Description

Four Seasons Resort Chiang Mai (โฟร์ซีซั่นส์ รีสอร์ท เชียงใหม่) is a five-star retreat on 32 acres of working rice paddies and landscaped gardens. Its design follows traditional Lanna architecture, set among terraced rice fields, lily ponds and natural streams, and local farmers still work the paddies with the resort's albino water buffaloes.

There are 98 pavilion-style suites plus private pool villas and multi-bedroom residences, all with terraces and outdoor living space.

Facilities include multi-level infinity pools overlooking the mountains and paddy terraces and the Wara Serene Spa, which focuses on Lanna wellness rituals. Restaurants include Khao (pan-Thai and northern Thai food) and North (grill and fire-cooked dishes), and the Rim Tai Kitchen runs Thai cooking classes.

Neighbourhood

The resort lies in the green, rural Mae Rim Valley on the scenic Samoeng Loop, surrounded by the forested foothills of Doi Suthep-Pui and farming villages. Attractions are a short drive away rather than on foot.

Famous landmarks nearby:

Bai Orchid and Butterfly Farm (about 5 minutes by car): orchid gardens and a butterfly enclosure.
Tita Gallery (nearby in Rim Tai): an art gallery among local artisan cafes.
Mae Sa Waterfall (about 10–12 minutes along Route 1096): a multi-tiered waterfall in the national park.
Queen Sirikit Botanic Garden (about 15–20 minutes): large botanic gardens with a canopy walkway.

Getting there

The resort is at 502 Moo 1, Mae Rim–Samoeng Old Road, Tambon Rim Tai, Mae Rim, Chiang Mai.

From Chiang Mai International Airport it is about 20–25 km, roughly 35–45 minutes by car, taxi or Grab. Drive north on Route 107 towards Mae Rim, then turn left onto Route 1096 (Mae Rim–Samoeng Old Road). The resort can arrange a private airport limousine.

So impressed! Brought my dog here for a relaxing getaway, and the resort had a pet bed, water bowl, and welcome treats ready in the room. The staff were lovely and so affectionate towards my dog. The spacious green areas and gardens surrounded by rice fields allowed my pup to run around and breathe in the fresh air to the fullest. The pet rules are friendly and clear. Highly recommended for pet lovers!

An excellent resort for a vacation with a cat. The staff welcomed us very warmly, immediately bringing water bowls and a comfortable pet bed to our villa. The grounds are huge and green, but the rules are strict: pets are not allowed in the pool area or the main restaurants. We had to leave our cat alone in the room when we went to have lunch. Other than that, the service is top-notch.

A beautiful place to walk with my dog. The gardens and rice fields are spectacular for walking. The staff was super friendly, they gave us bowls for water and food. The only bad thing is that the common areas where pets are allowed are limited, and we couldn't have breakfast together on the main terrace due to the hotel rules.
