Tamarind Village

Top choice in Chiang Mai


This refined, atmospheric Lanna-style property sprawls across the grounds of an old tamarind orchard in a prime location off Th Ratchadamnoen. Walkways covered by tiled pavilions lead to secluded and beautiful spaces, and tall mature trees cast gentle shade around the huge pool and gardens. Design-magazine-worthy rooms are full of gorgeous tribal fabrics and artefacts.

There's a babysitting service for children aged one year or older.

The Ruen Tamarind restaurant serves beautifully presented Thai dishes, and there's an opulent spa offering the full range of treatments.
