ML Vitaya Chakrabandhu, owner and developer of Katiliya Mountain Resort and Spa, who has spent more than 28 years in Atlanta, U.S.A., developing luxurious real estate communities says, "Chiang Rai is one of Thailand's last frontiers. While other beach and island destinations around Thailand are being developed massively, Chiang Rai is revered as an all-natural, environmentally preserved province. Here, you can find bliss, harmony and peace, and we have built a resort that will allow you to experience that. We incorporated natural elements of teak wood and bamboo in the construction of each villa matched with natural stones, local hardwood timber and red earth finishing. The result is a relaxing ambience that embraces its natural surroundings. This resort is just what this province needs, a place where one can experience culture and nature and, at the same time, feel completely at home."
Katiliya also offers The Spa on the Lake which pampers guests with distinctive Northern Thai spa rituals with views of two mountain lakes. The Katiliya Wellness Program gently purifies the body with signature spa treatments, yoga sessions opening ones meridian lines and letting the Chi energy flow. There is also a Fitness Centre with splendid views of the surroundings. Katiliya's unique in-resort dining experience is centred on the great outdoors. There is fine cuisine in the crisp open air at The Verandah. Then, there is the Baan Thai set amongst the trees and overlooking an amazing vista, and the food captures the essence of Northern Thai culture and cuisine. At The Pool Bar, guests can bask in the sun and sip cool refreshments throughout the day. After sundown, The Fireplace Bar is the place to relax and enjoy exotic cocktails and drinks.
