What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
Also in Wallpaper*.
The resort is set on a piece of land that looks like a watercolor painting: all lush greenery, water lilies floating on ponds…
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Set at the foot of Taoism's birthplace, the resort sits twenty minutes from giant panda habitats in Dujiangyan.
The rooms
Suites and villas feature exposed timber beams, Chinese antique accents, and private verandas with daybeds framing misty forest views.
The plunge pools
Bring a swimsuit.
Courtyard villas have their own illuminated plunge pools, set beside timber verandas for secluded evening swims.
The spa
Lanterns line water walkways leading to ten treatment suites, where therapies draw on Traditional Chinese Medicine and acupuncture.
Gym, tennis and yoga
A circular timber yoga studio and outdoor tennis courts sit alongside a gym opening directly onto bamboo gardens.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Sala Thai serves dinner on a rooftop pavilion facing the peaks, and the Moon Bar mixes cocktails under a starlight ceiling.
How it began

Debuting in 2015 as the brand's first outpost in China, the retreat was conceived by Thai firm Habita as an ancient settlement.
