Surrounded by emerald-green hills and cloaked in fresh mountain air, The Chateau Spa & Wellness Resort, Berjaya Hills is more than a destination—it’s an experience
Rising above the canopy of a tropical rainforest, The Chateau Spa & Wellness Resort invites you into a world where European charm meets the lush greens of Malaysia. Perched 2,700 feet above sea level in the cool highlands of Bukit Tinggi, this award-winning retreat is a rare sanctuary where wellness, romance and adventure coexist in perfect harmony.
The Chateau Spa & Wellness Resort is more than a destination, it's a one-of-a-kind experience. Here, mornings begin with yoga overlooking misty treetops, afternoons drift by in thermal spa sanctuaries and romantic evenings unfold beneath the stars in a record-breaking glasshouse.

A French-inspired sanctuary that was modelled after the 18th-century Haut Koenigsbourg castle in Alsace, this sprawling estate rises like a dream from the mist, its stone façades peeking out from a sea of green. But while the architecture may echo the past, the experience is anything but dated.
Experience rituals that renew and rejuvenate

A stay at the resort isn’t complete without a visit to its main attraction, the La Santé Spa. The first European-style wellness centre of its kind in Asia, La Santé combines European treatments with Asian warmth and hospitality, with unique services like the thermal wellness facilities. Visitors can experience the Salt Grotto, a treatment where therapeutic mud is applied on the guests prior to entering the salt cave; the Aquaveda, a heated bed or soap brush treatment with automated body exfoliation facility; and the Herbal Bath, an Austrian herb-infused sauna.
With these one-of-a-kind treatments, it’s no wonder the spa was recently honoured with the prestigious ASEAN Spa Services Award by the ASEAN Tourism Standard. Guests can also ease into their day with daily yoga sessions, held amidst the resort’s tranquil setting.
