Rissai Valley, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve

Comprised of 87 villas discreetly tucked amidst the rolling hills of Jiuzhaigu, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this serene hideaway reimagines traditional dwellings, infusing them with whispers of luxury alongside nods to Tibetan art and design. The location influences everything from the décor in the hushed accommodations, where sweeping views of the Minshan mountains invite reflection, to the spa, where treatments incorporate ancient wisdom. Three restaurants feature a blend of Sichuan, classic Chinese, and Mediterranean cuisines using local ingredients.
