This forest sanctuary gives a home to soul-weary city dwellers who want a chance to reconnect with the wilderness—without sacrificing comfort.
From a living tapestry of rich canopies to moss clinging to the roots of the earth and birds echoing through the stillness of the forests and distant murmurs of a stream lapping and crashing against the rocks—Janda Baik is a quiet refuge fit for modern people who want to wriggle out of the city. A perfect sanctuary to heal and find peace, the soul-weary urbanite will be able to simply ‘be’ underneath the stars here, especially with Tiarasa Escapes Glamping Resort framing the woods as a haven.
Here’s everything you need to know about the Tiarasa Escapes Glamping Resort:
With tents billowing gently in the breeze, the Tiarasa Escapes Glamping resort is a haven for small critters, a flurry of activities, and a home away from home. Encapsulating a fusion of heritage, tribal and boho chic, this bespoke, personalised glamping experience is like no other.
The Humble Abode
Adorned with resplendent natural beauty, the safari-style tents and treehouse villas open up a whole new world for those who crave stillness. Flanked by a lush green backdrop, all of their rooms are a serene oasis—a perfect place to cosy up to when the sunlight bathes through the tents or when dusk falls. With rustic, safari-style interiors, tribal furnishings and soundtracks of nature, this is the place to cocoon away from the hustle and bustle you’re accustomed to. You can even sleep the day away in the hammocks that are perched near the rivers, where the ripplings of the water will lull you to sleep—or you can soak in the views of Mother Nature’s gifts.
Unparalleled Fun
In every destination, there are always unparalleled happenings to discover. As the sun rises and climbs high, salvation arrives in the form of cool, crystalline water. The wading pool shimmers like a hidden gem nestled within the resort grounds, its surface catching fragments of sunlight that filter through the overhead canopy.
The resort also reveals itself as a playground for the restless and the curious alike. Friendly matches erupt on open grounds—badminton, football and more. For those seeking quieter pursuits, forest trails beckon with their whispered secrets and unbridled beauty. And for the patient observer, binoculars in hand, the forest offers its most enchanting gift: birdwatching. But don’t fret, creative people, there’s also room for you, too. In a corner of the resort, a mini batik experience unfolds as an intimate dance between tradition and personal expression, where ancient Malaysian artistry meets the trembling excitement of first-time or veteran creators.
As dusk settles over Janda Baik, the forest transforms into an open-air theatre of possibilities. Gather around crackling firepits where marshmallows blister and bubble, their golden skins giving way to molten sweetness as you press them between graham crackers and chocolate—the ancient ritual of s’mores tastes different here, somehow richer, as wood smoke curls into the canopy above and laughter mingles with the chirping of nocturnal insects.
You can even settle into canvas chairs as a projector flickers to life, showcasing your favourite movie. And, trust us, there’s something almost magical about watching films beneath a ceiling of stars.
Gastronomic Delights
From cooking classes to fruit-picking and eating your heart out, indulging at Tiarasa Escapes is a full-on adventure. Delight in the resort’s unique riverbank picnics, where an afternoon is spent lying on carefully laid blankets that dot the riverbank and wicker baskets overflowing with carefully curated delights. The best part? You might even see dragonflies darting and hovering like tiny helicopters. However, you can also enjoy their standard comfort meals, ranging from local delicacies to Western favourites—soups, mains, desserts, and more.
Whether you’re seeking solitude beneath ancient trees, adventure along forest trails, or simply a reprieve from the relentless rhythm of urban life, Tiarasa Escapes Glamping Resort offers more than just accommodation—it offers transformation. Here, where the wilderness meets thoughtful comfort, you’ll discover that reconnecting with nature doesn’t mean roughing it. Instead, it means rediscovering what it feels like to breathe deeply, to move slowly, and to remember that sometimes the greatest luxury isn’t found in marble lobbies or city skylines, but in the simple pleasure of falling asleep to the symphony of the forest and waking to birdsong filtering through canvas walls.
