Ban Sabai

Without hesitation, I’d give this place 100 ⭐️!!! I don’t even know where to begin. From the moment I arrived, I knew it was was different than anywhere that I had been previously. I was greeted at the airport by the owners, which was very comforting, upon arrival to a city where you’ve never been. And when I arrived at the resort, I was again, greeted by the staff. The setting is absolutely beautiful and serene. I chose the 7 day detox/cleanse package. Every day was perfectly planned out and well-organized, with plenty of the day left for personal time, as well. And each day there was a body work session, as part of the program. The meditation and yoga were just icing on the cake. I won’t divulge all the details, as to leave you with an element of surprise, but….WOW! I met all of the other guests at some point throughout the week, and every single one of them was equally as impressed as I. The staff was exceptionally courteous and attentive, and made me feel like royalty. And although I wasn’t consuming anything other than liquid for 6 days, when I was able to eat, I was highly impressed! I would like to make special mention of Joy. She was basically my personal assistant for the entire stay. Such a hard worker and light in this world (hence the name). “L” and Matthias, you TRULY have built something special here. 20 years of doing what you love, is something that not everyone has in this life. I have already recommended this gem to my friends and family, and will continue to do so. I’m leaving feeling refreshed and restored (and even a little lighter…haha). Khoob-khun🙏🏽

We stayed with Ban Sabai in June 2016. We spent one night here and the rest of our time at a hotel downtown. The view from our room was beautiful! We sat by the pool, ate at the restaurant, and got massages in the morning. The pool was very relaxing (there were only two other people staying at the same time as us), the food was fresh and delicious, and the massages were amazing! Customer service was also great. It wasn't the fanciest hotel we've ever stayed at, but was a great value for the reasonable cost. We wished we would have stayed two nights as this was probably the most relaxing part of our trip to Chiang Mai. The only thing I think could have been improved was more frequent pool cleanings. There were lots of bugs and debris in the pool. Part of this is due to the fact that there are such lush gardens around, so I say the trade off is worth it!

My husband and I we came especially on Ban Sabai Resort at the beginning of our holiday to relax and detox before continuing our journey in Laos. We have been there 4 years ago and we had such good memories that we decide to come back! Rooms are situated in the middle of the tropical forest with a refreshing swimming pool but at few km from Chang Mai historical centre. Food is really delicious and healthy. Managed directly by the owners, we had a course of Thai cuisine learning how to combine local ingredients with the one that we can find in Europe in order to reproduce them at home. We recommend also to book 2 hours massage with very professional personnel. Navette for the airport is for free and the owners also shown us some temples and || areas of the daily Thai life very special!! We strongly recommend Ban Sabai for a romantic and relaxing stay!

My husband and I just spent 6 days at the wonderful Ban Sabai Village and it definitely was a retreat. The owners treated us like family!! Yoga started at 7:15 after being delivered a warm healthy tea. The breakfasts were yummy, but the day just began. We had wonderful treatments such as Couples Massage, reflexology, Herbal massages, Salt and herb scrubs, facials (best facial I have ever had). We loved the steam herbal tent so much that the sweet owners went out and bought one for us with all the herbs and packaged it up for our trip back to the US. I have already hung it and used it. Love it. The lunches and dinners were so good, we did not want to go into the city. There is a free shuttle to the city which we used and Grab for the return back. Be sure and download the app Grab when you arrive in Thailand for we used it to go everywhere. They also arranged a car for our arrival and departure. Each day was more special than the previous one. We also enjoyed just resting by the pool and being away from the hustle and bustle of the busy city. We will definitely return with friends for a retreat!!!!

We, my partner and I, arrived late in the evening in Chiang Mai after a looong flight from Sweden. The transfer to the hotel was pleasant and as we were going there we asked the driver if there was any place nearby the hotel we could eat, the driver called the owner of the hotel & she asked what we wanted for dinner. When we arrived she'd cooked for us herself & the staff were SO welcoming!! We felt so taken care of from a long flight, arriving late. This was our first impression of Ban Sabai and it ended with us staying there for a week and thereafter 3 whole weeks in Ban Sabai in Koh Samui! The environment and the vibe of Ban Sabai is calm, so much (!!) nature and truly relaxing. You'll feel like Home. The staff & Chitra (owner, see pic) treated us SO well, they always did the little extra and we sure REALLY appreciated it! So helpful, kind & service-minded. If you're after a calm, relaxing & quiet place to stay in Chiang Mai - I truly recommend Ban Sabai Village 👌🌟🍍

This resort is a one stop destination for anyone longing a vacation. With the best retreat facilities to an ambience that brings you close to your soul, this resort has everything one would need to give yourself a break from a regular stressful life. The rooms are spacious and has a certain quirky style to its interiors. This is a lovely family-run business with outstanding services. The entire property has the traditional "Thai" feel imbibed beautifully. The outdoor location of Ban Sabai village resort has a pool with lush green surrounds and I couldn't stop myself to sit here and paint. Close your eyes and you’ll hear the sound of flowing water, humming of birds and insects, rustling leaves and wind whispering through the bamboo trees. The Tropical village-inspired enclave has a rustic vibe that makes you feel like you just landed in a tropical garden. Thank you team @bansabai for the warm hospitality.

Ban Sabai was such a wonderful experience. We stayed one night but were able to make the most of it. I highly recommend the massages and the cooking class- both of which were top notch. The staff is so incredible, we truly felt like family. I would recommend Ban Sabai to everyone looking for a spa retreat in one of the most beautiful areas of Thailand.

If you are looking for the place that close to the nature. I would recommend this hidden place to stay in chiang mai. A place I can enjoy an atmosphere of tropical garden and non-toxic. Also the room was very clean, comfortable and the service was really wonderful and warm welcome from the staff. A spa course is also a must try! And yet, do not miss the healthy Thai cuisine. It was such a great long holiday vacation.
