Hacienda Botanica is not a hotel, but a private home shaped over many years beside the Mae Rim River. With 11 unique bedrooms spread across villas and casitas, the Hacienda is designed for families and friends to enjoy together guests always take the entire property, never just a room.

Filled with Hispanic art, Mexican influences, gardens, verandahs, and quiet corners, the Hacienda reflects a love of colour, craft, nature, and relaxed living.

At its heart are a long swimming pool, Bill’s art studio, and the Dry House, a peaceful space for flowers, cacti, and morning coffee. A small host team provides warm, easy service, with meals and daily rhythms tailored to each group. Hacienda Botanica is best suited for private gatherings, slow days, and exploring the landscapes and culture of Chiang Mai and Mae Rim. Private stays are arranged exclusively through Smiling Albino, with a minimum five-night stay for up

to 12 guests.
