Acclaimed designer Bill Bensley brings his award-winning style and flair to the lush, emerald-green surroundings of Chiang Mai in this exquisite private villa. Moving away from traditional hotel design for this pioneering project, at Howie’s Homestay Bensley has combined authentic South East Asian design elements with the luxury and polish of a five-star boutique hotel. All of this comes together in the form of an exclusive residence that celebrates Thai hospitality and the spectacular natural surroundings.
Villa owners Howie and Jerri bring an entirely personalised touch to proceedings, from Jerri’s irresistible Thai cuisine employing recipes passed down through generations, to the services of a dedicated local guide who ensures all visitors experience an authentic insight into this fascinating region. Embark upon a cycling adventure through the verdant hills and sleepy villages of the Mae Rim Valley, hike through lush jungle trails to the Doi Inthanon peak or take a leisurely boat cruise along the Mae Ngat lake.
