Guardian Malaysia Wellness Retreat @ Philea Resort & Spa, Melaka

Congratulations to Guardian Malaysia for celebrating its 51st anniversary this year. In conjunction with this big milestone, Guardian Malaysia has organised it's first ever Wellness Retreat at Philea Resort & Spa, Melaka sometime ago.

I was honoured to be one of the invited media to participate the Guardian Malaysia's Wellness Retreat. We departed at Guardian Malaysia's HQ at Shah Alam on the lovely morning and check-in to the beautiful Philea Resort & Spa at Ayer Keroh, Melaka on the afternoon.

Let's look into each activities that we have participated below;

We were also treated with an immersive performance at Encore Melaka. Directed by Wang Chaoge, whom is the creative force behind the 2008 Olympic Games Opening ceremony, Encore Melaka is a state-of-the-art production from 1st Jul 2018. The 70-minute long mega show recounts the long-forgotten tales: stories of early voyagers, legacy of Cheng Ho's diplomatic mission, indigenous settlement and cross-cultural encounters such as the Baba Nyonya. We were transported through different eras, presented in English, Bahasa Malaysia, Mandarin, Tamil, local dialects and Portugese to reflect the harmony that exists within Melaka.

From the impression theatre building to magnificient 360-degree rotating audience platform facing a 240 metre-long stage with multiple hydraulic stages, along with the great performance from all the 200 local performers, Encore Melaka is indeed a not-to-be missed performance when one is in Melaka.

At the end of the retreat, Guardian Malaysia has chosen 3 top winners and each of them won a special prizes from the brand. Congratulations to all the winners.

Lastly, thanks Guardian Malaysia once again for making the wellness retreat a memorable trip for me. We are so blessed to have you and the generous sponsors like you.
