Banyan Tree Ringha.

Perched 3,200 meters above sea level in the Yunnan highlands, Banyan Tree Ringha eschews modern minimalism for deep cultural immersion. The resort is modeled after a traditional Tibetan village, comprising 32 authentic lodges and suites built with local pine and limestone. Inside, the rustic farmhouse aesthetic meets high-end comfort, featuring hand-carved wood interiors, smoky fireplaces, and deep wooden soaking tubs. The standout Spa Suites even include private treatment rooms on the lower level. Outside the doors, the "Spirit of Shangri-La" program leads guests to nearby Ringha Temple and through high-altitude hiking trails. After a day in the thin mountain air, the kitchen serves authentic Tibetan hot pot, providing a grounded, sensory connection to the rugged landscape.
