We were the very lucky guests of our Thai friend and had the good fortune of being invited to stay at Katilya for 3 nights. We stayed in a King room overlooking the mountains. The room was one of the nicest I have stayed in. Big room, very comfortable bed, amazing view, extraordinary bathroom, and even an outdoor shower. As... More

After 10 days of nonstop work in sweltering Borneo, my business partner and I were looking for a place that was cool and where we could do nothing but relax and recharge. We had never been to Northern Thailand before and were deciding between this place and the Meridien. We both loved it. From the time we checked in to... More

I was stayed at this wonderful resort in top northern of Thailand during 30 December 2012 - 2 January 2013 in a Katiliya Suite, for celebrating my NYE there. This resort is very very beautiful located among the unspoiled forest. I could wake up early morning around 5 am everyday waiting to see the sunrise and wonderful haze. Staff are... More

This is an excellent place for exploring the mountains, the hill tribes, the Golden Triangle, Mae Sai and Chiang Rai. You MUST have a car, otherwise you are stuck in the middle of nowhere. The hill is so steep that for some rooms you need to call for an electric car from the reception to go anywhere. The sunrise and... More

After reviewing several hotels in the Chiang Rai area, it appeared that most people had few good things to say about most of them, including some very high end ones. As we were taking a two day tour to the west and then north into the Golden Triangle. we decided to stay at the Katiliya Mountain Resort, about 30 km... More

This place has been built with a lot of love and care and it shows, it's beautiful, the pool is beautiful too but it's almost deserted. We worry about how long it will stay open when it is so empty but we're really delighted we found it on the internet and booked it.

Katiliya is a beautiful resort up on the mountains of Chiang Rai. Set off the road, up some steep hills which gives you a great vantage point for sunrise and sunset, both of which were incredible. The staff was very friendly, and although their English wasn't the best, they made every effort to accommodate requests immediately. The restaurant was great-... More

This resort is 45 minutes from Chiang rai. Very quiet during the week. Wonderful location with fesh air & great views. Swimming pool was excellent for laps & thee's also a hot whrilpool Very remote so don't expect to travel around without transport or use expensive hotel transport. Thai food in hotel restaurant is very good. staff ratio to guests... More

We splashed out a bit on Katiliya. Strange stay. Couldn't fault the hotel. Lovely spacious rooms, pleasant staff, good food. But it was just a bit soulless. There didn't seem to be anyone there - and this was in peak season. The first night we ate in the hotel restaurant and the food was good but we were the only... More
