Those who need a break from the city have two options for a staycay – beach resorts or nature retreats.

Get ready to immerse yourself in nature, as these villas managed by IO Home are tucked away in a forest on a hill.
You’ll be treated to views of mountain ranges from almost every corner of the homes – from the bedrooms furnished with comfy beds and rustic decor, to personal verandahs filled with comfortable chairs for guests to lounge on and soak up the views.

If privacy is an absolute must while you’re staycay-ing, you’ll be glad to know that the entire villa will be yours and your guests only while you’re here. So, no need to worry about sharing amenities like the infinity pool or hammock beds with anyone else.

Each home is also equipped with full kitchen, outdoor shower room, and barbecue facilities.
But the biggest highlight here has to be the signature glamping tents. While the views from the villas are already impressive, you can breathe in the fresh air while lounging around in a cosy tent space, with clear blue skies overhead and the mountains visible.

You might feel the urge to stay buried beneath the blankets with how comfortable the homes are. But don’t miss venturing outdoors to take a dip in the private infinity pools that overlook lush greenery. You can have breakfast by the pool, or indulge in floating breakfast (from RM100) directly in the pool, served an array of delicious local cuisine.
