Chiang Mai, Thailand

Raya Heritage

A serene riverside retreat inspired by Northern Thai traditions

Where timeless heritage flows with quiet luxury

Tucked along the peaceful banks of the Ping River, Raya Heritage offers a unique escape that draws deep inspiration from the ancient Lanna culture of Northern Thailand. This intimate all-suite resort blends minimalist design with artisanal craftsmanship, creating a sanctuary of calm and cultural resonance just outside Chiang Mai’s city center.

With only 33 spacious suites, the resort feels more like a private residence than a hotel. Each suite is adorned with handwoven textiles, locally sourced woodwork, and curated antiques, thoughtfully designed to reflect the rhythm and spirit of Northern Thai living. Private terraces and daybeds open out to lush gardens or river views, inviting moments of stillness and connection with nature.

Dining at Raya Heritage is a celebration of locality and seasonality. Khu Khao Restaurant presents a menu rooted in regional ingredients and traditions, reinterpreted with refined simplicity. Him Gong, the resort’s lounge, offers handcrafted cocktails and light bites in a space echoing the charm of old-world Lanna homes.

Wellness here flows gently. The Aiwaan Spa incorporates indigenous herbs and ancient techniques into its therapies, while the serene riverside pool and airy fitness room offer quiet, grounding spaces for movement and meditation. Guests can also explore curated excursions, including village visits, textile workshops, and countryside cycling.

This place is the perfect for mindful travelers, couples, and creative souls seeking a soulful, design-forward retreat that honors tradition while embracing tranquility.

At Raya Heritage, every detail tells a story - of craftsmanship, of nature, and of timeless Northern Thai culture gently reimagined for the modern wanderer.
