The pure nature lovers choice and conversely not the right option for those wishing to be situated in the heart of the city. The boutique Belle Villa Resort Chiang Mai is rurally located in Hang Dong about 35 minutes drive from Chiang Mai International Airport and Chiang Mai town.

One can certainly feel the serenity as you drive up the winding road leading to the Belle Villa Resort over 650 meters above sea level. But, what’s the consequence of this aside from the chilly climate during the winter months? However magnificent the seclusion is, you are quite literally in the middle of nowhere so make sure you bare this in mind!

If you wish to get away from the resort, for example to the town – a joint mini-bus, private van or limo can be arranged by the Belle Villa Resort staff, but with a fairly sizeable transfer charge (but, not necessarily in euro or dollar terms) unless you manage to catch the daily free shuttle service provided by the resort. Alternatively, the most effective solution for complete independence is to rent your own transport at the airport.

Nevertheless, this is certainly not essential and for those seeking a perfect natural escape completely removed from the noise, pace and pressures of city life, the Belle Villa Chiang Mai is the retreat for you. Also beneficial, the resorts location out of town makes it a great base in which to visit the areas many hilltribes, elephant camps, temples and waterfalls of the surrounding area, all of which can be organized or assisted by the resorts helpful staff.
