In northern Thailand at the heart of the Golden Triangle, Anantara’s natural retreat is spread over 160 acres of bamboo forest, rice paddy fields and magnificent Bill Bensley grounds. Perched on a hilltop and designed in royal Thai Lanna style, 58 rooms and 19 suites overlook the tri-cultural landscapes of Thailand, Myanmar and Laos, as well as the Mekong and Ruak rivers. Facilities include a fitness centre, squash and tennis courts, a breathtaking infinity pool, business centre and elegant meeting rooms. Three restaurants and bars present distinctive northern Thai specialties and fine international cuisine with exceptional views. Signature experiences include Anantara Spa journeys, unforgettable adventures at the on-site Elephant Camp and Thai culinary classes at Anantara’s Lanna cooking school. Guests can discover age-old river life by traditional longtail boat, take a three country tour in one day, visit the Opium Museum opposite and the ancient Lanna capital just ten minutes away.

Anantara presents indigenous and world flavours at three signature restaurants and bars. Sala Mae Nam’s terrace overlooks rolling countryside and elephants in the distance, with international breakfast buffets followed by Thai lunch and dinner menus featuring traditional northern specialties. The contemporary setting of Baan Dhalia reveals Mekong Valley views, and serves Italian and Mediterranean dinners complemented by an extensive wine cellar. The Elephant Bar and Opium Terrace provides light snacks and hearty international dishes on a poolside patio, while by night this cosy colonial meeting place invites guests to swap adventure stories over their favourite tipple by a roaring fire. For the ultimate in personalised romance, Dining by Design offers tailor made menus to be shared in a private hilltop sala at sunset, at a candlelit table overlooking the Mekong, in a secluded rice paddy, or in the bamboo forest with baby elephant companions, enhanced by personal butler service.

Anantara offers a range of organised and independent resort activities that make no two days the same. Set out on a morning bike ride to Sai Thung reservoir or enjoy an al fresco yoga class inspired by countryside views. Laze in the infinity pool and Jacuzzi, overlooking the Mekong, Myanmar and Laos. Make good use of the gym, spa, steam and sauna, tennis and squash courts. Go bird watching, nature walking or jogging in 160 acres of gardens and forest. Contribute to Anantara’s conservation work with a native tree planting activity. Master the art of northern Thai cuisine at Anantara’s Lanna cooking school, including a local market trip to pick up the freshest indigenous ingredients. Head to the on-site Elephant Camp for unforgettable adventures. Traverse bamboo trails atop a graceful elephant. Observe the playful behaviour of our herd’s rescued babies and learn about our scientific research projects. Or learn the Thai commands to drive your own gentle giant in a mahout training course.

At Anantara Spa, holistic experiences capture the beauty of three countries with views of Anantara's Thai gardens, Myanmar’s green valley and Laotian hills, as well as the Mekong River. Guests can soak in a terrazzo bathtub on a private terrace. Five luxurious teak wood suites each feature a private shower, steam room, Thai massage platform and outdoor deck. Treatments incorporate Asia’s ancient wellness wisdom, indigenous secrets and natural elixirs. For instance plai, known as “poo loey” in northern Thailand, is a ginger species revered to cool inflammation, ease digestion, combat joint and muscle aches, treat respiratory conditions, calm, cleanse and nourish skin. In the signature Lanna Experience journey, this healing ingredient is infused in a three stage scrub, wrap and massage. While age-old techniques include a Traditional Thai Massage, renowned as ‘passive yoga’ since it offers the ultimate body workout with a wealth of stretching, flexibility and vitality benefits.
