day, drinks in the secret service-inspired bar, and dinner in the sophisticated steakhouse and grill. Begin your day with international selections and live cooking stations for breakfast at our riverside restaurant, Bodhi Terrace. Ranked in the top 5 on TripAdvisor, guests can also indulge in authentic Thai cuisine from both the northern and southern regions of Thailand during lunch and dinner.
