With that being said, amidst Malaysia’s spectacular views, cultures, and interests, we’ve compiled a list of our top seven sites in Malaysia that will have you saying (or screaming), YES!
1. Glamz, Pahang
Picture this—laying in the arms of your loved ones after they’ve popped the big question while stargazing under the bright moonlight, discussing what’s next? Glamz at Genting Highlands is a lodging experience like no other, and it’s set in the cool mountains.
It provides a laid-back glamping atmosphere for lovers wishing to flee the buzz and bustle of the city, covered in cool mist every dark evening and morning. Nothing screams romance more than this.
