A new spa and organic wellness resort, which has been modelled on the 18th century Haut Koesnigburg castle in France, is due to open in Malaysia by the end of July.

The 210-room Chateau Spa and Wellness Resort is sited in the Berjaya Hills amid a 150-million-year-old rainforest and will be the world's first organic destination spa resort. Facilities will include the La Santé spa, which will use Voya organic products certified by the US Department of Agriculture and the Soil Association.

European-style thermal facilities - including a herbal infused sauna chamber and a soap brush/aquaveda heated bed - will be on offer at La Santé. Personalised therapies and treatments will help meet the specific wellbeing needs of guests, while a nutritional consultation service will also be available.

A salt grotto, a salt pool, one deluxe couple suite with hydro bath and two couple suites are also included as part of the spa offering, in addition to a deluxe treatment room.
