This tiny resort - currently known as Imagine Chiang Mai but soon to be rebranded as "Imagine Encore - a resort for men" is located some distance from Chiang Mai.  For some travellers that may be a problem but as the local area has much to offer in addition to wonderful peace and quiet, the location is an advantage rather than a disadvantage.  The resort is located inside its own walled garden inside another gated property.  Privacy and seclusion are guaranteed. The Owner / Manager is a generous and welcoming host who goes out of his way to ensure that guests are happy and well-informed on local attractions.  He is a wonderful tour guide, too.  The five chalets are well-furnished and have excellent beds, a small kitchenette and a good bathroom.  Decks on two sides of the chalet offer views either of the immaculate garden or of the rice fields and mountains.  The swimming pool is small but adequate for the maximum of ten guests and the sun loungers by the pool give views over the rice fields and to the mountains.  The resort is clothing optional by the pool - but in fact as the gardens are so private I feel a guest could be naked just about anywhere if the Manager approves.  Breakfasts are huge and tasty and served in a large open-air sala with garden and rice field views.  Highly recommended.

A great escape

From arriving at the airport and getting dropped off at the hotel, i was under the care of a lovely woman that took care of all our needs from dropping me and my girlfriend off at locations so we could explore, everything was great from the location to the food to the overall service.
We were thankfully the only ones staying there at that time, such a beautiful location.
While it is about 15-20mins to the city, getting a lift there was not a issue for the service provided.
We will definitely be staying longer next time (only stayed 2 nights) i highly recommend this hotel for privacy, view and service! Great for couples.
Only thing i noticed was abit of a bug problem, but wasn't a big issue to affect my stay.

Perfect getaway for a couple.

It is difficult to say anything that other reviewers haven't already covered. Imagine Chiang Mai is an amazing place, with an incredible host. 

Staying at Imagine is like visiting a good friend in Thailand you haven't seen for a while. They know everything - tours, recommendations, local tips and hints, the best eateries and the best sights. Of course, the 'they' I am referring to is Apinun, the hotel owner/manager. 

The property is amazing - set on a rice field with only 5 large free standing residences. The rooms have everything you need and more, and each have a unique charm. 

The hotel is 25 minutes drive away from central Chiang Mai, but getting around either by hotel transfer or bus from the nearby town is very easy. It is an amazing escape, and is exactly what I imagined tranquil Thailand to be. 

Apinun and your beautiful family, thank you for the hospitality you showed us during our stay. Thank you for showing us how beautiful Chiang Mai is. Our whole stay was unforgettable, and we can't wait to return and see the new additions and grand plans you have for Imagine Chiang Mai (not that it isn't fantastic already). 

To people considering staying at Imagine - I recommend it wholeheartedly. You'll regret it if you don't!

What an incredible experience

From the moment you are picked up at Chiang Mai Airport and dropped off again, you are under the care of the charming owner Apinun who takes care of everything you might think of. Breakfast, tours, sightseeing, massages, restaurant recommendations or transportation, you name it you got it. If you want to feel like your in rural Thailand and nevertheless only 25 minutes from central Chiang Mai this is the place for you. Peacefull (only 5 rooms) in the middle of the rice fields with a very nice garden. Don't hesitate, just book.

Feeling at home away from home in Thailand

We stayed here in July 2015 and had an AMAZING stay. We wished we could have stayed longer and cannot wait to return. 

The rooms (more like mini villas) are stunning, stylish and practical. Perfect if you are outdoors people like us as they are very light with massive balconies overlooking the rich paddies. 
The pool area was lovely, again SO peaceful, stylish and overlooking the rice paddies. 
The reception/breakfast area is calm and beautifully styled, we were served wonderful vegan food (at our request).
What made the stay EXTRA special was the owner, who we cannot thank enough for a magnificent stay (and apologise for taking so long to write this review!!). We felt like more than guests but part of the family…that being said it felt completely private and we were left alone unless we required assistance, it was perfect. The family did everything they could to make our stay wonderful and from the bottom of our hearts we are grateful and so happen many others get to experience this!! 

However (and I hate to say anything remotely negative because we loved it here) it is a distance from Chiang Mai - this is stated clearly by the hotel and was no problem for us - but do beware you do need to travel a distance to get to the centre. Yet the owner makes that really easy and cabs/tuk tuks make sure its no problem. 

Can't wait to return!!

INCREDIBLE

We fully booked all the 5 rooms and we are so glad that we had chosen Imagine Chiang Mai Resort. The only regret is we only had stay here for 1 night which is totally a wrong decision. At the time we reached we was welcome by the owner and check-in was fast and smooth. The resort are cool.......nice padi field view, nice pond, nice and well kept garden and nice rooms. We booked dinner package and its all cooked by the owner resort family members. Its yummy and they had given us an unforgetable dinner.
