Following the success of the existing Aleenta Resorts & Spas in Phuket and Hua Hin, AKARYN Hotel Group has announced that it will open its third property under the Aleenta Resort brand of luxury boutique resorts, Aleenta Chiang Mai Resort & Spa, in Q1 of 2023.

Offering 45 rooms, a swimming pool, bar and lounge area, restaurant, spa and wellness centre and a menu of tailor-made health and wellness programmes and retreats, the AKARYN Hotel Group maintains its dedication to providing premium experiences with the arrival of its latest property.

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. Committed to offering a five-star experience, Aleenta Resorts are anchored upon spacious suite accommodations, premium design, exceptional F&B, first-class facilities and holistic retreat programmes for ultimate wellness uniting the mind, body and spirit. Situated between the ancient city of Chiang Mai and the region’s lush countryside, Aleenta Chiang Mai will be geared towards the health-conscious traveller seeking the ultimate relaxation, holistic rebalancing and an authentic Thai hospitality experience.

Continuing to strive for excellence, the Aleenta Resort brand will welcome additional properties over the next few years, expanding beyond the borders of Thailand.”

Offering an intimate 44 rooms only, Aleenta Chiang Mai will boast a combination of 32 spacious hotel rooms all with private terraces, and one-and-two-bedroom pool villas. The highlight of the hotel is a four-bedroom teak wood villa, made from antique golden teak that was collected by the owner, restored, and carefully reassembled into a new structure, inviting guests for a traditional Thai living experience finished with contemporary comforts and a private swimming pool. Tastefully merging traditional Thai design with tech-savvy, modern facilities, each villa will be crafted from recovered, traditional teak wood, manifesting a sustainable design concept whilst celebrating the essence of rejuvenation. With a clean and contemporary aesthetic, the facade of the hotel will marry well with the state-of-the-art facilities and amenities, and when it comes to the hotel’s interiors, guests can expect to be welcomed by a soothing palette of neutral hues, natural materials and sophisticated furnishings for an atmosphere that encourages the ultimate tranquillity.
