Where to Look for a Popular Relaxation Spa in Chiang Mai

Posted by Lana Thai Villa on January 25th, 2017

Chiang Mai is known for its world-class spas and health centers, but sometimes you have to look outside the city center to find one that is truly peaceful and relaxing. The Mae Rim Valley (which is just a short drive from the busy city center) is home to a popular relaxation spa in Chiang Mai, which is actually located within the premises of a five-star resort. You’ll immediately see why it’s among the best in Thailand the moment you walk in. From the facilities to the unique treatments, everything is truly world-class. You know you have arrived in an indulgent sanctuary designed for your well-being and pleasure. 

The treatments offered in this popular relaxation spa in Chiang Mai are based on traditional Thai customs providing balance not only for your body but also your mind and spirit. Locally grown organic herbs are used, and they are combined with aromatic oils that were also produced using ancient rural methods. 

There are several treatment suites in the premises, each one completely private and equipped with outdoor showers, outdoor soaking tubs, and private herbal steam rooms. Some rooms even have tropical rain shower massage tables. There is a beauty salon in the spa where you can get a manicure and pedicure, a head massage or a Thai hair wash.  There are so many ways to revitalize, relax, and re-energize.

If you don’t quite know what kind of treatment you want to experience, don’t worry—spa specialists can help you choose the type of massage, facial or body treatment that is most beneficial for your needs. This level of personal service and attention to detail is hard to get from ordinary spas in Chiang Mai. 

This popular relaxation spa in Chiang Mai also offers access to a health retreat, with facilities such as an infinity swimming pool, plunge pool, heated outdoor whirlpools, a state of the art gym, and a Thai herbal steam room—all within one gorgeously landscaped estate. And if you want to practice yoga, there is a resident yogi who can give you private instruction (although regular classes are also available). 

Looking to do something active after your spa experience? Hop on a complimentary mountain bike and take on the local trails. You can also enjoy a game of tennis and even call on the resident tennis coach if you need help. A popular relaxation spa in Chiang Mai truly has everything you need for a healthy and relaxing break.
