Are you dreaming of your next vacation in 2022? As this year draws to a close, it’s time to start planning your next getaway! Since international travels are still limited, how about spending it in luxurious resorts instead? Soak in the sun, dip your toes in the sand and watch the sunset as your worries melt away.

Here are 5 luxurious resorts in Malaysia to add to your travel list:
Villa Samadhi, Kuala Lumpur
I can’t believe a sanctuary like this exists in the heart of Kuala Lumpur! Once you step inside, it’s like you’re in a private getaway away from the bustle of the city. What’s not to love about this place? Inspired by Malay architecture, each villa is rustic and charming. Choose from the Crib, Sarang or The Loft (aka honeymoon suite). The best part about this hotel – the lagoon. Just step out of your room and take a dip in this pool, the ‘life zone’ of the villa. It’s a private and tranquil stay, perfect for a romantic getaway!
The Haven Resorts, Ipoh
Although it’s about 20 mins away from Ipoh’s town, it’s a great place to stay in Ipoh! This 5-star resort is home to limestone structures, lush green forest, furry friends (yes, there are monkeys around so be on the lookout) and a large lake. Each room comes with a cosy living area, functioning kitchen and a balcony area with a view. Whether it’s taking a swim in the seahorse pool or having quiet time by the lake, there’s something to do for every age.
Tiara Escape, Janda Baik
It’s time for luxurious glamping 101 with Tiara Escape! Escape to this rainforest retreat in Janda Baik and stay in safari-style tents and treetop villas. Choose from a plethora of activities – nature walks and bird watching, riverside picnic (prepared by rangers), Plant A Tree (a great way to educate the young children about nature), sit by the bonfire while the sun sets, and snuggle together under the moonlight to watch movies on the big screen.

The Kasturi Resort, Kuantan
This slice of paradise is about three hours away from Kuala Lumpur! Located at Chendor Beach Pahang, this five-star beach resort beckons you. Each charming chalet comes with a private pool and deck and is modelled after traditional Malay architecture. With the beach on one side and the forest on the other, what better way to unwind? Take a 7-min drive to Rimbun Dahan Turtle Hatchery, an environmental conservation centre that supports the conservation of endangered sea turtles and native terrapins.
