Rissai Valley Ritz Carlton Reserve
2023
Jiuzhai Valley
Rissai Valley, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, was built in 2023 and stands as the first Reserve-tier property in China. Located in the hidden Zhongcha Valley of Jiuzhaigou, this all-villa sanctuary was designed by the late architectural legend Jaya Ibrahim to serve as a contemporary homage to traditional Tibetan village life.
Highlights
UNESCO World Heritage Gateway: Located just minutes from Jiuzhaigou National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site and World Biosphere Reserve renowned for its multi-level waterfalls and iridescent "jewel" lakes.
Exclusive Villa Living: Each of the 87 standalone villas features floor-to-ceiling windows and private terraces, providing panoramic views of the Minshan mountain range and ancient Tibetan hamlets.
Personalized "Nieba" Service: Every guest is paired with a dedicated personal host—a Nieba—who provides intuitive, 24-hour service and curates bespoke local itineraries.
Tibetan Wellness & Rituals: The Rissai Spa integrates ancient healing modalities, offering unique experiences like singing bowl sound therapy, waterfall yoga, and treatments based on Tibetan herbal wisdom.
Immersive Cultural Design: The resort’s architecture follows the motif of the "endless Tibetan knot," housing museum-grade local art and hosting authentic Zhaxi Dele blessing ceremonies for arriving guests.
