Rissai Valley, a Ritz Carlton Reserve

Ritz-Carlton’s first all-villa resort - setting a new standard for immersive resort experiences in China.

Situated among a 72,000-hectare reserve and UNESCO World Heritage Site valley, Rissai Valley, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, in Jiuzhaigou is the ultimate destination for immersion in nature, escapism in quietude and reconnecting with oneself.

The 87 luxury villas resort is in a valley along the edge of the Tibetan Plateau, with panoramic views of the stunning snowcapped Minshan mountain range, deep woodlands, and ancient villages.

Upon arrival, guests are welcomed by a grand entryway that marks the start of a transformative experience of leaving behind their routine busy lives and entering a tranquil space for renewal and discovery, and the main public area complex is organized as the “endless Tibetan knot” creating a continuous synergy between the various spaces.

Designed in collaboration with the late Jaya Ibrahim, the public areas are domestic in scale and dotted with vantage points that offer unmatched views over the landscape and provide an intimate feel of exclusivity. They are scaled and positioned to look like a cluster of buildings, a traditional local village built over time and to minimize the overall footprint and impact on the land.

The design of each villa celebrates the natural beauty and richness of the region, the design pays homage to local Tibetan heritage through traditional building details, locally sourced materials, and indigenous planting.
