This unusual getaway just proves that there really is a place for everyone. It’s where nature and art literally converge: a 1100-acre reserve dedicated to…manmade art.

The hills of Guilin form an impressive backdrop for this artistic and attractive scene located in the 1300-acre Yuzi Paradise Art Park which is the first Chinese hotel to have joined the Relais & Chateau portfolio.

There are 46 rooms and suites on offer. All the rooms are completely different and unique and feature modern and abstract art pieces. Quality linens are used throughout and the decor is both minimalist and contemporary. The rooms are spacious and free and draw attention to the art pieces that they house.

You can unwind with relaxing spa massages that draw on natural remedies and ingredients to achieve inner bliss and outer glows, enhanced by the fresh outdoors.

HOMA Chateau adds little touches like welcome gifts, turndowns and fresh fruit in the rooms to make your stay that little bit special. It’s fairly intimate but still has all the creature comforts you need.

You can also indulge in a bit of Chinese culture while you’re there: there are ceramics classes, lessons in printmaking and Chinese calligraphy classes to fill your days with.

If you’re in the mood for something adventurous there are caves to explore and 1100-acres to get acquainted with on a bicycle. You can also go on daytrips and excursions to Guilin and Yangshuo.
