Cameron Highlands Resort, Malaysia

The refined two storey building contains 56 rooms, all decorated in a colonial style with polished timber floors, four poster beds, beamed ceilings, plantation shutters, marble bathrooms and French doors that open to a private balcony. Rooms also include modern amenities such as a flatscreen television while the Resort itself offers complimentary internet access and wireless connection at selected areas.

Dining at this intimate boutique hotel is a reflection of its colonial history as traditional English cuisine meets the many tastes of Asia. The Dining Room, with stunning views of the golf course and surrounding hills, offers a casual atmosphere for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The Jim Thompson Tea Room, where afternoon tea is served, provides local specialities and traditional English fare whereas those in search of pre-dinner drinks or a nightcap can be found at The Highlands Bar. For those with more modern tastes, the stylish Japanese restaurant, Gonbei is a great option. Private dining experiences are also available and range from a personally prepared meal on your balcony to a unique steamboat dinner, a local delicacy, under the stars.

The Resort’s award-winning spa, Spa Village Cameron Highlands offers treatments inspired by the local culture of the indigenous tribes (Orang Asli) who live in the jungles of the Highlands. Their deep understanding of plants, herbs and flowers, which have the power to heal, have been combined with the therapeutic properties of tea to create unique signature spa treatments. Other activities range from exploring the variety of exotic flora and fauna that change dramatically with the mountain’s profile on the Resort’s guided nature trails to visiting the nearby tea plantations and rose gardens.
