HIGHLANDS

|
Cameron
Highlands Resort is situated on the largest
hill resort in Malaysia, surrounded by breathtaking
scenery, lush greenery, rolling hills and Tudor-styled
cottages. The luxurious boutique Resort features
56 well-appointed rooms and suites, and fronts
Cameron Highlands’ magnificent 18-hole
golf course. It also houses the third wellness
centre of the award-winning Spa Village, which
offers exotic treatments focusing on the healing
and restorative properties of tea.
Located
in the state of Pahang, approximately 200 kilometres
north of Kuala Lumpur, Cameron Highlands is
a beautiful holiday destination and the only
place where you can find tea plantations and
strawberries in Malaysia. At about 1,500 metres
above sea level, it is the highest area on the
mainland and enjoys a cool climate and fresh
air, with temperatures ranging between 15°
and 25° Celsius.
Much of the character of the highlands remains
unchanged since colonial times. It is endearingly
known to some as the “little corner of
England in Asia”. The cool climate on
the picturesque plateau and its surrounding
hills and forest make this a popular retreat
for golfing, jungle trekking and exploration
of the many plantations and gardens. Cameron
Highlands Resort is ideal all year round for
families, honeymooners and holidaymakers out
to sate their appetites for trails, tales and
tradition.
Cameron Highlands Resort is located in the state
of Pahang, approximately 200 km north of Kuala
Lumpur on the east side of the border between
the states of Perak and Pahang in Malaysia.
At about 1,500 metres above sea level, it is
the highest area on the mainland stretching
along a plateau set high above the river valley
and enjoys a cool climate and fresh air, making
it the perfect holiday getaway. Temperatures
fluctuate between 22° and 25° Celsius
during the day and between 15° and 22°
Celsius at night.
Cameron
Highlands was named after William Cameron, a
British Government surveyor who discovered it
in 1885 whilst on a mapping expedition. However,
he failed to mark his discovery and it was not
until 1925 that Sir George Maxwell recorded
Cameron’s discovery and decided to develop
it as a hill resort.
The
fame of Cameron Highlands grew during the colonial
era. British colonials were attracted to this
cool hill station, its climate tailor-made for
nostalgic reconstructions of English cottages,
narrow village lanes, invigorating hikes through
the countryside, rounds of golf and afternoon
teas of scones and locally produced strawberry
jam.
British
expatriates would frequent the highlands on
vacation, to relax and escape the lowland tropical
heat, and British planters soon realised the
potential of its fertile mountain slopes for
growing tea, then a prized commodity. Cameron
Highlands is still home to many tea plantations,
as well as strawberry and vegetable farms, jungle
trails, cascading waterfalls and rose gardens.
Much of the highlands' character remains unchanged,
exuding an old English charm.

THE
SPA VILLAGE
Cameron
Highlands Resort features the third wellness
centre of the award-winning Spa Village, with
a wide range of sophisticated treatments and
healing therapies inspired by the restorative
properties of tea. Each guest luxuriates in
a signature tea bath before every treatment.
Cameron Highlands Spa Village offers tranquil
indoor and outdoor treatment rooms, tea bath
rooms and a fully-equipped gymnasium.
The
Spa Village concept has always been to celebrate
the healing culture of the region in which it
resides. Set in an emerald landscape of lush
farmland and verdant jungle, Cameron Highlands
finds its name and culture in the unique blending
of two distinctly dissimilar societies: The
Orang Asli or ‘original people’,
who were the first settlers of the highlands
and the Colonial British pioneers.
The Orang Asli possess a vast
body of knowledge not only about plants, herbs
and flowers that have the power to heal but
also about the whole ethos of living harmoniously
with nature.
During the colonial era, British
planters realized the potential of the fertile
mountain slopes for growing tea, then a prized
commodity.
Today Cameron Highlands is still
home to many tea plantations, being Malaysia's
largest tea-producing region.
The
treatments at Spa Village Cameron Highlands
feature healing therapies based on produce from
the surrounding jungle and ancient tea rituals.
This authentic blending of culture and product
is what makes Spa Village Cameron Highlands
such a unique and therapeutic healing retreat.
The
tranquil ambience of the Spa Village in the
lush surroundings of the highlands will enhance
the restorative treatments provided. Spa Village
Cameron Highlands features 6 Treatment Rooms,
8 Tea Bath Tubs, 2 Outdoor Cabanas and a fully
equipped Gymnasium.
Throughout
Asia, bathing rituals are an integral part of
physical as well as spiritual cleansing. Bathing
is as important for your mind and senses as
it is for your body. Every guest will enjoy
a signature tea bath before each treatment,
a heavenly soak formulated to gently cleanse,
nourish and soften your skin. The tea bath is
based on an ancient ritual to relieve stress
and refresh the skin as well as slow down the
aging process. Let your mind and body escape
from your busy world at the Spa Village Cameron
Highlands.
At
Spa Village Cameron Highlands, spa experiences
include a series of special body treatments
packaged to reflect the therapies and healing
traditions found in the region. Choose your
highlands spa experience from Rose Garden, Camerons
Mint, Fresh Strawberry Escapade, Chrysanthemum
and Avocado Escape or The Semai Spa.
All of our treatments are conducted
in private spa treatment rooms. Our Spa Co-ordinators
will be happy to customise your visit to the
Spa Village.
