Zen by Stellar in Cameron Highlands


As it’s always sunny in Malaysia, a quick escape to the cool mountains for a night’s stay sounds like pure bliss. Throw in a slice of Japan with a night up in the mountains and we’ll pack our bags in a heartbeat.

Zen Glamping Resort by Stellar is exactly such a place, opening soon on 18th August 2024. The new Japanese-inspired glamping resort in Cameron Highlands has all that you need to zen out – rooms set against lush greenery, an outdoor onsen, and an in-house cafe serving tea.

If a trip to Japan is not on the cards for you right now, you can still have a taste of the country’s peaceful vibes right here in Malaysia at Zen by Stellar. This new glamping retreat, operated by the same folks behind Stellar GoldenHill Cameron, feels wholly and authentically Japanese – from the facilities to the rooms.

Hotel guests can soak away their stress in an outdoor Japanese onsen in the morning, go for a massage at a spa centre in the afternoon, and have tea at a specialty tea room in the evening. At night, there is the Japanese omakase and dining experience to close a perfectly peaceful day at the resort.

Zen by Stellar has what they call “luxury tents”. But these look and feel more like cosy cottages, with their woody furniture and plush bedding.

For that outdoor Japanese bath experience in the privacy of your own room, opt for a stay in their Yama (from RM1,095/night) or Sora Villas (from RM1,188/night). These rooms stand perched over the surroundings for maximum privacy, with each featuring a balcony with an outdoor bathtub and tatami seating area.

Families with little ones can go for the Sora, as it accommodates two adults and two children with a king-sized bed and a sofa bed.
