Tea Inside and Out at Malaysia's Cameron Highlands Resort
Where: Tanah Rata, Malaysia
It had a previous life as the Merlin Inn Resort, but now the Cameron Highlands Resort in Malaysia got a full refurbishment along with some new owners and now sounds like a pretty good spot for a relaxing and slightly exotic holiday.
The theme, as this week's Sydney Morning Herald review makes clear, is tea. Malaysia's most famous tea brand, BOH, originates from the Cameron Highlands area, and there are still many plantations there today. Now at the Cameron Highlands Resort you can indulge yourself with options ranging from the simple drinking of tea to its use in the Spa Village: you can start a treatment with a tea bath, for example.
Surrounding the resort (amongst the tea) are a golf course and beautiful rolling hills. Service is personalised--there are just 56 rooms there--and fast internet access is also in place. And there's still enough British influence, apparently, that you can always find someone to offer you a biscuit and a cup of tea.
