But that doesn't mean everyone wants an exciting break filled with adventure and new discoveries.
Sometimes, you just need to chill, just be yourself and rejuvenate to face the challenges that 2020 doesn't seem to stop dishing out.
If, like us, you too feel like you need to just shut down and reset, here are some places in the country you could do so in comfort.
#1 Mangala Resort and Spa, Pahang
If you feel like indulging and shutting off from the rest of the world, this is the perfect choice.
You get a beautiful villa with a private pool, plenty of greenery surrounding you, a private pool and even a rejuvenating spa session if you choose to go for one.
Leave your worries behind and just be one with the nature. There's plenty to do at the resort itself if you find it in you to leave your comfortable rooms, including archery, kayaking, cycling and picnic.
If you're feeling a little bit more rajin, you can also go on a river cruise, visit the zoo, the Kuala Gandah Elephant Sanctuary, hike to a waterfall and more.
#2 The Sticks, Fraser's Hill
Another place where you don't have to worry about doing anything but chilling. Located near Fraser's Hill, The Stick is serene and quiet, making it the perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city.
You can book a room complete with meals, so you don't even have to worry about driving out to get food.
Bored? Play a board game, go jungle trekking, white water rafting or even paragliding.
Not feeling it? Just lay back and enjoy the nature with a good book or binge watch movies and series. Trust us, this is the perfect place to do so.
#3 Terrapuri, Terengganu
If you love history, you'll love this Terrapuri, The Land of Palaces.
Stay in Malay Classic Houses that dates back to the 17th century, which portrays the best of traditional architecture and carvings.
Flanked by the Sounth China Sea and a mangroove forest, you get to relax amongst nature and might even come up close and personal with birds and other animals that you won't see in the cities.
The beaches are sometimes visited by turtles, so you might just come across some if you're lucky as well.
#4 Fig Tree Hill, Penang
A trip to Penang doesn't have to be all about the food alone. If you wish to just chill and enjoy nature instead, Fig Tree Hill has just what you need.
You'll get plenty of privacy here, where even taking an outdoor shower won't be uncomfortable. If you want luxury, pick a room with a jacuzzi or just head over to the natural mountain water pool for a dip.
If you're just spending a few days on the island, you won't even have to leave the resort but if you do want to, there's plenty to do and see in Penang.
There are even durian farms nearby if you'd like some local fruits.
#5 Sekeping Serendah, Selangor
Another nature retreat that will help calm your nerves and hopefully, help you face the next week with a better mindframe.
This place is especially great for families as the accomodations can fit a larger group.
You can have barbeques, take a dip in the pool or at the waterfall nearby and just bond with your family away from the usual envirnonment at home.
The best part? It's super close to places like Genting Highlands, Sungai Chilling and Fraser's Hill as well so you can plan a day trip at any point if you wish to as well.
