In a remarkable recognition of its natural beauty and unique charm, the Cameron Highlands resort in the state of Pahang, Malaysia, has been named one of the 51 most beautiful places in the world by the prestigious ‘Conde Nast Traveler.’
Condé Nast Traveler, a renowned luxury and lifestyle travel magazine based in New York City, is known for its discerning eye in selecting the most breathtaking destinations across the globe.
The magazine, boasting 25 National Magazine Awards, has recently included Cameron Highlands in its distinguished list alongside iconic locations such as the Amazon, Antarctica, Banff National Park, and the Grand Canyon.
Cameron Highlands: A colonial retreat reimagined
Cameron Highlands stands out for its 275-square-mile expanse adorned with vast tea plantations, lush green landscapes, and unique attractions such as butterfly gardens and strawberry farms.
The region’s cool highland climate, reminiscent of rural England, adds to its allure and provides a welcome escape from Malaysia’s tropical climate.
Established as a ‘hill station’ retreat during the British colonial era, Cameron Highlands retains a colonial, northern European atmosphere. Today, both domestic and international travelers flock to this serene haven to experience its distinct climate and landscape.
Known for its fresh air, breathtaking scenery, and cool climate throughout the year, Cameron Highlands has become one of Malaysia’s most beloved getaway destinations.
The recognition by Conde Nast Traveler is expected to further boost tourism in the region, drawing attention to the unique blend of natural beauty and historical charm that Cameron Highlands offers.
Southeast Asian wonders
Among the 51 stunning global destinations highlighted by the magazine, four are situated in Southeast Asia.
In addition to Cameron Highlands, Southeast Asia is represented by Hạ Long Bay in Vietnam, renowned for its blue waters and limestone islands; Palawan, Philippines, celebrated for its blue lagoons and cliffs; and Ubud in Bali, Indonesia, which provides access to serene villages, tangerine groves, and rice paddies tended by local farmers through generations.
This acknowledgment not only showcases the natural wonders of Cameron Highlands but also positions Malaysia as a must-visit destination for travelers seeking unique and enchanting experiences.
