The Mandarin Oriental Dhara Dhevi Pictures & Facilities

:: Welcome to Mandarin Oriental Dhara Dhevi, Chiangmai ::

Spread over 60 acres of serene, natural landscapes, incorporating picturesque rice paddies, tropical hardwoods and exotic plantations lies Mandarin Oriental Dhara Dhevi, Chiang Mai. Dhara Dhevi comes from the Sanskrit words meaning “Star Goddess”, epitomizing romance, mystique and legendary beauty, the same qualities found at the resort.
The Resort’s design draws from authentic Lanna structures - found across Northern Thailand, South China, Laos and Myanmar - and colonial splendor. Traditional wooden rice barns, ornate temple-like structures and magnificent colonial mansions have been erected in clusters, providing luxury accommodation, restaurants and recreational areas. The result is a beautiful and richly restored heritage, creating an ambience of serenity.
