The top glamping spots in Malaysia to visit for your next retreat
Rest and reset

By now, you would have heard of glamping—a portmanteau of “glamorous” and “camping”—a unique travel experience that allows us to unwind and take a break close to nature without compromising comfort. While sites in Kuala Lumpur may still be few and far between, Malaysians are fortunate to have many glamping options throughout the country, from Pahang to Sabah.
If you’re looking to spend some time surrounded by flora and fauna, these are some of the best glamping locations to check out in the country.
1. Zen by Stellar, Cameron Highlands
For a luxurious Japanese-inspired glamping getaway in the clouds, look no further than Zen by Stellar, which opened its doors in August 2024. As its name suggests, this site in Cameron Highlands offers a tranquil escape from the bustle of the cities below with its clean lines, neutral palette, and natural wood fixtures. Spend your time here exploring the Zen garden, getting in some pampering at the spa or onsen, reading that book you’ve been putting off on Zen Café’s patio, and simply taking in the stunning views. Dining here is also an experience in itself with bento breakfasts, nabe and kushiyaki dinners, an omakase dining option, and more. Accommodations-wise, choose between the simple KaKu and Nami Cottages or the more upscale Yama and Sora Villas. You’re sure to leave the property feeling renewed and refreshed, ready to take on the real world again.
