The spacious rooms, one-and-two-bedroom pool residences and a four-bedroom teak villa with a private swimming pool merge traditional Thai design with a soothing palate of natural hues, sophisticated furnishings and tech-savvy facilities. The four-bedroom Teak Villa is made from antique golden teak that was collected by the owner before being restored and carefully reassembled into a new structure that welcomes groups of family and friends to enjoy a traditional Thai living experience with modern comforts.

Aleenta, which means ‘a rewarding life’, has served as the hotel collection’s manifesto since its launch in 2006 with the inaugural Aleenta Hua Hin Resort & Spa, and subsequent addition of Aleenta Phuket Phang Nga Resort & Spa. Each resort is anchored upon spacious accommodations, premium design, exceptional F&B, first-class facilities, holistic retreat programmes and a long-term commitment to sustainability. As the first hotel group in Thailand to go single-use plastic free in 2018, Aleenta Retreat Chiang Mai continues this commitment to responsible hospitality. The resort was designed from reclaimed wood as a low-rise property, built to protect the local eco-system, topography and maximise natural features. There are many initiatives in place to source locally, recycle, conserve freshwater supplies, reduce their use of carbon based electricity and engage with the community. Aleenta continues to seek and develop ways to further improve and support the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals across the brand.

The launch of Aleenta Retreat Chiang Mai is spearheaded by Swiss-born Resort Manager, Thomas Singenberger, formerly at akyra TAS Sukhumvit and Okura Prestige Bangkok. The resort opened on 6th April 2023 and is a member of The Leading Hotels of the World.

Rates start from £182 per night for a Deluxe Balcony Room, from £275 for a One Bedroom Pool Residence, from £420 for a Two Bedroom Pool Residence, and from £930 for the Four Bedroom Golden Teak Villa.
