The award-winning X2 resorts chain recently opened their third private villa in Chiang Mai. Situated right in the heart of Thailand’s northern city it looks a good option for those seeking a home-from-home on their next trip. Following the chain’s modern minimalist design aesthetic, the X2 Chiang Mai–South Gate Villa features six bedrooms spread across three units housed within a walled tropical garden. Other facilities include a pool, sunbeds, a games room and fully stocked kitchen and dining room. This exclusive villa is located right beside the South Gate entrance to the old city and is within walking distance of many of the city’s unique temples which feature Burmese, Sri Lankan and Lanna Thai influences. It’s also nice and close to Wualai Road, the site of one of Chiang Mai’s better markets, held every Saturday. Opening rates start at THB 34,000 ($1352.40) per night, for up to 12 people, with a Champagne breakfast included.
