ROUKH KIRI KHAOYAI invites travellers to experience organic luxury

Blending luxury hospitality with organic living, ROUKH KIRI KHAOYAI invites guests to escape the heat of Bangkok and breathe freely in the fresh mountain air. 

Managed by leading Thai hospitality firm Centara Hotels & Resorts, this organic-centred luxury resort is just three hours’ drive from the Thai capital and is located in the natural paradise of Khao Yai, home to local vineyards, 18-hole golf courses, and natural landscapes of Khao Yai National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site where wild elephants roam.

With an intimate cluster of just 13 villas and residences, ROUKH KIRI KHAOYAI can be booked in its entirety, creating a one-of-a-kind destination for life’s most important occasions, including family gatherings, celebrating parties and corporate events. 

Business escapes can also be enhanced with a meeting space designed for 20 delegates and complemented with a separate breakout room.

Immersive luxury

Just last month, ROUKH KIRI KHAOYAI unveiled two breath-taking Barn Residences under its top-tier accommodation category.

Respectively named Chan and Tawan, each residence offers over 270 square metres of indoor and outdoor space with two bedrooms, a private pool, exclusive services, and plenty of room for friends and families to relax and reconnect with each other in comfort and style.

According to general manager Aree Phonjarem: “ROUKH KIRI KHAOYAI is a unique barn resort that immerses guests in the organic wonders of Khao Yai, the ‘green lungs’ of Thailand. With its fresh mountain air and luxury yet minimalistic design, visitors could be mesmerised by solidarity of the surrounding nature. This makes it a perfect option for couples and groups of friends and families seeking a break from the busy streets of Bangkok.”

Naturally luxurious by design

ROUKH KIRI KHAOYAI was elegantly crafted by award-winning architectural firm Onion which gave it the look and feel of an upscale country village thanks to a collection of low-rise barns, gardens, terraces and pools, all set against the beautiful backdrop of Khao Yai’s misty mountains.

Guests can stay in a choice of tranquil, barn-style accommodation, ranging from the 80-square metre Mountain View Villas and Pool Villas to the stunning 434-square metre, two-bedroom Grand Residence, all of which blend characteristic interior and natural elements with luxurious furnishings. 

With semi-outdoor bathrooms featuring indulgent outdoor bathtubs and organic amenities, plus spacious alfresco dining terraces and stone-clad private pools in most of the villas, every visitor will feel a deep connection with the Earth.

During their stay, guests can also discover the bounty of nature at the hotel’s own organic farm. 

This eco oasis produces an abundant crop of seasonal Thai produce, as well as more experimental ingredients such as lemons, rosemary and avocados, which are used to craft the innovative menus at Roukh Cuisine, a farm-to-table restaurant. 

In the winter months, guests can comfortably warm up next to an impressive fireplace at the open living area; and in the warm summer, an outdoor saltwater pool provides the perfect place to cool off with a scenic swim, overlooking the tranquil landscape.
