Planning the perfect family holiday can sometimes feel like juggling flaming torches, but don’t worry, because Malaysia has you covered. It’s the ultimate destination for kids and adults alike and here are some practical tips to make your adventure unforgettable (and tantrum-free)!
Choose the Ideal Destination
Malaysia offers a range of destinations to suit every family’s vibe, from bustling cities to laidback beaches. For the best of both worlds, consider Sepang which is a great place to bring your loved ones. You can look forward to plenty of time in the sun, sand, and surf, while cosmopolitan Kuala Lumpur with its many attractions can be easily reached on a memorable excursion.
Find a Family-Friendly Resort
Once you have selected the destination (preferably Sepang!), it’s time to find the right place to stay with options like Avani Sepang Goldcoast Resort being ideal. Here, you can unwind by the coast at a Sepang family villa with plenty of space and comforts. Apart from onsite dining, such properties also offer a kids’ club packed with activities and while the little ones are off making new friends, parents can indulge in a spa session. Everyone wins!
Plan Enriching Escapades
Keep the whole family entertained with activities that are fun and enriching. Spend time at the beach building sandcastles and playing games. Try stand-up paddleboarding and kayaking as well as archery, ATV rides and cycling. In places like Sepang, you can also go on a cruise to explore thriving mangroves, enjoy eco-friendly activities such as planting dragon fruit trees and visit a honey farm.
Make a Packing Checklist
Avoid the dreaded “I forgot the charger!” moment by making a thorough packing list. Light cotton clothes for the tropical weather? Check. Sunscreen, snacks, colouring books, and portable games? Check. A first aid kit and prescription meds? Double-check! And don’t forget chargers and a universal adaptor, because even the best holidays need fully charged devices.
