Raucous entertainment reigns at Genting, but that was before Pedas Springs Spa was uncovered.
This intimate, well-thought off and cozily planned destination spa is an oasis with a smorgasbord of pampering and relaxing treats that is worlds away from the surrounding hustle and bustle that this highland getaway is famous for.
The joys of life Pedas Springs, which was named Best Family Spa at the Malaysia Spa & Wellness Awards 2009 (the very year it opened!) is located rather inconspicuously across the covered driveway from the lobby of First World Hotel.
It may not look like much from the outside, but once you make your way down the ramp that leads to Pedas Springs' reception area, it's like you've just walked through the Pearly Gates of heaven.
The craziness of the outside gives way to the unexpected tranquility of Pedas Springs' tropical garden ambiance.
The lounge area, where guests relax while waiting for their appointments, has plush easy chairs to sink into while watching a programme of your choice (or sports) on the huge projection TV.
Plush seating The lay-out is rather brilliant (if not, deviously planned) because this first impression is guaranteed to silence any complaining men folk who agreed to a spa experience under duress.
Pedas Springs gets top props for its attention to detail. Most of which can be attributed to its managing director Doris Tan, who having been in the business for many years, has a well-honed understanding of client needs and delivers top rate service to cater towards any want.
Internet access and dining options are just the little added touches for the lounge area. Therefore you can only imagine that the treatments and therapies are mind-blowingly detailed in its attention to pampering needs – and they are.
Lounge about during a manicure or pedicure session The little things really go a long way here.
Massage beds are heated to counter the chill from the cool highland air, blankets are always at the ready and shawls add an even cosier wrap. There are scrumptious snacks to be had and homemade ginger tea served piping hot.
And if you opt for treatment in one of Pedas Springs' suits, it comes with a view!
The common areas are already spectacularly plush to begin with, and you're want for nothing. Well, that is until you try out their very indulgent VIP suits.
There are suits for couples, families and get-togethers with friends.
The sensational suite life! Imagine a day out devoted entirely to pampering – Thai massages, oil rubs, reflexology and, in some, an Infra Room and jacuzzi en suit. It sure beats a high-tea gathering anytime.
The VIP Spa Suits are the kind of place you'd come to and then have problems leaving.
All suits have views of the lake, and an open yet private feel. Divided between alfresco terrace enjoyment and indoor bliss.
Massages on the waterfront And then there is the Floating Villa that sits on the water itself, which exemplifies that when it comes to treating clients to the best Pedas Springs gets top billing every time.
But whether it's the suit life for you or all access to the works at Pedas Springs, you will definitely come away comforted from the experience.
Total rest and relaxation can be found at the hands of trained therapists and any of the treatment rooms. The range offered at Pedas Springs is extensive, and clients are spoilt for choice.
Family fun According to Doris, massages are the most popular services provided. And to raise the stakes, specialized massage oils with meditative, healing and moisturizing properties for all skin types are used instead of just any old brand.
Clients can also opt to immerse themselves in the Jacuzzis that are heated to just the right temperature or chill out in steam or sauna rooms. Doris recommends the Infra Room, which is a new fangled approach to the traditional sauna.
The infra ray technology penetrates deeper into the skin for heated soothing relief. Besides being a far superior means of battling fatigue, it never gets too hot or drying on the skin in an Infra Ray room.
And for the ultimate in spa treatments, Pedas Springs' luxurious packages also includes milk baths, chocolate scrubs and cream rubs. Even Cleopatra would have approved.
Pedas Springs is definitely the way to go. It really is at the height of pampering and relaxation.
