Cameron Highlands Resort

Cool, misty air and stone fireplaces in the middle of Malaysia: the Cameron Highlands Resort is a colonial-style hill-country hotel sitting nearly a mile above sea level, a few hours north of Kuala Lumpur. Four-poster beds, timber floors, and beamed ceilings set the tone, and daily high tea keeps the mood resolutely British. The Spa Village leans local, with treatments built around tea and strawberries, which is either charming or on-the-nose depending on your tolerance for theming.
