Back-to-back Holidays: Where to Unwind Post-Raya with Agoda
From a month of fasting to a whirlwind of reunions, house-hopping, and festive feasting, the Raya season is as joyful as it is hectic. After the celebrations, a quick weekend getaway could be the perfect remedy to rest and recharge.
Whether it’s a beachside retreat, a wellness reset, or a nature escape, Agoda makes it easy to find the perfect place to unwind and rejuvenate.
Fabian Teja, Country Director Malaysia and Brunei at Agoda said: “For those looking to relax after the festivities of Hari Raya, a weekend escape can be the ideal way to refresh. At Agoda, we believe that rest isn’t just a luxury, it’s a necessity for well-being.
“That’s why we’re committed to making travel more accessible and offer great stays at affordable prices to help Malaysians recharge.”
With several long weekends ahead, it’s the perfect time to kick off a holiday after the holidays. Here are some of the best destinations to reset and find balance:
1. Perak – Hot Springs and Healing Waters
After weeks of gatherings, nothing soothes the body and mind like a rejuvenating soak in nature’s own spa. Perak, home to some of Malaysia’s renowned natural hot springs, offers the perfect setting for a wellness retreat. Nestled among lush greenery and limestone hills, these geothermal springs provide a therapeutic escape, known for their mineral-rich waters that ease muscle tension and promote relaxation.
2. Pulau Tenggol – Beachside Bliss
Malaysia boasts an abundance of sandy beaches, making it the perfect escape from bustling family gatherings. Trade the noise for the soothing scent of saltwater and fee the ocean breeze on Pulau Tenggol, a lesser-known island compared to Perhentian or Redang, offering the peace and quiet that’s much needed after the festivities.
3. Cameron Highlands – Highland Haven
For those who find solace in nature, take a slow drive up to Cameron Highlands and soak in its therapeutic scenic views of rolling tea plantations and misty hills. After the lively buzz of family reunions, swap laughter-filled rooms for the calming sounds of rustling leaves and crisp mountain air to fully immerse in nature’s tranquility.
4. Kuala Lumpur – Urban Oasis
If the travel quota is maxed out, a weekend in Kuala Lumpur can offer just as much downtime as an out-of-town escape. The city is home to hotels that offer more than just a place to stay, think calming interiors with lush indoor greenery, wellness-focused spaces with yoga and meditation sessions, and artist-inspired rooms designed for quiet reflection.
Whether it’s indulging in a spa session, enjoying a leisurely brunch, or simply staying in bed all day with room service and a good book, a city break can be just as calming.
Malaysians looking for a well-earned break can browse over 5 million holiday properties worldwide and more than 300,000 activities on Agoda, ensuring a seamless transition from festive mode to full relaxation.
