The Orchard Wellness & Health Resort ザ オーチャード ウェルネス&ヘルス リゾート [Hotel in Malaysia]

A resort that prioritizes health! A unique hotel where you can refresh both body and mind, featuring a fruit farm, spa, and jacuzzi facilities!

Hi there! I’m Aya, a Japanese wife living in Malaysia. Standing next to me is my husband, Eric, who is of Chinese Malaysian descent. Eric will be making frequent appearances on the blog from now on, so we’d really appreciate your continued support!

Today, we’re introducing The Orchard Wellness & Health Resort, located about an hour from Melaka and roughly two and a half hours by car from central Kuala Lumpur.

It’s a bit of a drive from downtown Kuala Lumpur, but this hotel is the perfect escape to unwind in a serene, countryside setting away from the city bustle. It’s also a fantastic choice for families with children. In fact, it’s one of my top picks for when my kids are older. The food is delicious, the gym and pool are spacious, and the large jacuzzi bathtub is an absolute bliss! You can enjoy all-you-can-eat fresh fruits at the on-site fruit farm (season runs from June to August). The spa facilities are equally impressive. Both the rooms and lobby boast luxurious, European palace-inspired interiors that will make you feel truly pampered and rich in spirit.

■ 1. “Lunch”:

We arrived at the resort hotel around 2:00 PM and were treated to a lovely lunch.

Now, let’s dig into the dishes served in the four different pots. From this restaurant, you can enjoy a glass-walled view of a lush, bird-filled paradise garden. Little parrots fly freely about, and you might even catch a “kiss scene” between them! It’s incredibly cute. Watching the little birds while savoring delicious food—what an elegant lunch this is. The two-hour drive from the city was definitely worth it.

■ 2. “Dinner”:

We enjoyed a French course meal. During our stay, it wasn’t peak season, so there were fewer guests, and the dining was served as a set course. When the hotel is busier with more guests, they switch to a buffet format.

Fresh salad with prawns, lettuce, olives, and fruit chunks served on a white plate.

A salad of fresh fruit and prawns. The prawns are impressively large and plump—a stylish and visually appealing appetizer. The fruits used are harvested from the on-site farm. We were also served a mushroom soup alongside the appetizer.

Grilled steak with vegetables and brown sauce served on a white plate with a side bowl of gravy.

For the main course, you can choose between meat or fish. My husband went for the meat, and I chose the fish! The photo shows the meat dish. For the fish option, we had salmon, and the accompanying vegetables were garnished with fruit. Fruit was included in both the appetizer and the main course, which is a delightful touch for us ladies♡ Am I the only one? It just makes me feel so happy! The authentic French cuisine was delicious, and I left completely satisfied. Absolutely thrilled!

There are plenty of machines, and everything is spotless! Since the building for the rooms is separate from the gym, be extra cautious during heavy rain.

<Jacuzzi>

A bubbling jacuzzi in a spa room with beige stone walls and ambient lighting.

High-tech jacuzzi! You can adjust the bubble intensity, water temperature, and more. Since it wasn’t peak season, we had the place to ourselves and enjoyed this high-tech jacuzzi all to ourselves!

I was pregnant at the time and couldn’t join in, so Eric had the jacuzzi all to himself—so jealous! Next time, I really want to go in with the kids!! As for his comment, he said it felt “like being inside a spaceship” (´・ω・`)

Indoor spa area with a bubbling hot tub, stone wall, and lounge chairs near large windows.

The room with the jacuzzi is divided into men’s and women’s sections (similar to a Japanese sentō), with two jacuzzis each, six reclining lounge chairs perfect for relaxing or napping, a sauna, and shower rooms.

Relaxing lounge area with green cushions overlooking a serene garden featuring rock formations and bamboo.

You can sit back in the chairs and enjoy the view outside. There are “Zen” CDs available, so you can also take a break while listening to some soothing music! Just relax and unwind.

<Library>

Luxurious lounge with plush sofas and a bookshelf, featuring large windows overlooking tropical greenery.

There aren’t any Japanese books available, but enjoying a good read while lounging on a plush chair is a lovely experience. It’s a unique moment you can’t have in your daily life—something you can only savor right here.

There’s also a theater room. With such a large, cozy sofa, you’d probably fall asleep just watching movies here! (-_-)zzz

A gorgeous breakfast to start the day! The spread includes omelets, bread, salad, sausages, hash browns, yogurt, chocolate cake, and a fruit platter—so many delicious options. Lunch, dinner, and breakfast were all incredibly tasty, leaving me absolutely, massively satisfied!

The fruit farm’s peak season is from June to August. It gets packed with visitors during that time.

Be sure to bring plastic bags! You can pick fruit as you explore the farm. Small fruits can be eaten on the spot, but larger ones are generally taken home.

Luxury bathroom with freestanding white bathtub and gold faucet against dark tiled walls

The bathroom featured a bathtub and a separate, enclosed shower room (the shower room is visible in the back left of the photo). With two sinks, it was an overly spacious bathroom. And the showerhead in the bathtub was gold!! I’d never seen anything like it before!

<Presidential Suite>

Since there are so few of them, reservations for the Presidential Suite are typically unavailable online, but we were granted a special private tour. This exclusive space is usually reserved only for VIP guests. I couldn’t help but imagine that former Prime Minister Mahathir would have stayed in a room just like this.

Anyway, it feels just like being inside a palace. You can really soak up that lavish, celebrity-worthy vibe. There’s even a helipad on-site, and reportedly, VIPs and government officials sometimes use helicopters when visiting.

<Cap Safari Glamping>

If you’re looking to keep costs down, there are also tent-style rooms available. Surprisingly, the interior is quite clean and well-maintained for a tent.

Palm Tree Road. The grounds are beautifully maintained with lush greenery. Although I don’t know the specific name, there’s a plant reputed to repel mosquitoes that was planted in abundance around the room where I stayed. Despite being surrounded by so much nature, I hardly noticed any mosquitoes. (However, the villa-type accommodations didn’t have these plants, so mosquitoes were present there.)

The Orchard Wellness & Health Resort aims to seamlessly integrate Health, Beauty, and Enjoyment. It feels like a rare type of resort hotel in Malaysia. Moreover, it has consecutively won the awards for Malaysia’s Best Wellness Spa and Best Wellness Retreat from 2015 to 2018—a truly impressive property!

Nearby Information

・The surrounding area doesn’t have much to offer for sightseeing, so it’s probably safest to take the hour-long trip to Malacca’s UNESCO World Heritage City for your tours. That said, make sure to enjoy the resort’s facilities to the fullest!

  • Since you can fully enjoy the facilities, it’s a great option to savor the hotel experience and then head back to Kuala Lumpur.
