Once a popular hill retreat for British colonialists eager to escape the tropical heat, the Cameron Highlands are now a picturesque place for a restful holiday, complete with beautiful views, historic architecture and heaps of hiking trails. Most easily accessed from Ipoh, the region is dotted with towns and villages — including Tanah Rata and Brinchang, between which most of the best places to stay in the Cameron Highlands are located. Peruse our list to consider atmospheric period properties for active families, romantic couples or relaxed groups.
A lush plateau surrounded by dense jungle and the highest point in mainland Malaysia, the Cameron Highlands benefit from fresh breezes and cooler climes. Home to vast tea estates, vegetable farms, plant nurseries or grazing cows, the region is appealingly tranquil and bucolic. Keen hikers and horse riders can criss-cross the countryside on marked paths, visit butterfly gardens or marvel at refreshing waterfalls and crystal-clear rivers. Play a round of golf on the Cameron Highlands Golf Club's impressive 18-hole course, take guided tours of honey and strawberry farms, or admire mock-Tudor manors whilst sipping afternoon tea on the lawn of your hotel.
Brilliant as a retreat from bustling Kuala Lumpur or a rejuvenating addition to a well-rounded Malaysian itinerary, a trip to the Cameron Highlands feels very special. Book your room at one of the best places to stay in the Cameron Highlands well in advance — these gems risk filling up fast!
