Four Seasons Resort Chiang Mai Retains Michelin 3 Keys Thailand Award for 2025
The pride of Northern Thailand continues its legacy of excellence with top recognition for wellness, culture, and heartfelt hospitality
Ushering in the festive season with good tiding, Four Seasons Resort Chiang Mai retains top honours at the recently announced Michelin 3 Keys Award 2025. “We are truly humbled to receive the prestigious Michelin 3 keys award yet again,” beams Sean Mosher, General Manager, Four Seasons Resort Chiang Mai and Tented Camp Golden Triangle. “This award is a true testament of the team’s consistency, dedication, and excellence in hospitality that guests cherish when they stay with us.”
A Sanctuary of Wellbeing in Northern Thailand
Cradled in lush paddies with the misty peak of Doi Suthep as the backdrop, healing and wellbeing come naturally here. At this calming countryside setting, guests can immerse themselves in comprehensive rituals designed to address all aspects of their wellbeing – physical, mental, and spiritual. An inspiration for the entire team, the programs are keenly focused on providing guests with an insight into making simple choices to live a balanced life. “Our programs are designed based on guest feedback,” insists Anthony Tschudin, Resort Manager, referring to the spa and cultural activities.
Embracing the Art of Slow Living
Taking on the common themes of stressful daily routines and a lack of restful sleep, the thoughtfully curated programs encourage guests to embrace a slower pace and engage with the healing powers within. Whether it is immersive sessions of Pottery, Saa Paper Making or Tie & Dye at the Chaan Baan, a pampering ritual at the award-winning Wara Cheewa Spa, an in-house Sound Healing therapy or a half day Soulful Awakening program, the experiences align selfcare practices with circadian rhythm to promote a harmonious balance in daily lives. On the spiritual plane of holistic wellbeing, the resort has created a strong bond with the monks from the local Wat Pa Darapirom temple to help complete the journey. Through a casual conversation, guests may engage with the monk on simple topics or more impactful Buddhist philosophies including life lived in balance. “Meditation is core aspect of Buddhist practice, and guests may request the monk to teach them some simple chanting and breathing techniques to help achieve lasting wellbeing,” says Anthony.
Food for the Soul: Mindful Dining in Chiang Mai
Complementing the programs, the culinary team is proud to incorporate fresh seasonal ingredients at the restaurants, reflecting the resort’s efforts towards healthy eating practices. “With the health-conscious traveller seeking new and varied experiences, the benefits of Thai cuisine's low oil and fats, but rich in fresh herbs and fruits, are obvious,” feels Anthony. “The unique combination of sweet, sour, spicy and savoury makes Thai food especially attractive.” Guests can discover their preferred balanced plate, where Thai heritage meets international flair. At the Michelin-recognised Khao by Four Seasons, guests can savour Northern Thai flair with a generous helping of regional flair. At North by Four Seasons, the central fire pit breathes elegantly, as global dishes are the highlight, each crafted with fine ingredients. Guests can enjoy their mornings with views of rice paddies and mountains or unwind in the cozy atmosphere of Ratree Bar. At Chiang Mai’s premier cooking school – Rim Tai Kitchen – guests can learn about mindful cooking using the freshest of ingredients picked from the chef’s garden and enjoy the meal they have prepared.
The Art of Balance: Inspired by the Thai Way of Life
At the resort, kids are not an afterthought. Reflecting the culture and tradition, the Kids For All Seasons daily programs are highlighted by fun and frolic for both teenagers and young children. From exploring tropical fauna and umbrella painting to cooking lessons and pottery, children have plenty to keep themselves occupied while learning Thailand's vibrant culture and crafts.
With its unparalleled wealth of natural beauty and creative vision, the resort is an easy choice for guests seeking a transformational experience. “By vacationing with us, we would like our guests to be able to immerse in the unique aspect of a balanced lifestyle – one that the Thai people are renowned for,” smiles Sean. “This art has been perfected over years of mindful practice, and is best explained by our very own team of wellness experts.”
