Organic wellness resort for Malaysia

Berjaya Hills, a subsidiary of Berjaya Corporation, will open a RM100m (24m euro US$33m, £21m) organic spa and wellness resort in Bukit Tinggi, Pahang, Malaysia in April.

The Chateau Spa and Wellness Resort is located within a 150-million-year-old tropical rainforest and has been modelled after an 18th century medieval 'Haut Koesnigburg' castle in Alsace, France.

Facilities include 210 bedrooms and a luxury resort spa called La Sante. The spa will be marketed as Malaysia's first "organic wellness spa".

The spa offers the use of European-style thermal facilities which include a herbal infused sauna chamber, salt grotto or mud chamber, and a soap brush/aquaveda heated bed with automatic body scrub facilities.

Therapies and programmes are designed to meet individual needs and health goals ranging from body pampering, beauty, anti-stress, body cleansing, fitness and weight loss. The resort will also aim to attract the lucrative couples' market.

A spokesperson for Berjaya Hills said: "The Chateau advocates a lifestyle approach to personal wellness in a non-regimented way.

"With the resort's quintessential focus on progressive well being and vitality, The Chateau is not only a retreat that embraces holistic ideas and relaxing principles but one that defines the eminent journey towards wellness."
