Anantara Vacation Club is putting the final touches on the new Anantara Vacation Club Chiang Mai, a boutique collection of luxury suites in the heart of this enchanting city.  With a scheduled opening for early 2016, Anantara Vacation Club Chiang Mai offers Club Owners the opportunity to discover the serene beauty and unique charm of northern Thailand from the elegant comfort and convenience of a fully-serviced suite.

Perfectly located in the midst of the city, directly across from the Anantara Chiang Mai Resort & Spa, the new Anantara Vacation Club Chiang Mai property offers one-, two-, and three-bedroom serviced suites.  The new suites introduce a contemporary urban lifestyle alongside the understated elegance and charm that is Chiang Mai.  Unrivaled leisure amenities include a beautiful rooftop swimming pool with views of the neighborhood and the Mae Ping River. Owners will also enjoy access to the services and amenities at the Anantara Chiang Mai Resort & Spa, including a state-of-the-art fitness center, sumptuous Asian and international dining, the award-winning Anantara Spa and the opportunity to enjoy the resort’s delightful Afternoon and High Tea rituals.

Anantara Vacation Club Chiang Mai is ideally situated in one of the city’s most prestigious and coveted neighborhoods.  Owners and their guests are just a stroll away from the popular outdoor markets, riverside boutiques, Night Bazaar and the traditional old city with its exquisite temples.

“We are excited to introduce our first and newest luxury hideaway in Northern Thailand!  We’re designing the suites to reflect Chiang Mai’s diverse culture while delivering a distinct Anantara experience and expanding on the multiple vacation options already available for our club owners,” said Martin Tolan, Chief Operating Officer of Anantara Vacation Club.”

Each suite features a sophisticated mix of natural materials and beautifully refined finishes that promote a soothing and effortless lifestyle.  All suites include generous, light-filled living areas with floor-to-ceiling windows and luxurious en-suite bathrooms that open onto the master bedroom. All of the suites offer fully-equipped kitchens and spacious dining areas.

Perfectly complementing the collection of exotic beach, urban and jungle retreats, Chiang Mai is renowned for its diverse and unique appeals, which can now be experienced through Anantara’s journeys of rich discovery and indulgent sense of riverside tranquillity.

Chiang Mai is Thailand’s second largest city and the capital of the north, blending cosmopolitan city elements, ancient ruins and thriving traditions with a surrounding topography of verdant mountains, lush jungle and spectacular national parks.
