Mandarin Oriental Dhara Dhevi | $$$$$
Great Spa, Honeymoon, Luxury
Mandarin Oriental Dhara Dhevi is spread over 60 acres of stunning natural landscapes, incorporating lush verdant paddy fields and exotic plantations. It offers a self contained world of beauty, wellness and a cultural museum dedicated to the Lanna kingdom. It is located just a 10 minute drive from the famous night market but feels like you are a million miles away such is the peace and tranquillity surrounding you.
The design of the suites, villas and residences is a visual journey through the history of the Lanna region, from the glory of northern Thailand to the influences of neighbouring Myanmar, China and Laos and the introduction of colonial architecture.
Guests are offered the choice of private two-floor villas, colonial-style suites or the grandeur of the Residences. All of the spacious suites and villas have separate sitting areas and generously proportioned bathrooms and some villas feature private outdoor plunge pools. The resort is divided in to two parts, one with the colonial villas built in a more traditional hotel style and the villas, each set in its own secluded garden.
