Already world-renowned as a sanctuary of wellbeing, Four Seasons Resort Chiang Mai widens the scope with their newly opened Wara Cheewa Spa. Drawing on the intrinsic Northern Thai wisdom of a “life lived in balance”, the spa team here have created a unique journey of well-being. With a name that translates as “a celebration of the gift of life”, the spa endeavours to unite cultural elements, turning them into transformational experiences that bring body, mind and soul into harmony.

Guests are taken back to the fundamental elements of wellness during their spa visit, by drawing on their intuition to choose therapies that best resonate in the present moment. The extensive treatment menu is crafted around the four key pillars of well-being – physical, emotional, social, and nutritive – offering a diverse range of massages, scrubs, and facials.

Under the Physical pillar, guests are invited to plant their feet firmly on the Earth with a grounding collection of body-balancing treatments that restore stabilising energy. At the same time, Mother Earth’s abundant gifts will heal you on all levels. The Social pillar combines local ingredients and ancestral knowledge, inspiring a personal and cultural connection, with therapies that allow you to shift your focus from where you’ve been to where you are right now. The Emotional pillar menu, meanwhile, focuses on self-care and invites guests to reconnect with the peace and poise that comes from the feeling of oneness. By contrast, the Nutritive pillar menu inspires guests to take the time to revitalise and rejuvenate their inner well of healing, with nutrient-rich treatments that restore from the outside in.

To help fully achieve their wellness goals, guests can choose from two-, four-, and seven-night programmes. These include dietary recommendations, guidance from wellness experts, and other holistic experiences designed to nourish the mind, body and spirit.
