Rarinjinda Wellness Spa & Resort

We chose Rarinjinda Wellness Spa Resort for a relaxed short getaway to Chiang Mai as a surprise birthday trip, and it was an excellent choice. The resort has a distinctive rustic elegance — intimate rather than grand, yet thoughtfully equipped for a comfortable and refined stay. Its location is superb: steps from the Old City’s energy, yet wonderfully quiet and secluded. Our suite was spacious and beautifully designed, featuring a hydrotherapy bathtub that was perfect for unwinding after evenings at Chiang Mai’s night markets. The resort’s additional hydrotherapy pools and carbonated Onsen, heated to a soothing 39°C, elevated the wellness experience. On the day of my wife’s birthday, restaurant Deck One surprised us with a candle on the birthday cake! We especially enjoyed the private terrace daybed, bathed in soft autumn sunlight — an ideal spot to relax with a book or simply slow down. What truly sets Rarinjinda apart, however, is its exceptional service. After I accidentally left an AirPod behind, the team went far beyond expectations to ensure its return. The personal care and effort shown by the General Manager and his team reflect not just Thai hospitality, but the distinctive Rarinjinda standard of service. A memorable stay marked by comfort, wellness, and genuine warmth. Highly recommended.

Hands down one of the best hotels in Chiang Mai. Better Value and nicer than even the Marriott and Intercontinental. If you want something out of the way and a unique experience, make this hotel your first choice. Particularly the professionalism and service beyond our expectations provided by The General Manager Mr Meow (Yes Really!) and his team. Flawless service. Best Spa in Town (better than all others we visited) with Mango Sticky Rice provided at the end of each treatment. All products used are also exclusive to each individual - unlike other places where herbal compresses are reused.

Great hotel and very kind staff. We have stayed for 4 nights at Rarinjinda and absolutely loved it. It is a very quiet hotel and we used it to relax for a few days. The rooms are very clean, the hotel itself is quiet and has nice big pool. There is also a little gym with some basic equipment- cardio, dumbbells and maschines. You can use it for short workouts but for everything else you should use one of the great gyms in the city. The location is great, right next to the river and there are also plenty of food options in the neighborhood. You can also walk into the city. The hotel appears to be more suitable le families without kids.

Review of the spa, did not stay at the resort. Unfortunately very disappointed. The ambience and facility was nice, and they have some nice pre and post-treatment refreshments. But other than that, the treatment did not justify the considerably higher cost compared to many of its competitors. I got a 90 min Thai massage, and the masseur unfortunately felt inexperienced. Even after I asked for stronger pressure, it did not really feel good. My parents also had the elements of life package, which was also nothing to write home about. It’s also a red flag that it’s not part of their standard practice to ask us what kind of pressure we want, or any problem areas to focus on. The website/booking system is also really hard to navigate. It wasn’t a terrible experience, but for the price, we really did expect a lot more considering their competitors in the market.

Tried the 2-hour Thai massage promo for in house guests and I’m so glad I did—it was honestly the BEST massage I’ve ever had. The therapist was highly skilled, and the execution was spot on. Unlike a typical spa massage that just relaxes you, this one left me feeling refreshed and recharged. Breakfast is served across the road, with a friendly security guard helping guests cross safely by managing traffic. Even though my birthday had passed by two days, the team surprised me with a cake at breakfast. Such thoughtful hospitality and attention to detail—truly top tier! The only downside is the location. If you don’t mind not having 7-11, eateries or shop close by, this hotel is a great choice.

RarinJinda Spa in Chiang Mai was absolutely incredible — it felt like a true escape from the city. Breakfast at Deck One was over the top and such a highlight of our stay. Beautiful setting, delicious food, and excellent service. Everything about this experience felt thoughtful and luxurious without being stuffy. Highly recommend RarinJinda Spa if you’re looking for relaxation, comfort, and outstanding hospitality in Chiang Mai.

Returned to RarinJinda in October 25. Had stayed previously in. 2024 and loved it. They have a lovely selection for breakfast including fresh juices and great coffee. ||I stay here as love the aqua therapy pool, onsen and steam which I booked each day. Well worth the money . Used the spa services and they were excellent also for massage and sound therapy||The grounds are beautiful , especially at night and all staff are fantastic including the lovely security guard whom daily made sure you crossed the road for breakfast. He’s a lovely asset and makes your day with his cheerfulness. ||They also have a nightly shuttle that drops you off at night market each night .||Looking forward to returning on 2026.

Very happy here, great location, friendly and attentive staff, beautiful grounds and the room that went straight onto the pool was super fun for the sprog! I can see why some reviews say the breakfast could have been better but the stuff we ordered off the menu was really good (avocado toast etc) and the freshly prepared omelet’s were great. I always chose the Thai options (pork and sticky rice, dumplings etc) and have zero complaints as they were delicious. I did get one disappointing cocktail but maybe that was just a bad choice (the one with the bacon) Having said that this was still a great place to stay and we would definitely come back.
