SICHUAN Luxury Retreat: Gourmet & Wellness journey

Crafted for the gourmet traveller seeking a reset. A healing journey that intertwines cultural artistry with deep, restorative wellness in some of Sichuan’s most beautiful places – without long drives. Your journey begins in Chengdu. Sitting at a comfortable altitude of 500m, this UNESCO City of Gastronomy serves as the perfect start.

As a wellness retreat for food lovers, our philosophy is a restorative approach: the journey is designed to nourish and inspire. Expect bespoke experiences for culture and cuisine. Forest immersion in alpine mountains. Mindful time spent at luxury lodgings with elegant aesthetics, as well as spa and wellness options.

Ba-Shu 巴蜀 is the millenia old dual-civilisation cultural heritage of the region. Shaped by topography and climate, its culinary wisdom is rooted in the principle that food is medicine. Therefore the full breadth of Sichuan cuisine is much more than the spicy cult favourite that it is known for globally. Spanning a matrix of 24 flavour profiles, many of which are non-spicy:

• Lizhiwei (荔枝味): Imitation of lychee’s natural characteristics without actually using the fruit, this sophisticated creation delivers a dominant sweetness with delicate sour undertone.
• Yan (烟熏): A smoked flavour profile, often featuring tea leaf or cypress wood.
• Majiang (麻酱): A rich and nutty savory sesame paste.
• Chenpi (陈皮 ): This infuses dried tangerine peel with rice wine and light soy sauce. Delivering a fragrant, sweet, and tangy complexity that aids digestion and refreshes the palate.
