Here are six of the most Instagram-worthy accommodations in Malaysia.
#1 Tiarasa Escapes
We’ve seen a lot of glamping set ups in Malaysia, but none could compare to the level of luxe Tiarasa Escapes offers. We immediately fell in love with the contemporary interior of the tents and the tropical environment. It exudes a bit of a Jumanji-jungle-explorer-vibe but in the most relaxing manner.
The best part is that they’ve curated some activities for you – from having a picnic near the river to watching a movie under the stars, or you could just stargaze! Definitely a perfect place to unwind and take plenty of photos.
Location: Jalan Enderong, Sum Sum Ulu, Kampung Janda Baik, Bentong, Pahang
Price per night: Between RM990 – RM1,645 depending on accommodation type

#2 Semimpi-Mimpi
This place is literally every Instagrammer’s mimpi (dream) come true. Each unit has its own flair and is covered in Insta-worthy details – including its bathroom! Stepping into each room or living room looks like a beautiful art project and screams fun but most importantly, it looks super cosy. Minimalist to fun prints adorn each corner of the house.

#3 45 Lekiu
Don’t let the price tag fool you, as you’ll be getting not just one room, but the whole place to yourself! 45 Lekiu is literally named after its location as it is smacked in the heart of Malacca town and five minutes away from the popular Jonker Walk. 45 Lekiu offers a rustic, industrial charm equipped with a hot tub (just steps away from your bedroom) and a super-cool swimming pool. And can we just say that their rooftop is #goals? You can lepak there and stargaze at night.

#4 Bon Ton Resorts
This tropical gem oozes amazing kampung vibes with modern amenities. Each villa is located in a cosy kampung house surrounded by towering lush coconut trees. You can take a dip in the pool located right in front of each villa’s doorsteps or you could walk along the white sandy beach which is just minutes away.
We love the traditional interior that reminds us of some classic Baba Nyonya houses in Malacca. No matter where you are – inside or outside the villa, lounging by the pool, or even relaxing in the tub - each setting guarantees to be a picture-perfect one that’ll leave your Instagram followers green with envy.
Location: Lot 1047, Pantai Cenang, Langkawi, Kedah

#5 Gold 3 Boutique Hotel
Nestled in the heart of Bukit Bintang is this shimmering boutique hotel, making it the perfect location for a staycation. We adore the minimalistic rooms which features a touch of colour (gold or yellow, obviously) to make the room a little livelier. Their hotel lobby and lounge will steal your heart as it has tonnes of cool antique cameras and memorabilia from other eras adorning their walls.
Location: Lot B5, Fahrenheit 88, 179 Jalan Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur
Price per night: Between RM128 – RM300 depending on room type

#6 Kai Joo Suites
When we first heard the name from a friend, we thought it was spelled ‘kaiju’, which means monster in Japanese. But one look at this place is anything but monstrosity. If you’re planning to head to the land of cats – Kuching, Sarawak - you should consider staying here. Some might say it’s a tad too simple but we love the little details such as the wooden flooring, wooden traditional windows and cosy bedding that remind us of home.
Location: Lane Building, 29 Lorong Kai Joo, Kuching, Sarawak
Price per night: Between RM160 – RM200 depending on room type
