Lan Na Wild

What is it? A countryside eco-stay out in the rolling Mae On hills, many have tried to open a ‘bungalow with a private outdoor bath-tub that looks out at the mountains’ resort but none have got it as right as this. It’s a real get-away-from-it-all retreat and an extremely serene place to unwind for a weekend.

Why we love it: The ‘tree-house’ villas and suites are rustic lux, most of which come with an en suite jacuzzi or pool to float around in after a roll around, but it’s the remoteness of this idyllic stay that really does it for us. Lan Na Wild is so secluded that you’re entirely catered for because there’s not much nearby – the staff bring your dinner to your room, so you don’t need to leave. Or wear much but your robe. Lovely.

Time Out tip: It’s the perfect stay to coincide with a morning in Mae Kampong, which is only 20 minutes drive away, so you can beat the day tripping crowds and have the village high street to yourselves.
