Malino Highlands is one of South Sulawesi’s most beautiful hill resorts, located about 90
kilometers from Makassar. Known for its cool climate, green tea plantations, and
panoramic mountain views, it’s a peaceful retreat away from the city’s heat and bustle. The
area sits at an altitude of over 1,000 meters, offering fresh air and a refreshing natural
landscape filled with pine trees, waterfalls, and flower gardens.
Visitors can explore the tea plantations, enjoy scenic walks through pine forests, or relax
at the charming cafes overlooking the valleys. Malino Highlands is also famous for its local
strawberries, orchids, and high-quality tea production.
