Tree-top chalets offer unique vacation experience

[LANKAWI] Want to experience living on a tree?
Then,come to Langkawi$21
The Malibest Resort in Pantai Cenang here is offering five chalets on tree-tops,complete with air-conditioning,television and rest room.
Resort managing director Zalina Md Zain said the company wanted to try something different after finding out that all the resorts on the island offered the usual concept of accommodation-on solid ground.
The chalets,built near the beach ,were opened early this month, she said.
Zailina said the chalets were built of "cengal"wood at a cost of RM50,000 each at a height of five metres,6.5 metres and nine metres about ground on 50-year-old "jambu"trees.Rented out at RM180 per night,the chalets were in great demand,she said.
"Since they were opened ,the chalets have never been vacant,mainly booked by tourists from Europe."she said.
Zailina said occupants had a panaromic view of the sea ,especially during sunset.
She also said that in building the chalets,care was taken not to cut off too many branches and twigs of the trees as a means of conserving the natural environment.
Apart from the tree-top chalets,the resort has 60 seaside chalets built at a cost of RM1 million.--Bernama
