Anantara Chiang Mai Resort is a 5-star riverside retreat along the banks of the Mae Ping River, blending minimalist Asian design with a serene spa and outdoor pool moments from Chiang Mai's historic old town. SHA Extra Plus Certified, the property places guests within a 10-minute walk of the Night Bazaar and close to landmarks such as Tha Pae Gate and Chiang Mai Gate, while Chiang Mai International Airport lies just 8 kilometres away — a practical anchor for travellers exploring northern Thailand. Rooms and suites are styled in muted tones with teak flooring and open onto private courtyards or balconies, offering a quiet counterpoint to the city beyond. Each accommodation includes a flat-screen cable TV, complimentary WiFi and a coffee machine, while en suite bathrooms feature rain showers — small but considered details suited to longer stays. Wellness sits at the heart of the experience. The spa, framed by scented gardens and water features, delivers massages, body treatments and sauna rooms, while a well-equipped fitness centre hosts yoga and aerobics classes. Curious guests can join a Thai cooking class through the resort's Spice Spoons programme, turning local ingredients into an immersive afternoon. Dining moves between heritage and modernity: The Restaurant showcases Northern Thai specialities alongside a relaxed bar, and Service 1921 Restaurant & Bar serves contemporary Asian-inspired dishes and cocktails — also the setting for Anantara's weekday afternoon tea ritual. Light bites and refreshing drinks are available throughout the day at The Lobby and Kasara Lounges. Ideal for couples, wellness travellers and culturally curious guests, Anantara Chiang Mai Resort offers a balanced base for discovering temples, markets and the surrounding Lanna countryside. Reserve your dates to settle into a calm riverside corner of Chiang Mai.
