Weekend Zen

If the thought of another weekend in the city has you down and you’re looking for a short escape to rejuvenate your mind and spirit, consider these eco-minded getaway retreats – all located just a short and easy driving distance from Kuala Lumpur.

 

Living in the city certainly hasits perks – better salary, higher standard of living, exceptional infrastructure and facilities, and excellent range of attractions and entertainment, just to name a few. This is probably why many people jump at the opportunity to move to the city if they’re given the chance.

But, at the same time, staying in the city also comes with disadvantages – high pressure and stress in the workplace, fast-paced living, frustrating traffic, higher costs of living, and being part of an at-times exhausting rat race are some of the downsides to living in the city.

One way to curb this is to go for a short and relaxing weekend getaway. When you need to decompress, the last thing that you want to do is to go through the hassle of flying somewhere far away or embarking on a long road trip.

So with that in mind, here are our recommendations for some retreats in Malaysia that are all within a two-hour drive from KL:
