Be it a spontaneous one or a planned trip with the girls, one can never have too many holidays; it’s just impossible. And suppose you and your pals desperately need a getaway and aren’t too keen on travelling far away from Kuala Lumpur. In that case, Selangor has plenty to offer: from industrial-chic estates to theme parks and a bustling food scene, you won’t have to travel far to catch a much-needed break.
You can also find pool villas to rent for ultimate privacy, relaxation, and a much-needed quiet getaway with your gal pals; here are some worth checking out.
1. Carpe Diem Orchard Home, Serendah

Giving a proper ‘balik kampung‘ feel, this accommodation can house up to 15 people; big groups can take full advantage of this. There are also barbecue amenities, which makes firing up the grill with friends easy.
Check out the little orchard nearby if you’re in the mood for some tasty tropical fruits. A 15-minute drive will take you to Serendah Waterfall if you and your group feel like taking a cold splash outside the villa.
We’re not done. Animal lovers, get your dose of dopamine at the small petting zoo on the premise. At Carpe Diem, you can indeed seize the day and have it all.
