Most of us know how beneficial it is to spend some time in nature, but that doesn’t mean we all enjoy roughing it in out in the open…or even by pitching up tents… I for one am one of those who love nature but still have a fear of the small creepy crawlies….. hahahaha, weird I know considering I am a lot more fascinated then terrified of the huge creepy crawlies

And because if that many places have now introduce the benefits of glamping, where you can have a pretty cosy staycay and get close to nature without having to miss out on basic comfort….

Was over at the Hooton Retreat where we were introduced to several different type of accomodations to suit your budget or how you like your stay to be from stargazing-friendly glamping domes to villas!!!!

The Hooton Retreat is seriously the best place to go for “healing” … you can surround yourself with nature’s best flora and fauna as you refresh and rejuvenate at this tranquil and serene retreat….

Begin your day with a misty sunrise and end it under the blanket of shining stars, accompanied by the hoots of the resident owls (if you are lucky enough to meet or see them)

Come and rediscover your inner self and heal your spirit as you venture into the sanctuary of this beautiful lush virgin rainforest/ orchard… It’s the ideal getaway your mind, body, and soul deserve and crave, especially if you are staying at the Villa Aegolius….

This premium 2 – storey villa comes with a glorious sun deck and swimming pool… there is a queen size double decker bed and a single double decker bed on the ground floor as well as a day bed in the living room area where you can gaze up at the starry skies at night

On the 1st floor there is another queen bed with amazing views of most of the retreat….as well as the balcony/ viewing deck…

My stay here was truly blissful as we had an ensuite toilet inside our villa too!!! Villa Aegolius is perfect for a family or a company of up to 8 people…if you need extra toilets cum bathrooms, it is just at the side near Villa Ninox….

Villa Ninox is a single-storey villa that has a more open concept, with fewer partitions between rooms, so you can chill with your friends, play board games, and just hang out together….

The Hooton has plenty of comfortable accomodations for everyone and besides the villas, you can also opt to stay at Bubo Cote studio rooms

Bubo Cote is a minimalist studio with mezzanine floor to ensure our valued guests to enjoy extra space and comfortability in the unit. An indoor designed ladder leads to a cozy bed area with amazing nightscape. Exquisite living area with a modern hanging chair and bean bag.

Or if you love camping but with comfort or in other words glamping, choose from Dome Tyto or Dome Otus which are Bubble Domes you can stargaze from at night….

You can laze around inside without feeling like they’re missing out on much in the outdoors, as the semi-transparent bubble domes lets you marvel at the glittery splendour of the night sky and nature – all while shielded from pesky insects and the hot weather or even when it rains..

Want a honeymoon you will never forget? Book the glamorous premium 6-metre honeymoon dome that comes with a private outdoor jacuzzi, and is recommended for couples looking to have a romantic getaway and firnished in beautiful bamboo furniture… there is even a hammock for you to relax and dream awayyyyy

The domes have air coolers – allowing for proper ventilation – standing mirrors, towels and toiletries, drinking water, umbrellas, and closets.

When your tummy starts grumble, ChillOwl cafeteria is the canteen /on-site cafeteria that serves up breakfast, lunch (upon request) and dinner (upon request) including delicious signature banana leaf rice and a bbq dinner…
All of the food is pork-free and are subject to change according to availability.

Adventurous? You can go for a hike up Bukit Sawa…. Venture deep into the lush, untamed wilderness, where every step unveils a world of hidden wonders…

An adrenaline junkie? Go on and unleash the Tarzan in you and fly through the jungle with the only Jungle Fox facility in Jelebu….

Don’t forget to hone your concentration as well as your archery skills at The Hooton Retreat…

A camping experience wouldn’t be complete without a campfire session, gather and mingle with your friends around our tipi-inspired campfire
