Hyatt Adds Greater China Properties to Unbound Collection

The Lost Stone Villas & Spa, located in Greater China near the Myanmar border, has joined Hyatt’s Unbound Collection as the region’s second property in the brand. Set in an area known for volcanic hot springs and spiritual pilgrimage routes, the resort emphasizes a close connection with nature while offering modern comfort and culturally informed design.

The resort is made up of 50 free-standing garden villas positioned to respect the natural landscape. Architects and designers used six different types of natural stone throughout the buildings and interiors, creating a cohesive look that echoes the textures and colors of the surrounding environment. Interior design draws on motifs and materials associated with local ethnic tribes, blending contemporary amenities with regional craftsmanship.

Villas begin at just over 1,500 square feet and are laid out to feel like private homes. Each unit includes a separate bedroom, marble-clad bathrooms, dedicated living and dining areas, a kitchen, and a private spa treatment room for in-villa therapies. Outdoor living is emphasized: every villa features a private courtyard and a landscaped lounging garden that opens onto a private hot spring pool, giving guests a secluded place to relax and soak in mineral-rich waters.

Dining options on the property are curated to showcase local flavors and hospitality. The Cloud Clubhouse offers a relaxed setting for local dishes, select teas, and crafted cocktails, suitable for casual meals or evening drinks. Within a short drive of the resort, guests can find additional culinary experiences: Lisa Ethnic Restaurant operates in a restored ancestral home and specializes in tribal regional specialties, while The Veggie Restaurant provides an entirely vegetarian menu for those seeking plant-based dining.

The Lost Stone Villas & Spa positions itself as a retreat for travelers seeking both physical relaxation and spiritual replenishment. Its location near Yunfeng Mountain Forest Park allows guests to combine hot-spring bathing and in-villa spa treatments with outdoor exploration of nearby forested trails and cultural sites. The resort’s design and programming intentionally balance privacy and connection—to the land, to local traditions, and to the restorative benefits of the natural hot springs.

Hyatt’s Greater China leadership highlights the property as an important addition to The Unbound Collection’s portfolio. Stephen Ho, president of Greater China global operations for Hyatt, emphasized that The Lost Stone offers a story-driven experience and a spiritually enriching itinerary for guests who want to escape daily distractions and discover a distinctive, character-rich hotel within the brand’s collection.

Practical amenities and services at the resort support both leisure and wellness stays. In addition to private in-villa treatment rooms, the resort provides communal wellness programming and opportunities to learn about local culture and traditions through curated activities. The combination of substantial villa space, private outdoor bathing, and access to regional cuisine aims to make the resort attractive to couples, families, and travelers seeking a secluded, restorative escape with a strong sense of place.

By emphasizing natural materials, local design influences, and hot-spring amenities, The Lost Stone Villas & Spa offers a contemporary interpretation of a traditional retreat. As part of Hyatt’s Unbound Collection, it brings a distinct regional narrative to travelers looking for meaningful, design-forward stays that celebrate local geography and cultural heritage.
