A romantic stay dedicated to wellness in the Malaysian forest

In this period I'm working on some special programs for honeymooners. All the trips presented in this blog are generally experiential, but in this type of trip I always try to add something unusual. Since Malaysia has been a very popular destination lately, I chose a luxury resort nestled in the tropical forest, in the province of Ipoh, reachable by car from Kuala Lumpur. I propose a stay that combines the exoticism of Malaysian nature with the theme of well-being. An enchanting, decidedly romantic place, which is good for couples of all ages who want to experience memorable moments! This program (4 days / 3 nights) can be integrated with various tours for those who want to explore the destination. A good time to travel is June and July, but also January, February, September and October.

What makes this program special?

1.Explore the Ipoh area, a two-hour drive from Kuala Lumpur

Ipoh is the capital of the state of Perak and is one of the largest cities in Malaysia. The historic center is interesting, with its narrow streets and buildings in the Malay-colonial style. The city is particularly known for THE EXCELLENT MALAYIAN CUISINE that you will taste in a typical restaurant. You will visit a typical shop of an artisan who still today produces the rice paper lanterns used for many celebrations throughout the year. Another valuable feature in this area are BEAUTIFUL LIMESTONE OUTCROPS with wonderful temples inside, dedicated to the various incarnations of Buddha. Before reaching the resort you will see one of these rock-cut temples.

2.Live a unique wellness experience at The Banjaran Hotsprings Retreat

Immersed in lush nature, just a 15-minute drive from Ipoh city, this luxury resort is A NATURAL THERMAL OASIS, with its naturally heated swimming pool and geothermal hot springs. A steam cave and ice baths are also available, while the eco spa pampers guests with traditional rituals of Malay and Ayurvedic therapies. The 44 Garden, Water and Lake villas offer the best in comfort and relaxation with high international standards of service.

The Banjaran also offers SPECIAL DINING EXPERIENCES. A real gem is the Jeff's Cellar restaurant, built in a 260 million year old limestone cave! Also located inside the cave is Jeff's Cellar Bar, rated ONE OF THE TOP FIVE COOLEST BARS IN THE WORLD by CNN Greece.
