“Family First”: Meliá Chiang Mai Launches Exciting Experience For All Ages

 Meliá Chiang Mai has launched a “Family First” holiday replete with fun at a children’s water playground, spa treatments for all ages, a raft of engaging activities at a vast kids’ and teen’s club, and more.







With screens seemingly ubiquitous nowadays, the “Family First” package encourages families to switch off and engage with each other in the present. The package is underpinned by a stay at the hotel’s double 54sqm Family Room featuring city views of Chiang Mai, a sofa bed, separate sitting area, ensuite bathroom, puzzles and board games, a children’s tent and toys.


Adjacent to the hotel’s expansive outdoor swimming pool on the second floor and Tien Pool Bar, a shallow watery playground area for the kids is home to two water slides, a rain curtain, water fountains and a giant tipping bucket.


The YHI Spa’s menu features treatments for women, men and children such as massages that aim to combat cellulite, ease muscle tension and prevent hyperactivity respectively. For children aged six to 12 years, a 45-minute or 60-minute “Kids Therapy” aims to prevent hyperactivity by starting with stretching and animal yoga poses before a gentle massage with HARNN coconut oils to stop skin irritation. YHI Spa’s treatments are based on organic Thai wellness brand HARNN’s products, made with natural ingredients via methods handed down the generations of Thai artisans.


The award-winning hotel’s vast kids and teens club Kidsdom’s program is filled with hand-on activities such as Thai boxing, umbrella painting, plaster model painting, arts and craft with recycled materials and origami.

Kidsdom is made up of various sections including a ‘gaming zone’ offering Chess, Monopoly, Uno, Jenga, Tic-tac-toe, table football, and other games, and a ‘teen club zone’ featuring a drawing board, watercolours, colouring pencils and crayons, and painted plaster dolls. In addition to a ‘mini club’ with Lego, rocking horses, indoor sliders, a ball house and wooden block puzzles, Kidsdom also features a library zone and nap studio.


Drawing on Meliá’s Spanish origins and celebrating Spain’s famed gastronomy, Meliá Chiang Mai’s diverse dining landscape includes restaurants Mai Restaurant and Bar and Laan Na Kitchen, bars MAI The Sky Bar and Tien Pool Bar, and Ruen Kaew Lounge. Freshly made classic churros served with warm dipping sauce are a favourite with the youngsters.


Located in the heart of the action in Chiang Mai city in Thailand’s mountainous north, Meliá Chiang Mai is an excellent base to explore the region’s broad spectrum of tourist attractions, markets, and Buddhist temples.  The hotel offers excursions to attractions ranging from famed temples such as Wat Phrathat Doi Suthep and Wat Umong, to shopping at Central Festival Chiang Mai, the largest shopping complex in Thailand’s north.

“With its array of attractions, friendly people, rich culture, beauty, and excellent cuisine, Chiang Mai is a truly wonderful destination for families,” said Meliá Chiang Mai’s general manager Marc Selinger. “Our hotel has won awards in recognition of its family-friendly facilities and our Family First package is a gateway for families to experience everything our hotel and Chiang Mai has to offer the young and the young at heart.”
