Best Luxury Hotels in Melaka
The capital of the coastal state of the same name, this is a UNESCO World Heritage city. Easily reachable from Kuala Lumpur (so ideal for a dual city break), Malacca’s hub is found on Jonker Street in Chinatown, where you can see temples, mosques, and stop by one of the bustling night markets for some street food delicacies such as satay celup and ayam pong teh. Listen out for the sounds of Malacca Portuguese Creole, the region’s indigenous and endangered language. Exploring on foot is easy, but it’s fun to hop on a trishaw (and you’ll cover more ground).
