Banyan Tree Lijiang

Unexpectedly luxurious resort in picturesque countryside at the edge of Lijiang. The 122 spacious pavilions of traditional Chinese design are protected by high walls of rugged gray stone and open onto exquisite private gardens with jet or plunge pools. A glowing color scheme of red, russet and gold creates a warm and seductive atmosphere, enhanced by lacquered furniture and rice-paper lanterns. A full range of modern amenities is complemented by exceptionally stylish marble baths. An indoor/outdoor restaurant presents a sophisticated menu of multinational dishes, while Bai Yun serves delicious Chinese cuisine in a memorable setting. The property’s principal amenity is its sumptuous spa, which offers a wide variety of Asian and European therapies.
