If you’re looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of daily city life for a weekend, you don’t have to travel too far away. Kuala Lumpur and a few areas outside of the capital play home to some great places for weekend escapes.
The Smart Local has come up with a compilation of the best retreats you can find in Malaysia. Here are four resorts from the list that are located in and nearby KL city:
Sekeping Serendah, Selangor
Wake up to the natural sounds of chirping birds and dreamy daylight in Sekeping Serendah – your best choice if you want an express weekend getaway from Kuala Lumpur. Only about an hour’s drive from the city, Sekeping Serendah offers a secluded escape and a captivating stay at its iconic glass house among many other chalet concepts.
You can expect to be rejuvenated at the end of the day because this “glamping” retreat offers a wide range of exciting activities such as jungle trekking, fishing along the lake, and visiting the International Orchid Farmville farm. Golfers should also seize this opportunity to visit the Serendah Golf Course and indulge in a leisure game.
Sekeping has many other retreat concepts plotted all over Malaysia from as near as Taman Paramount to Bangsar for all your rejuvenation needs.

Templer Park Rainforest Retreat, Rawang
Malaysia is rich with rainforest all over the country; what better way than to enjoy it than out lounging by the infinity pool overlooking Bukit Takun. Made with everyone’s enjoyment in mind, this is the perfect place for a chilling afternoon amongst the natural environment and you can even hold events here. Although it may seem remote and far from our beloved KL city, Templar’s Park Rainforest Retreat is actually minutes away and easily accessible from KL.
Price: From RM 600.00
Address: No 23, Jalan 3/2, Templer Heights, Templer Park, Rawang, Selangor

Kuang Kampung Retreat, Sungai Buloh
Price: From RM 960
While this home may appear to be just another timber wood house like every other resort, this house actually tells a story far deeper than its facade. The architect couple who built this furnished this home with a goal of shining the limelight on Malaysian heritage – picking out antique furnitures each with its own tale from the past. Entice yourself to a piece of history and lay back in their pristine pool for a retreat into paradise.
Price: From RM 960.00
Address: Lorong Orkid, Kuang, 47000 Sungai Buloh, KL, Malaysia
