Way to go! The Banjaran Hotsprings Retreat, Sunway Hospitality Group’s natural and luxurious five-star resort in Ipoh, Malaysia, has strengthened its status as one of the region’s finest places to stay after it secured three highly prestigious accolades at the Travel + Leisure Asia Pacific Luxury Awards 2025!

At a glittering gala award ceremony in Bangkok on 18th June 2025, which was attended by hospitality leaders from 15 countries and territories across the Asia Pacific region, The Banjaran Hotsprings Retreat was named as the #1 “Best Hotel Spa” and #1 “Best Beach, Island & Upcountry Resort” in Malaysia, while general manager Marc Groh was honoured as the country’s #3 “Best Hotel GM”

Competing against the region’s finest wellness centers, The Banjaran Hotsprings Retreat clinched for the second year running, the “Best Hotel Spa” title, which underscores the resort’s commitment to health and wellbeing. The resort’s bespoke holistic wellness programmes encompass over 40 treatments inspired by Malay, Chinese and Indian traditions, delivered by a professional team of therapists, to transport guests on a journey to complete renewal.

For the next award, the resort climbed 5 spots to be recognised as Malaysia’s #1 “Best Beach, Island & Upcountry Resort”, reflecting The Banjaran Hotsprings Retreat’s breath-taking natural beauty and world class facilities. Nestled in a 22.7-acre valley, surrounded by ancient rainforest, soaring limestone peaks and hidden caves, this all-villa resort is a truly spectacular destination. With hot springs and dramatic Page 2 of 3 dining venues, including Jeff’s Cellar, the multi-award-winning restaurant which is set in a softly illuminated cave, this is a resort that never fails to stimulate the senses.
