Borneo Oasis brings a welcome pause to a Genting Highlands visit: a massage appointment in Gohtong Jaya, with treatments inspired by Malaysian and Thai traditions. The entry option is a 60-minute foot and shoulder massage, while longer sessions cover full-body work and other combinations.
I like the choice between a quick, lower-cost treatment and a longer massage, and the practical opening hours, daily from 11 a.m. until midnight. One thing to plan for: the outlet can be tricky to locate, so use the address and its Hotel Seri Malaysia landmark, and allow time to arrive before your appointment.

Key points
- The basic treatment lasts 60 minutes: It focuses on feet and shoulders, a compact choice if you want a restorative break rather than a lengthy full-body session.
- The menu reflects local and regional massage styles: Options include Signature Urutan Malaysia, Royal Thai or Deep Tissue Tui Na, and aromatherapy.
- Book before you go: You need to reserve a date and time directly by phone or WhatsApp.
- The outlet is in Gohtong Jaya: Look for 4, Jalan Jati 1, on the same stretch as Hotel Seri Malaysia.
- Arrive promptly: Your appointment is held for 15 minutes. A later arrival can mean cancellation and a single reschedule.
- The value is strongest if you want a focused treatment: Prices vary by package, and all listed prices include 8% SST.
A highland break with a Malaysian wellness focus
Genting Highlands is known for its cooler setting and leisure stops. Borneo Oasis offers a different sort of pause: time set aside for massage, with a menu that includes a Malaysian signature treatment as well as Thai and aromatherapy options. It is a practical choice if your legs or shoulders could use attention during a stay in the area.
The centre presents its work as a tribute to Malaysia’s cultural diversity and healing heritage. The menu gives that idea some shape: Signature Urutan Malaysia offers a local-style full-body treatment, while Thai massage and Deep Tissue Tui Na provide other approaches. The details of each technique are not specified, so if pressure, positioning, or a health concern matters to you, ask the staff before you book.
The venue is at Borneo Oasis @ Gohtong Jaya, at 4, Jalan Jati 1, Taman Gohtong Jaya, Genting Highlands. It is described as being on the same stretch as Hotel Seri Malaysia. That landmark is useful, but the location has been noted as a little hard to find or reach, so check the map and give yourself time to locate the entrance.
The setting is part of the appeal, but don’t book solely on the promise of a view. The experience is primarily about the treatment itself, and the available details do not specify what you can see from the massage rooms.

Choosing the 60-minute foot and shoulder session
The included treatment is a 60-minute foot and shoulder massage. It suits you if you want a shorter session, have limited time, or prefer attention to those areas instead of a full-body treatment. It is also the lowest-priced option on the menu, though prices shown in the supplied information differ: the overall starting price is US$19.19, while the detailed package price for this treatment is US$17.45. Check the final amount when booking.
A focused session can make sense after a day on your feet or a long drive, but it is not a substitute for the full-body options if you want broader treatment. You can also choose a 90-minute Foot, Shoulder & Back Massage for US$28.45, which adds the back and gives you half an hour more.
The available treatment descriptions do not say how the session is structured or whether you can request a particular pressure level. If you have a preference, tell the operator when reserving and again before treatment begins. Customers cannot bring their own massage oil or balm, and any added aroma oil, balm, treatment, or product costs extra.
Longer massages and the treatment menu
If you want more time or a different approach, the menu includes several 90-minute packages:
- Signature Urutan Malaysia, full body: from US$35.09.
- Aromatherapy, full body: from US$35.79.
- Royal Thai or Deep Tissue Tui Na, full body: from US$30.65.
- Back, Neck & Head Massage: from US$32.85.
- Foot, Shoulder & Back Massage: from US$28.45.
These options let you match the treatment to your priorities. Choose a full-body package if you want more coverage; pick the back, neck, and head treatment if those areas are your main concern. The Thai or Tui Na option is described as deep tissue, which makes it especially important to discuss pressure and any relevant health conditions before the session.
The Malaysian signature massage is the most distinctive choice if local wellness traditions are part of your interest. It lasts 90 minutes, so allow more time than you would for the basic foot and shoulder treatment. The name suggests a local focus, but the available details do not explain the method step by step. Ask the centre what to expect if you want that information before committing.
Aromatherapy is another full-body option, but any additional aroma oil or balm beyond what is included in your purchased treatment is charged separately. Confirm what the selected package covers rather than assuming add-ons are part of the price.
What the appointment is like
There is no multi-stop itinerary here. You arrive at the Gohtong Jaya outlet for your booked treatment, then spend the session receiving the massage you selected. That simplicity is useful: you can fit the visit around other plans without setting aside half a day, though a 90-minute package naturally needs more time.
The operating hours are broad, with the outlet open every day from 11 a.m. to midnight. Still, you must reserve in advance for your preferred time. You can call +603-3385 5515 or message +6011-6565 8989 or +6013-369 2386. Same-day arrangements may be possible: people have successfully contacted the centre first and then purchased the voucher once the time was confirmed. Do not assume a same-day slot is available, however. Get confirmation from the outlet before buying.
Plan to arrive on time. The appointment is held for only 15 minutes, after which the reservation can be cancelled; only one reschedule is allowed. The voucher is valid for 60 days from booking confirmation, but it cannot be extended. Those rules are manageable if you plan ahead, less forgiving if your schedule is uncertain.
The centre has been described as clean and comfortable, with a calm atmosphere. A customer who booked the 60-minute treatment also noted ginger tea or mineral water after the massage. Treat that as a possible extra rather than a guaranteed part of every visit.
Price, value, and the fine print
The price makes most sense when you compare session length and coverage. The 60-minute foot and shoulder option is the most affordable, while 90-minute full-body treatments cost more but give you a longer appointment and broader treatment. Every listed price includes 8% SST, which makes the quoted amount easier to compare, though extra products or treatments are separate purchases.
There is a small pricing discrepancy in the supplied figures: the experience is advertised from US$19.19, while the detailed package price for the 60-minute treatment is US$17.45. Treat both as guide prices and confirm the total at checkout. The exact package you select matters, and the voucher is valid only for the treatment and outlet purchased.
The strongest points are consistent across the available feedback: therapists are described as professional and skilled, the setting as comfortable and clean, and the price as reasonable for Genting Highlands. One customer said a full group of seven enjoyed their sessions, which suggests the outlet can work for a small party, but you should contact the centre to confirm availability for your group and preferred time.
There are limits to keep in mind. No cancellations or refunds are allowed, so secure your appointment and check your plans before purchasing. The activity is for participants aged 16 and older, is not allowed for pregnant women, and is not recommended for anyone with impaired physical mobility. You are responsible for telling the operator about any special health conditions; the operator does not accept responsibility for adverse effects that may arise from treatment.
Who should book this massage
I’d consider Borneo Oasis if you want a massage near Genting Highlands, value a choice of local and regional styles, and can commit to a reserved time. The 60-minute foot and shoulder session is a sensible pick for a short restorative stop. If you want a full-body treatment or have a specific area in mind, the longer menu gives you more scope.
It is less suited to anyone who needs flexible cancellation, has uncertain plans, or cannot comfortably reach the outlet. The location may take a little effort to find, and the strict arrival window means you should not leave the search until the last minute. Pregnant visitors cannot take part, and anyone with a health concern or limited mobility should check suitability with the centre first.
For the best chance of a smooth visit, contact the outlet before purchasing, confirm your chosen treatment and time, and use the Hotel Seri Malaysia landmark to find the address. If the timing works and a massage is what you need, this is a useful, reasonably priced way to take a break in Gohtong Jaya.
