A new eco-luxury tented camp introduces travellers to one of Northern Thailand\u2019s last undiscovered destinations<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Secret Retreats announces the opening of Visama Explorer Nan, marking both the launch of a new eco-luxury tented camp and the introduction of Nan Province as a new destination within the Secret Retreats collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Officially opened in early 2026, Visama Explorer Nan brings travellers into the mountainous far north of Thailand, near the Laos border \u2014 a region still largely untouched by international tourism and known for its ancient Lanna heritage, Tai Lue culture, traditional salt wells, and dramatic natural landscapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Located in a secluded valley in Bo Kluea District, the retreat features just eight air-conditioned tented suites set alongside a mountain stream, offering an intimate experience rooted in nature, culture, and meaningful local connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As part of the collaboration, Secret Retreats and Visama Explorer Nan will work together to position Nan Province as an emerging destination for experiential and sustainable travel in Thailand. The partnership aims to introduce discerning travellers to a lesser-known side of Northern Thailand through immersive journeys, community engagement, and authentic cultural experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNan represents the kind of destination travellers are increasingly searching for \u2014 authentic, preserved, and still undiscovered,\u201d said Stephane Junca – Secret Retreats\u2019 Founder and Managing Director. \u201cTogether with Visama Explorer Nan, we look forward to bringing greater awareness to the region while supporting responsible tourism and local cultural preservation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Accessible via a direct 80-minute flight from Bangkok, the destination pairs naturally with Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai while offering a distinctly different experience far from Thailand\u2019s traditional tourism routes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
