Enjoy a dip in the 50-feet infinity pool accessible for all guests, or try a hand at the junior-level archery available on site. If you are a bathroom singer like me, take the opportunity to sing with at the Karaoke lounge where no one in a 10km radius will hear your croaks.

I mean, talk about really merging the city luxuries with nature at a really affordable cost – this is what you get at the Time Capsule Retreat! What started out by a family for their own retreat has now become one of the iconic glamping sites in the Asian region.

Still a relatively undiscovered gem, this “Glamp & Camp” retreat is on the grounds of the actual hotel right in the smack of the city of Kuala Lumpur. The campsite is on a hilltop surrounded by lush greenery, mineral pools and cascading waterfalls.

13. Amoss Farmstay Cameron Highland, Pahang
A unique gampling site situated within a tea plantation and a cabbage farm, this is one of my top recommended glamping sites in Malaysia. There are farming activities provided for all guests to try, as well as tours to the tea plantation for tea enthusiasts.
Apart from the farm tour, they also provide a Mossy Forest tour for all guests either by hike or ride the 4×4 provided. It can get really cold at night (as low as 10 degrees celsius on cold rainy days) so pack some thick sweaters and a raincoat along.
Address: Amoss Road, Kampung Gerak Sepadu,39000, 39000 Brinchang, Pahang
How to get there: Recommended to be dropped off or parked at Nova Highlands Hotel down the road, and arrange for a pick up to the farm with the resort, as the roads can be tricky and slippery

14. Lost World of Tambun, Perak
Situated in the middle of an amusement park, this glamping experience is a rather unique option. Surrounded by the natural limestone landscape, floating on a lake in the middle of a family-themed fun park, this one is highly recommended.
The glamping accommodation comes with access to the amusement park, hot springs and the night park which will keep you busy throughout your stay. There is something for everyone in the family and makes a good summer or school holiday destination.

Glamping in Sabah has become a reality thanks to the 4 young founders of Umea Glam Kundasang. It is very exclusive and limited to only 4 domes (as of now), located at the base of the majestic Mount Kinabalu which peaks at 4,095 kilometers.
The interior of the glamp domes are furnished with Scandinavian vibes as the inspiration behind Umea is the city’s namesake in Sweden. The location is strategic as it is surrounded by places of interests such as the Kinabalu Park & Poring Hot Springs.

How to get there: Fly out to Kota Kinabalu airport from West Malaysia, and arrange a taxi to take you up to the base of the Mount Kinabalu mountain

16. Tadom Hill Resorts, Kuala Lumpur
Another unique find, Tadom Hill Resorts is an exclusive bamboo inspired experience. From the exterior of the glamp accommodations, to the bed frames and lake amenities – everything is made of bamboo and natural elements. This is glamping KL style!

17. Tubotel, Langkawi
This glamp resort is the perfect combination of street glam and minimalism. With the colorful exteriors facing the Andaman Sea in Langkawi Island, it tops our most value for money resort so far.
Complete with 5 star amenities like a full king sized bed, air conditioning and storage space, it offers luxury comfort at the end of a buzzing day in Langkawi.
Address: Kuala Cenang, 07000 Pantai Cenang, Malaysia
