Why go glamping at Tiarasa Escapes Glamping Resort?
It’s near Kuala Lumpur
One of the best things about Tiarasa Escapes outside of its beautiful natural landscapes, laid-back vibe and whatnot is its accessible location. It’s only a 45-minute drive away from Kuala Lumpur, making it one of the best quick getaway destinations from the capital.
Even though it’s under an hour away, however, you’ll still feel like you’ve been transported to a place far far away. This is because the mountainous range and the lush rainforest are a far cry from the tall buildings of Kuala Lumpur.
It features world-class villas
What we love about glamping in Tiarasa Escapes is that we can bring each member of the family, whether it be kids or the elders. This is because the resort features amazing tents that provide modern facilities and amenities, allowing everyone to stay comfortable amidst nature.
These aforementioned modern facilities include air conditioning, huge plush beds, free Wi-Fi and more. Basically, it’s like taking a tent and decking it out with hotel amenities—they even include en-suite toilets and baths!
It certainly takes glamping to a whole new level because it doesn’t just take away the stress that usually comes with camping, but it replaces it with luxury.
It offers tons of facilities
It’s no secret that Tiarasa Escapes feature tons of facilities and it’s one of the reasons why it stands high among the rest. These facilities won’t only help you enjoy a more convenient stay, but they’ll also let you leave all your problems behind by replacing your stress with relaxation.
For instance, the resort features facilities that can help guests enjoy a more convenient stay like BBQ grills so they don’t have to head outside to eat.
The biggest highlight among the resort’s facilities, however, is the huge outdoor swimming pool, which cements this spot as a fusion of a resort and a glamping site. This isn’t your typical swimming pool either, as it’s designed beautifully to make it look like a peaceful pond!
It lets you reconnect with nature
As with any glamping site, Tiarasa Escapes does a great job of helping its guests reconnect with nature by surrounding them with beautiful natural landscapes. This place doesn’t fall short of beautiful things to admire, from its lush rainforests to its river streams.
If you came here to “hit the refresh button” so they say, you’ll definitely get what you’re looking for. It doesn’t take much meditation to achieve it too, as you’ll get to disconnect from your daily hustle and bustle as soon as you’re greeted by this spot’s serene ambience.
It has the best activities
It won’t be a complete glamping experience without some fun and exciting activities, right? Well, you won’t have to worry because Tiarasa Escapes is fully equipped to let you engage in several activities, whether they be for relaxing or for getting active.
For instance, if you want to wind down and just forget all your problems, you can take a dip in the pool. Meanwhile, if you want to break a sweat and get your blood pumping, you can explore your surroundings on a quick hike!
What to Do and See in Tiarasa Escapes Glamping Resort
Watch your favourite flicks under the stars
The best way to cap off the night in Tiarasa Escapes is by spending time with the fam at the resort’s Moonlight Cinema. Here, you and your loved ones can watch your favourite on the big screen while sitting in one of the provided bean bags.
Since you’re in the middle of nature, you’ll have the pleasure of experiencing the cold breeze from the mountains while watching, so snuggle up! Furthermore, you’ll also be treated to the relaxing noise of crickets—pretty amazing!
Of course, movie marathons won’t be complete without some snacks so make sure to bring your own chips and popcorn!
Go on a romantic riverside picnic
If you’re coming with your partner, one of the best things you can do to profess your love is to book a riverside picnic. It’s a great way to catch up with your loved ones while basking in stunning panoramic views and of course, eating delightful snacks!
Speaking of snacks, Tiarasa Escapes offers an impressive selection of both local and international dishes that will satisfy both your tummies and your hunger. Moreover, you’ll be serenaded by the sound of the stream while you’re eating—it doesn’t get much better than this!
If you’re looking to arrange something even more special, be it announcing something special or popping the big question, this is the best place to do so! You can coordinate your plans with Tiarasa Escape’s staff and they promise to take care of the rest!
Cool off in their swimming pool
If you made the wise decision to visit Tiarasa Escapes during the dry season, then you’ll get to experience a splendid time in their outdoor swimming pool! It’s the best way to cool down during the sunny afternoon and it’s overall the best attraction in this glamping spot.
Aside from swimming, we also recommend taking tons of photos while you’re here, as the pool is begging to be photographed. It isn’t your typical swimming pool that’s made out of white tiles and instead features a tropical vibe that will make you feel like you’re at the beach!
Take a dip in the nearby Enderong River
Aside from the swimming pool, you can also cool down at the nearby Enderong River. This spot is perfect if you want to experience a different kind of swim—one that’s in the middle of beautiful natural landscapes.
What’s great about this river is that the stream isn’t too strong so people of all ages can enjoy it without having to worry about drifting away. Anyone can easily stay still and enjoy the gentle flow of the stream.
You don’t have to spend get wet to enjoy this attraction as well, as you can stay by the riverside and enjoy a nice and slow afternoon. Whether it be reading books, taking a nap or anything in between, you can do what you want with your leisure time here.
Enjoy a barbeque night with your loved ones
After a day of swimming in the resort’s pool and river, a great way to replenish your energy is by feasting on some freshly grilled meat! The best part about BBQ nights in Tiarasa Escapes is that you won’t have to do any cooking, as their professional chefs will be in charge of that.
All you have to do is wait for your food to be perfectly charred on the grill and eat to your heart’s content! Speaking of food, the ones you can eat from their menu include lamb shoulder slices, chicken wings and jumbo prawns—yum!
You can also get some sides to go along with your meat of choice or a nice scoop of ice cream to end your meal! Personally, we love their grilled corn and jumbo sausage, but you can also try their Caesar salad and soup of the day, which we’re sure taste just as great!
