Dining is a highpoint at Cameron Highlands Resort. Here, traditional English cuisine meets the many tastes of Asia in a mouth- watering symphony of flavours and experiences. The Dining Room, with vista windows overlooking the golf course and the surrounding hills, offers a casual atmosphere for breakfast, lunch and dinner and uses the freshest ingredients from the nearby farms. The only Japanese restaurant in Cameron Highlands; Gonbei serves fresh sashimi, soba, tasty tempura and popular bento sets. Traditionalists will love the Thompson Tea Room whose elegant setting makes it the perfect spot for the time honoured tradition of afternoon tea.

Much of the character of the highlands remains unchanged since colonial times. It is endearingly known to some as the 'little corner of England in Asia'. Its climate is tailor-made for nostalgic reconstructions of English cottages, narrow village lanes, invigorating hikes through the countryside and afternoon tea and scones accompanied by locally produced strawberry jam. The only 18 hole golf course in the area sits alongside the resort, ensuring golfers will not be disappointed. No visit would be complete without a visit to a tea plantation and together with a local plantation; the resort can arrange an exclusive experience. Take an idyllic walk through the tea bushes, learn how tea is produced, tour the factory then partake in a tea tasting session, the highlight of this tea journey is a sumptuous picnic, laid out al fresco in the heart of the tea plantation, allowing panoramic views of the lush valley. After a day of exploration return to the resort and curl up with a good book, have a drink or play a game of snooker in the Highland Bar or make a visit the Spa Village, where the energetic can use the facilities of fully equipped gym, while others indulge in the Spa. Treatments here feature healing therapies based on produce from the surrounding jungle and ancient tea rituals. This authentic blending of culture and product is what makes it such a unique and healing retreat.
