Mist drifts over Meiziwan lake as pathways wind between quiet courtyards, giving the hillside retreat the unhurried calm of rural Zhejiang.

Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
The hillside estate rests along Meiziwan lake, enveloped by tens of thousands of hectares of bamboo groves and quiet tea plantations.
The rooms
Freestanding villas and lake-facing rooms feature woven bamboo ceilings, private viewing decks, and deep soaking tubs framed by native stone.
Pool and Tai Chi
Bring a swimsuit.
A heated indoor lap pool looks across Meiziwan lake, and stone decks host morning Tai Chi above the water.
At the table
Dining rooms look out over misty bamboo groves, serving traditional Jiangnan recipes made with seasonal bamboo shoots and white tea.
How it began
Architects styled the estate after traditional Jiangnan water towns, integrating local timber, sackcloth patterns, and woven cane into modern hillside structures.
