Find a Unique and Fascinating Villa in Chiang Mai

So, you have decided to go on a holiday in Chiang Mai, and now it’s time to look for a villa. Here are some pointers to keep in mind.

• Location plays a huge role in your experience. Many of the upscale villas in Chiang Mai are tucked away in the lovely Mae Rim area, a few minutes from the city center. This location puts you close to all the attractions but away from the noise.
• Check reviews online. You can always refer to hotel reviews and ratings to get a picture of what kind of facilities and services you should expect. This is why it certainly pays to book a

luxurious villa rental in Chiang Mai that has excellent ratings from actual customers in websites such as TripAdvisor, Agoda, and Booking.com. Don’t rely on the villas’ official website alone. It pays to read the reviews written by people who have actually experienced staying there.

• When choosing a luxurious villa to book in Chiang Mai, you can’t go wrong with those that have been featured in prestigious magazines, like Architectural Digest. Not only are the villas themselves beautiful—so are the gardens, the pool, and the views. Look for a property that was designed by world-renowned designers like Bill Bensley.
• Do they offer an all-inclusive stay? Arriving late in the evening when all shops have gone lights off usually means having to sleep hungry. You don’t want to wake up in the morning without breakfast ready. For a truly relaxed stay, book a villa that offers complimentary breakfast, lunch, and dinner cooked by an excellent chef just for you.
• Choose a villa where you and your party will be the ONLY guests, especially if privacy is important for you. Some of the best villas in Chiang Mai cater only to one group or guest at a time, so you have the full attention of the staff. Forget about a schedule—there is no such thing. Wake up and have breakfast when you want. Use the pool any time. Go on day trips to exotic location, and then come back to your beautiful private villa. Now that’s the height of luxury.
• Service is everything. To ensure a full villa experience, look for a facility that offers personalized services. Some will be run by the owners who will take care of you and your family during your entire stay, arrange your itinerary, and make any little extras you need available to you.
