An award-winning resort in the heart of Thailand‘s northern jungles, Jirung Health Village combines nature and science with modern modalities. Providing a city-escape for those based in Asia, the resort still provides all of life’s little luxuries and offers personalised healing and wellness getaways.
Location
Nestled in the lush jungle of Northern Thailand, Jirung Health Village rests on 28 beautiful acres. Located just 30-minutes drive from the Chiang Mai airport, this calm oasis is surrounded by mountains and has lakes, rivers and waterfalls flowing through it.
Accommodation
Specifically designed to attract the natural healing flow of Yin and Yang energy, the dwellings at Jirung Health Village support rejuvenation. Accommodation options are split into two categories: Mountain Villas Suites and Sanctuary Family Suites. The Mountain Villas Suites are designed in the Traditional Thai Lanna style and sleep one to two adults; while the Sanctuary Family Suites have two bedrooms, a small kitchen, living room, dining room and private balcony with mountain views are are ideal for families or groups. The mountain suites definitely have more character and come with an accompanying private Thai pavilion/shala.
Food Programme
Based on the principle ‘food is medicine’, Jirung serves up healthy Thai cuisine, authentic Northern Thai dishes and international meals. The retreat only uses locally-grown, organic vegetables along with a range of natural ingredients, which complement its wellbeing focus. Health food cooking classes are offered and guests are also invited to study healing herbs and plants under the guidance of a plant specialist in the retreat’s private organic garden.
Treatment Programme
Designed to help guests ‘fortify your inner self’, the wellness programme at Jirung revolves around energetic purification. Created with the aim of cleansing mental toxins and negative emotions from the sub-conscious level, the retreat’s unique ‘Mind Oasis Programme’ is a mind-body detoxification method that cleanses impurities from the mind first and body second. It does this by taking guests on a journey of the ‘4 R’s’: ‘Relax’ (relaxing treatments); ‘Release’ (body and mind detoxification techniques), ‘Revitalize’ (exercise, healthy food, clean air); and ‘Reprogram’ (mind programming techniques).
Tai Chi, Thai yoga, Vipassana meditation and ‘Prana training’ are also on the wellness menu, along with a range of therapeutic spa treatments. The ‘Four Elements Programme’ is another interesting package, which aims to heal the natural elements (earth, fire, water and wind) that constitute optimal internal health. It does this by pinpointing organ deficiencies and correcting energetic imbalances. Jirung customises individual health treatment programmes based on each individual’s specific needs and balances physical, mental and emotional development.
