Planning for a getaway?
Hey readers (if there is any),It's the end year and most of us are planning for a short getaway (I'm so good at planning and all.haha!) or somewhat like escapism.Where to go?What's the budget like?Well, to tell you the truth, the nearest will be our neighbour, Malaysia!And I have like a list to visit, some which I've visited before (Pulau Perhentian has been missed for so long!)
1. Sekeping Retreats
Sekeping Retreats now have numerous retreat centers in various places including KL, Petaling Jaya, Bangsar, Ipoh and Penang. Sekeping Serendah is the most recommended and best rated place as it brings you closer to nature, allowing you to be mesmerized by the beauty of its surrounding.
2. Awanmulan
Apart from Sekeping Serendah, Awanmulan is an alternative place for you to truly experience life in a rainforest. Living in the nature has never been this lovely! The retreat in Negeri Sembilan is intentionally basic with natural environment surrounding the building.
3. Banjaran Hotsprings
Banjaran Hotsprings provides a wonderful spa experience with its geothermal hot springs and a naturally heated swimming pool as well as a steam cave and ice baths. Located in the deep rainforest in Ipoh City, it is a two hour drive from city of KL. 4. Perhentian IslandFor some, a perfect retreat getaway involves sun-drenched beaches with refreshing breeze. Perhentian Island is one of the best scuba diving and snorkeling spots in Malaysia, and it offers numerous affordable choices of accommodation. The sea water is crystal clear and most beaches are well-facilitated. Located at the west of Perhentian Besar in Terengganu, it takes approximately seven hours or less to reach the destination if you’re driving from KL. You can also take a flight to Kota Bharu Airport.
5. Bagus Place Retreat, Pulau TiomanSimilar to Perhentian Island, the beautiful Tioman Island is also another option for island lovers. Bagus Place Retreat in Tioman Island provides you an unforgettable holiday experience with its peaceful sanctuary of breathtaking sea view and beautiful white sand beaches. The water sports offer at the Bagus Place Retreat includes kayaking, paddling, diving and snorkeling. Jungle trekking and rock-pooling are available as well.
6. Sipadan Island
Away from hustle and bustle of city life, Sipadan Island is a diving paradise and a protected marine park. One of the notable features of Sipadan Island is the underwater turtle tomb that houses many skeletal remains of turtles. Located in Sabah, it is the best beach holiday for beach bummers!(like me :p)
7. Samadhi Retreat
Samadhi Retreat is a one-of-a-kind private retreat located at two different places: Japamala Resorts in Tioman Island and Villa Samadhi in KL. The retreat sanctuary is intentionally hidden from the street view in KL and the exotic dรฉcor is its most distinguishing feature. The Samadhi Retreat at Japamala Resorts, on the other hand, offers absolute harmony without any stressful or annoying interruption. A number of water-based activities are provided as well including kayaking, diving and just exploring the island.
8. Spa Village
The Spa Village is available at seven locations in Malaysia, and each location provides similar unique retreat experience but with different kinds of spa treatments. The award-winning spa village in Cameron Highlands features its signature tea bath before every treatment. The tea bath can help to relieve stress and slow down the aging process.
