Places to Visit in Malaysia To Make You Feel Like You're Overseas

Who says you need to head overseas to have a good time? Malaysia is a beautiful country and we have our fair share of gorgeous sandy beaches and spectacular hotels. We rounded up some alternatives for you to book if you have some annual leave days to use up for the year. Holiday mood: on!

If you like Bali...

Add The Shorea, Negeri Sembilan to your list instead. Bali would usually be the last thing on people’s minds when you mention Negeri Sembilan but this nature retreat offers a rustic yet ‘atas’ experience with its air-conditioned wood villas.

The best part about this place are the infinity pools that look out onto lush greens, where you can splurge on rooms with direct access. If you really want to go all out, add on a floating breakfast experience and enjoy your morning coffee in style!

If you like the Maldives...

Pulau Rawa, Mersing, Johor? Our bodies are at the office, but our minds are already there! You don’t have to visit Pulau Langkawi or Pulau Perhentian which is usually bustling with tourists all year round. This private island is only a 30-minute boat ride from the mainland. Snorkel at natural coral reefs at the Rawa Island Resort or just lie back and soak up some rays. Mmm, sounds like paradise!

If you like the Bahamas...

Pack your bags and head to Pulau Sipadan, Sabah. When this came up on our Instagram feed, we couldn’t believe our eyes. A resort like this in Malaysia?

The Sipadan-Kapalai Dive Resort is truly breath-taking as it is made to look like a floating village with a chain of chalets linked by wooden walkways. With a mile-long sandbank, brilliant turquoise waves, and dive spots only a few minutes away, you’ll never want to leave!

BRB, we're going to book our flight tickets. Hopefully on MYAirline.
