Make this Parents' Day special by treating your parents to a relaxing, romantic, and adventurous staycation. Whether you want to indulge in the city, unwind in nature, have fun with the kids, or be pampered, the hotels in Malaysia have developed special packages to make you feel special. Here are seven of the best staycation ideas to thrill your parents.
The Banjaran is the first natural hot springs luxury retreat in Malaysia, nestled in a green limestone valley only 15 minutes away from Ipoh. It provides an adults-only retreat with its own private villas, geothermal hot springs, meditation caves, and jungle pathways. The highlight of it all is Jeff Cellar, a fine restaurant located in a 260-million-year-old limestone cave. This is a perfect staycation to spend time with the parents, relaxing and recovering in the natural environment of a spa, which is built on traditional Malaysian wellness.
Situated in the transit centre of KL, Aloft is ideal to stay in case you are a parent who loves convenience, contemporary design, and a little indulgence. Their Parental Re:charge package comes with a comfortable stay in their signature loft-inspired rooms, buffet breakfast for two, and a special Sizzle n Soak bath bomb and foot soak kit to help your parents relax after a hard day. It is a fun but relaxing city escape because of the rooftop pool, colourful restaurants, and proximity to shopping malls and museums.
This is a boutique-type hotel in Subang Jaya where you can indulge your parents in a beautiful rooftop experience at SKY 360, where you can have a beautiful high tea at only RM68 nett per couple. It is a lovely bonding place with a cosy setting and a view of the skyline. It is particularly a good place to visit when one wants to keep it simple but still considerate, and it would be an excellent place to visit when one wants to have a surprise lunch party with some tasty snacks, hot tea, and the best views of the city.
Lexis Port Dickson and Lexis Suites Penang are characterised by large villas, most of them with their own pools and sea views. They have Family Getaway Packages, which usually contain breakfast, high tea, dinner, bike hire, board games, and even children's play tents and console games in-room. It is a healthy, versatile alternative to families with younger children or multigenerational families that seek to make happy memories, and at the same time provide the parents with a chance to unwind in a luxurious environment.
This hotel of the colonial era adds beauty and peace to the urban centre. The parents are able to relax with an elegant afternoon tea in the Orchid Conservatory, in the midst of flowering plants, or to have a treatment at the Majestic Spa, which is inspired by the golden age of travel. The atmosphere is ideal for the parents who value heritage, beauty and elegant hospitality. Top it off with a walk around the local Lake Gardens to have a well-balanced and luxurious day.
Both hotels offer a similarly well-rounded city experience, as they are located next to KLCC and Pavilion KL. Mandarin Oriental features views of KLCC Park, fine dining restaurants and a luxury spa. Among its other features, the Grand Millennium offers family-friendly suites with easy access to the shopping and entertainment districts. Both properties have children’s pools and babysitting services, which is a wonderful advantage for parents who would like to relax but still want to be within close proximity to the hustle and bustle. Both hotels will suit parents travelling with kids, as well as those who would like to be in the heart of the action.
Nestled along the tranquil coast of Pahang, Club Med Cherating is an all-inclusive resort that is entirely all-inclusive and a perfect opportunity to celebrate Parents’ Day for families. Sports and activities for all ages—we're talking about archery, trapeze, yoga, sailing and nature treks—combined with kids' clubs and babysitting, make for a stress-free trip for all members of the family. Parents can leave the kids in a safe environment while they laze on the beach, go for wellness treatments, or dine on international food. Club Med is a lively, fun-filled getaway for energetic families looking for an adventure, connection and a way to recharge.
