Hidden away in the sleepy township of Kepala Batas in Bertam, Penang, sits a world-class wellness resort that is made for the serious health enthusiast
The quiet town of Bertam in Penang doesn’t receive as much attention as its other neighbouring towns do. In between Butterworth and Sungai Petani sits Bertam, and within this town sits Bertam Wellness Spa & Villas, a true hidden gem.
As a distinguished member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World, this wellness resort features 18 villas that pair Moroccan and Oriental inspired architecture throughout the property, allowing guests to immerse themselves in true luxurious fashion whilst participating in their cutting-edge health technology.

The sanctuary that is Bertam Wellness Spa & Villas features Moroccan-inspired spa facilities and communal areas, with state-of-the-art technology. Start off your stay there with a diagnostic journey, using the Visbody 3D body composition scanning, which maps precise structural metrics to tailor customised recovery pathways.
Taking it to the cellular level, guests can also retreat into the hyperbaric oxygen chamber to breathe in pure oxygen that stimulates cellular repair, reduces inflammation, and relieves fatigue.

In Qamaris, the spa facilities area, contrast therapy is at the heart of its offerings. Find an infrared sauna lined with a Himalayan salt chamber, a steam room, a vitality pool, and a cold dipping pool for you to jump into after your penetrating heat session.
Continue your wellness journey through a specially curated selection of traditional and contemporary treatments, all to pair perfectly to restore your body and mind. Experience the ancient and cleansing Moroccan ritual of the Hammam in their beautiful spa, or unwind with the Kechmara Signature massage, a bespoke treatment created by experienced therapists, all trained to read your body and respond to its needs through touch.
Not only does Bertam Wellness Spa & Villas draw from Moroccan rituals, it also draws inspiration from wellness traditions around the world, as seen in their Ayurvedic therapies and other holistic treatments that promote balance and restoration.

All treatments are carried out by a dedicated therapist, giving guests a personal and attentive approach, knowing that treatments are not one-size-fits-all, but rather catering to the individual needs of each guest, creating a considered and dedicated session of recovery and renewal.
The 18 villas are designed with adult guests in mind, offering either one or two bedroom layouts in Moroccan or Oriental themes, complete with private pools, elevated amenities, and dedicated butler service.
Guests also don’t have to leave their villas, with the option of in-villa dining available, seated in the beautiful dining area of the villa, or, for something romantic, opt for the floating breakfast.
Enjoy your breakfast floating in your own private pool

Take a dip into the canal that flows through the resort by signing up for floating sound therapy, where sound healing and floating therapy come together in a wonderfully harmonious session that enters you into a state of arcadian serenity.
If that already sounds impressive, keep an eye out as the team are constantly looking to improve guest experience with more wellness and holistic activities, including a pickleball court, and coming soon, equine therapy.
