Back in school, we certainly enjoyed camping and seeing what nature had to offer. However, as we get older, it may go out of style, and our definition of adventure may change as well! Fortunately, glamping spots in Malaysia, a luxurious/glamorous version of camping, exists.
For those unfamiliar with glamping, it is essentially camping with a glamorous twist. This means you’ll be able to enjoy the adventurous atmosphere while staying in a higher class of accommodation.
Glamping is a relatively new concept, and many glamping locations have taken the initiative to be distinguishable from one another.
Because each glamping location has a distinct atmosphere, you will have a different sense of adventure.
As quarantine restrictions loosen, now is the time to visit these top glamping spots in Malaysia.

So think about how lovely it would be if you could go glamping and even have a hammock in your “tent.” That’s awesome.
The Glamz experience is more about relaxing and taking a deep breath of fresh air than it is about going on an adventure. Greenhouse, cafe, public jacuzzi, steam room and lounge area in star tents are all available at the glamping site’s facilities.

Lost World of Tambun (Ipoh)
