Four Amazing Malaysian Holiday Retreats

TRANQUIL BLISS FOR A FOODIE AT HEART

Negeri Sembilan is a relatively quiet state known for its secluded retreats and fruit orchards. Put your photography skills to good use during your stay at The Dusun or Awanmulan. Enjoy a little bit of both worlds by taking a short road trip to Seremban town if you haven’t already discovered the unique flavors of the local delicacies.

8 THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT NEGERI SEMBILAN AND THE DUSUN:

1. The Tembusu house is the original Dusun house. Guests can enjoy an hour of traditional massage at the respective houses for RM180.

2. The Dusun includes a traditional Malay house named after the Malay word for gold (Emas). The house is made of recycled wood. The house basks beneath the shade of trees, and also features shutter windows which let you stay cool and enjoy the natural breeze from indoors.

3. As with each house at The Dusun, Sora possesses its own unique features. The villa was designed with a modern touch to it. Guests can experience the blissful tranquillity of a bamboo garden and a plunge pool.

4. A good pair of shoes take you to good places. Tie up your shoelaces and make good use of the pathways, created just for the adventurous. Visitors can explore the forest or go on a bird discovery walk, or even jungle trek towards a beautiful waterfall.

5. Minangkabau settlers from Sumatra lived in Negeri Sembilan in the 15th century. You can learn how to cook traditional Minangkabau cuisine at just RM30 per person.

6. What better way to sharpen your photography skills than to learn the ropes from seasoned photographer Nikt Wong?
