Set in the center of Shangri-La, Yunnan Province and surrounded by mountains, the Banyan Tree Ringha offers a spectacular setting, some 3,200 meters above sea level, amid canyons, rivers, plateaus and valleys. To get to the property, guests must take a 40-minute flight from Kunming International Airport to Diqing Airport; the resort is approximately 30 kilometers away.
With architecture reflecting local Tibetan culture, the Banyan Tree Ringha is comprised of lodges that are traditional Tibetan farmhouses. Intricate wood carvings and pine pillars festoon the interior and exterior of these buildings, which all have river or valley views. The hotel offers an array of on- and off-site activities. On-property, guests may seek relaxation at the Banyan Tree Spa, an intimate retreat inspired by sacred Himalayan beliefs. Typical services include the Guishi hot river-stone treatment and a yoga massage. For adventures beyond the hotel's borders, guests can sign up for four-wheel drive winter tours of the region, or go on winter treks via horseback or foot. Monasteries and behind-the-scenes tours of local farmhouses are among the destinations and additional fees apply to these excursions. Guests will find two dining venues serving local Yunnan Province specialties, Chinese and Western fare.
Teak furnishings, native fabrics and red walls combine for a luxurious decorative motif in Guest Rooms here. Private balconies bear scenic views while rooms feature cable television, direct-dial telephones and safes.
Providing an authentic Tibetan countryside experience, Banyan Tree Ringha offers a wide variety of amenities.

\"Secret Village More than 10,000 feet above sea level, in the ancient heartland of Tibets Bon religion, 32 traditional farmhouses have been revamped into decadently rustic suites at Banyan Tree Ringha. Guest quarters are decorated with vivid thangkas and woolen carpets in the rich rust and maroon hues that are a local trademark, and each has an open hearth for cold winter nights as its centerpiece. Private balconies offer breathtaking views of the Ringha River and distant snowcapped peaks. After a days trek in the wilderness, rejuvenate with a hot-stone treatment at the spa. A creative set has fled the urban grind of Beijing and Shanghai and is transforming the traditional mud-brick houses of the surrounding villages into galleries, inns, and cafés. For a bit of a culture shock in misty Shangri-la, you can sip a martini at the bohemian bar Raven in Zhongdian.\"

What Makes This Juicy Hotel a Boutique Hotel? | |
The Riviera Maya is located in Mexico on the Yucatan Peninsula in the State of Quintana Roo and nests alongside the Caribbean Sea. Situated in the heart of the Riviera Maya- Fairmont Mayakoba is approximately 42 miles or 70 km south of Cancun- within the Mayakoba resort development; a secure- 240-acre gated community surrounded by canals- shoreline and mangrove forests- which is only accesible via one main entrance point. The mysticism and magic of an ancient culture is still present. Serene sunlight flickers and dances on emerald lagoon waters- and the rolling surf of the Caribbean washes the shore creating a natural symphony of sound and smell. Fairmont Mayakoba Riviera Maya's Mexican home is a unique mixture of interwoven cultures. While the host of free spirits and roamers that have long been attracted to this glorious peninsula have lent to the relaxed local culture a European style and flair for gracious living- travelers can bask in perfect solitude on uninhabited beaches- explore eco-parks or enjoy nearby Playa del Carmen*s exuberant nightlife. Many come to experience Cozumel -one of the world*s premier diving and snorkeling destinations first made famous by famed French marine pioneer Jacques Cousteau- where the warm currents and coral reefs support a breathtaking pantheon of marine life. Others come to explore Chichen Itza- one of the world*s new seven wonders- and experience the fascinating world of the Mayans- whose mythology- science and culture can still be felt today. Most want a taste of it all: the delicate jungle- the alabaster white sand beaches- the crystal clear turquoise water- the fine cuisine and the spectacular nightlife!
