Twelve good reasons to make this eco-resort your next weekend getaway when you need to reconnect with Mother Nature. According to owner Puan Sri Shariffa Sabrina Syed Akil, who is also the president of The Association for the Protection of the Natural Heritage of Malaysia (better known as PEKA), no trees were felled when she developed the resort as she believes development and nature can co-exist.

Sipping on hot coffee at the open-air deck just next to a river, one can’t help but feel a sense of eternal peace. It’s no surprise as the resort was built to co-exist with nature. No trees were chopped nor were rocks in the river moved during the entire construction of the resort.
