You have probably heard about Bangkok or the paradisiacal Thai beaches already. However, the mountainous area of the country may be something fresh and new. Smaller and more peaceful than the capital of Thailand, Chiang Mai might be the change of air you’re looking for on your next vacation. It’s not an anonymous town, but its ancient temples usually take all the credit. The golden Buddhist temple Wat Phra That Doi Kham and Wat Umong are always crowded with tourists. Chiang Mai has an energy that captivates every traveler, encouraging them to come back or extend the trip as much as possible. Do you feel inspired? Browse then through this list of the best private pool villas in Chiang Mai, Thailand.

We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) host status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and access to private pool. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on April 09, 2024.

1. Luxurious villa close to the airport (from USD 182)

Enjoy the beauty of Chiang Mai from this beautiful Airbnb vacation rental with perfectly landscaped outdoors. The villa is spread across two levels, with the common areas on the lower level opening onto the pool. It is rare to see a covered pool in the tropics, but this villa features an all-season covered pool that opens into a garden patio.

The indoor dining room features a glass wall overlooking the pool which is perfect for meals. The patio seating and second poolside dining table are better suited for snacks when you want to take a break from playing in the water. Stairs from the upper level lead down to the garden area, which provides direct access to the pool. Because of open falls on two sides, the pool area is flush with natural light despite being covered.
