Staying at this tented resort has been one of the most amazing experiences we’ve ever had. Everything here is incredibly well thought out, from the stunningly designed accommodations to the impeccable hospitality. The rooms are beautifully decorated with tasteful furniture, creating a luxurious yet cozy atmosphere. The beds are extremely comfortable, and every detail, from the amenities to the overall design, has been crafted to perfection. The quality of the tents is exceptional—completely secure and well-sealed, meaning we didn’t encounter a single insect inside. What really sets this place apart, however, is the staff. We have never been welcomed with such warmth and genuine friendliness. They went above and beyond to make our stay perfect, always ready to assist with any request. Their attention to detail, especially regarding food allergies, was remarkable—they really walked the extra mile to ensure we had safe and delicious meals. The team was always cheerful, smiling, and incredibly kind to our baby, making us feel like part of a family rather than just guests. The resort offers a variety of activities, making it an ideal place for nature lovers and adventurers. There are multiple guided hikes where a knowledgeable staff member accompanies you, sharing insights about the surrounding villages, mountains, rice fields, and local traditions. It’s an immersive experience, far from anything overly touristy. This place feels like a sanctuary—peaceful, authentic, and deeply connected to nature. The food is outstanding—healthy, fresh, and mostly organic. Many of the ingredients are homegrown, including the salads and spices, adding an extra touch of authenticity to every meal. In the evenings, the open-air cinema with a bonfire creates a magical atmosphere. This resort is a hidden paradise, and we cannot wait to return.

I was very impressed with this stay as I got best deal as to upgrade to bigger Villa which accommodate 3 people to stay. The Villa was very big and well equipped with things like Android TV, Microwave, Fridge and Cattle. The bed was so comfy and bathroom was so big, nice and clean. The highlight was breakfast which I have to travel just a bit up to the hill to Katiliya Mountain Resort and Spa, the BF was amazing which there is full of food in the buffet line. So that I will come back here again next year.

Simon, the host is perfect! Very helpful and interesting to talk to. His house is very special. Nice, clean and in the middle of nature! We had a lovely time.

This small hotel feels like home in a big, beautiful garden. The room was very spacious, with a big covered terrace with magnificent views. The bathroom was very clean. We enjoyed the infinity pool at the sunset. There are many cozy corners where you can rest, read, have a drink… all is very beautifully designed and stylish. We also enjoyed the dinners at a pond or on a portico. The hotel organised great trips for us with a driver. The coffee plantations and coffee villages. The spa massages were very healing…. End everybody is soooo kind and smiling. We loved the place

This is a place you want to return to. Large and luxurious rooms, excellent service, delicious meals. Very suitable for nature lovers. I am already planning my next visit to Thailand and to this hotel.

Bura Resort is an absolute slice of paradise, attuned to nature and attuned to Guests. Hosts Jazz & Nui have created something very special, with beautifully-crafted private Villas privately spread around the meandering, magnificent, quiet waterfall property. Birdsong and joy and pleasantness every moment, everywhere you look! On the practical side: I was in Villa A2 which featured a deep bathtub in the large bathroom in addition to the amazing rainshower; a large desk perfect for the needs of my work-while-travelling; lovely comfortable lounge area; big bed; useful amenities; and a gorgeous patio beside the water. The daily Housekeeping was thorough. The on-site restaurant offers a broad menu for foreigners and Thai's, with choice of fabulous dining room or in-room dining options. Hosts Jazz & Nui provided a free shuttle when asked to the closest daily food market, and to a Tuesday night food market bazaar. They were also happy to help me get to the chilled city area too, at the same cost as a typical Thai taxi app. Airport pick-up and drop-off was hassle-free. There's authentic street-food a short walk downhill, and a café with heavenly views just uphill. I live in Bangkok full-time, and Bura Resort in Chiang Rai is my new escape! Can't wait to return. Very highly recommended.

Simplicity. Garden. Lifestyle. The hosts. Proximity to a creek, rice fields, fish ponds, stunning view of the Sleeping Beauty (Nang Norn) mountain skyline. Hospitality. Pancake breakfast with fruits was great. Nice coffee (paid). Evening bar with simple Thai dishes. Inexpensive.
