  • Palace of the Golden Horses - a luxury hotel;

  • Mines Wellness Hotel - healthcare-oriented hotel;

  • Golden Horses Health Sanctuary;

  • The Mines shopping mall[1];

  • Mines Waterfront Business Park;

  • Mines Resort & Golf Club;

History


The current Mines Wellness City was formerly the site of the Hong Fatt Mine, which was the largest opencast tin mine in the world, covering 1,300 acres (530 ha), including the lakes. The Malaysian Government alienated the land to Country Heights Holdings Bhd (CHHB) on 30 March 1988 for recreational and tourism purposes. Country Heights Holdings Berhad is founded by Y.Bhg. Tan Sri Dato' Paduka Lee Kim Yew and incorporated officially on 10 May 1984 under a private limited company with the name of Kurniata Sdn Bhd.[5]



Facilities


In order to complement the tourism theme, a five-star hotel, the Palace of the Golden Horses [1] with a distinctive architectural design and Mines Wellness Hotel [2] (formerly known as The Mines Beach Resort and Spa) with a man-made beach and swimming lagoon were built. A leading Health Screening Centre and Traditional Chinese Medicine Centre was also located in Mines Wellness City.


Other components of development completed to date within the Mines Resort City are the Mines shopping mall and a former theme park named Mines Wonderland (operated between 1997 and 2011). In March 2010, CapitaMalls Asia has re-branded Mines Shopping Fair to a contemporary neighborhood shopping mall with a major upgrading work, including additional retail space, revamping the carpark system, changing new wash rooms, creating additional link bridges and new sets of escalators inside the mall.[6][7][8]



Economic Transformation Programme


The transformation of Mines Wellness City into the nation's very first Wellness City is part of the government’s Economic Transformation Plan (ETP) which is spearheaded by PEMANDU (Performance Management and Delivery Unit), under the Prime Minister’s Department. By the year 2020, the City is envisioned to be a RM 5.5 billion development, playing a central role in tourism and becoming the foremost wellness destination in the country.[9]
