Trails, Tales & Traditions
Set amidst tea plantations and rolling hills, this boutique hideaway promises all the splendour,
romance and nostalgia of Cameron Highlands’ grand colonial heritage.
Tall French doors, timber-beamed ceilings and plantation shutters add colonial charm and a
touch of nostalgia to our rooms.
Enjoy a refreshing round of golf, a pink-cheeked ramble along jungle trails, or a leisurely
walk through tea plantations and strawberry farms. To recover, you can have a cup of tea in
the drawing room, or a tea bath at the Spa Village, or you may simply choose to spend the day
curled up with a good book by the fireplace.
Cameron Highlands Resort is situated on the largest hill retreat in Malaysia, surrounded by
breathtaking scenery, lush greenery, rolling hills and Tudor-styled cottages. The luxurious
boutique Resort features 56 beautifully-appointed rooms and suites, and fronts Cameron
Highlands’ 18-hole golf course. It also houses the third wellness centre of the award-winning
Spa Village group, which offers exotic treatments focusing on the healing and restorative
properties of tea.
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 satiate their
appetites for trails, tales and tradition.
Destination
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.
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
tea and scones accompanied by locally produced strawberry jam.
British expatriates would frequent the highlands on vacation, to relax and escape the lowland
tropical heat, and British planters soon realized 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.
