Lanna Hill House is an exclusive luxury rental villa, set in the green mountains a mere 35 minutes drive from Chiang Mai international airport. It was designed by one of Thailand’s top architects and commissioned by an Englishman and his wife, to reflect the best of both local (Lanna) and colonial design. The result is a beautiful house constructed from only the finest materials, including reclaimed teak throughout. Perched on a hill overlooking forested mountains, a reservoir and the Mae On valley, the location is blessed with a pleasant climate and a scattering of small villages untouched by tourism. This part of Thailand is an undiscovered gem, away from the madding crowds and mass tourism.
There are 4 air conditioned double bedrooms, 3 with king size beds and en-suite bathrooms, the other with 2 singles and a cot. The communal areas include living room, play room, great room, library, guest bathroom, kitchen and the 'crow's nest' (perched high in the roof to afford the best views of the lake and mountains). There are teak floors throughout.
Outside there are 9 covered terraces in total, a courtyard, 2 acres of gardens, a traditional sala (ideal for yoga and fitness) and a pool with decked surround. The 10m salt water swimming pool has a children’s pool annexed to it which also doubles as a Jacuzzi.
Normally £2250 for one week at this time of year, the price has been discounted by £550 and is now just £1700 for one week. As an extra incentive (as if you needed one), if you go between now and mid December all your catering (half board) for groups of up to six people will be included free of charge. To a party of six this is worth over £100 per day.

Spa treatments, private hot tubs and massages – something most of us can only dream of. Or not? You can easily pay upwards of £100 per person per day for some pampering and luxury in a UK spa.

Buy one luxury safari - and get another one for free with One Off Places
December is a fabulous time of year to head to warmer climes – and what better place to go than Campi ya Kanzi, a luxury tented safari camp in Southern Kenya. Here you can indulge yourself in some unadulterated luxury, while learning about Kenya’s wildlife and people, and supporting the local communities. Between now and Christmas the camp is offering an exceptional deal whereby your companion goes free when you book a one week stay.
This luxury tented safari camp lies within a 400-square-mile Maasai private land in Southern Kenya, dominated by Mt. Kilimanjaro, just 35 miles away. The safaris are tailor-made to your desires and needs. Since there's no mass tourism and the ranch's environment is still pristine, the wildlife is unspoiled by human contact. Connecting three national parks (Chyulu, Tsavo and Amboseli), the property is home to a vast wildlife and birdlife population.
With only eight tented cottages, there is ample distance from one to the other to guarantee every guest's privacy. Each tented cottage has a dedicated Maasai attendant assigned to it and a wide veranda to provide superb views of either Mt. Kilimanjaro, the Tsavo Hills, and the Chyulu Hills. This is a special retreat far removed from the hectic pace of the modern world. Tembo House, at the heart of the camp, is open to the outdoors, and from its terrace you'll have a spectacular view of Mt. Kilimanjaro where you can while away the hours with a good book, a cold drink, and some lazy daydreaming.....
What the deal - pay for one, get one free!
Normally £330 per person per day, it is now £330 per day for two. Offer applies from now until 22nd December for bookings of seven nights. Conservation fees will apply for both individuals.
Getting there:
Camp staff will meet you at the International Airport in Nairobi and help you with your transfer to our camp which is one hour by private charter plane or a six hour drive. Flights currently available from London to Nairobi for £391 return.
