Ipoh is a coastal Malaysian city midway between Kuala Lumpur (2 hours) and Penang (90 minutes). Ipoh marks the point where the road from the Cameron Highlands meets the coast, meaning that most visitors touring the west coast of Malaysia pass through Ipoh. There are a few minor attractions in this scenic area of limestone hills, but The Benjaran Hotsprings Retreat has given good reason for considering a stopover. This luxury wellness retreat offers the chance to break up the overland journey through Malaysia and enjoy a couple of nights or longer in one of the very few health and wellness retreats in Malaysia.
