Rissai Valley, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve Debuts in China's Jiuzhaigou

Rissai Valley, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, marks the brand's Reserve debut in China, an 87-villa resort set within the UNESCO World Heritage valley of Jiuzhaigou in Sichuan province, on the edge of the Tibetan Plateau. As the first all-villa property in the Ritz-Carlton Reserve portfolio, it offers a uniquely private way to experience one of China's most spectacular natural landscapes.

The resort's design references Tibetan building traditions through locally sourced materials, traditional detailing, and thermal-mass walls suited to the mountain climate. It has already earned significant recognition, including the AHEAD Asia Best Resort award in 2024 and three Michelin Keys in 2025.

Jiuzhaigou is famed for its terraced turquoise lakes, waterfalls, and snow-capped peaks, a landscape of extraordinary beauty. Rissai Valley brings the brand's most exclusive tier to its doorstep.
