Xishuangbanna
Nestled along a sweeping curve of the Luosuo River, the resort is a tropical sanctuary that blends contemporary luxury with the traditional aesthetics of the Dai people. It serves as an elegant gateway to China’s only tropical rainforest, offering a sophisticated retreat defined by water features, lush gardens, and a deep connection to the indigenous culture of southern Yunnan.
Highlights

Traditional Dai Architecture: The property is designed as a series of low-rise pavilions and private villas, featuring intricate wood carvings and tiered roofs that pay homage to local ethnic heritage and Southeast Asian influences.
Riverfront Privacy: Most of the 103 rooms and pool villas offer expansive views of the Luosuo River or the surrounding rainforest, providing a level of seclusion rarely found in the region.
Indigenous Wellness: The Anantara Spa utilizes ancient "healing wisdom" from the Dai, Thai, and Hani people, offering treatments that use hyper-local herbs and traditional massage techniques.
