7 Amazing Places to Vacation at in Malaysia

7 Amazing Places to Vacation at in Malaysia


Please forget to bring your passport and flight tickets.

Forget Paris and Hollywood land (okay, maybe don’t but let’s just put them aside) because if you’re really looking for a relaxing getaway, we say there’s no place better than home: Malaysia. We’ve listed down a range of spots within the country where you can just turn off and unwind for a few days.

 WITHIN KUALA LUMPUR 
villa samadhi
Villa Samadhi
Despite being 10 mins from the heart of KL, this villa residence is akin to a retreat within a retreat, where privacy and comfort is ensured. Especially perfect for couples, some rooms even come with a modern kitchen, a private garden or even a private Jacuzzi!
Psst… TripAdvisor rated it #2 of 245 hotels in Kuala Lumpur.

Anggun Boutique Hotel
A hidden gem within the Golden Triangle, the cool retreat is as its name perfectly describes it: elegant. With the designs and furnishings (handmade, by the way) of a good ol’ Malaysian house, you’ll definitely feel at home instantly!

Psst… There are also waterfalls, Orang Asli villages, fishing lakes, the Serendah golf course and jungle treks available nearby for you to explore.
