Top 11 Glamping Sites in Malaysia Where Comfort Meets Nature!
Not everyone is equipped for camping, which is why we’re happy glamping was invented! It’s an upgraded form of camping— instead of being totally disconnected from the world, you can enjoy a nature retreat without sacrificing modern amenities!
It’s exciting to take a vacation while being surrounded by lush trees and the chirping of birds. But I admit I’m not ready to give up bathroom and internet privileges, so glamping’s always my top choice!
Ready to escape the city? Check out our favourite glamping spots in Malaysia. If you’re looking for a luxury site, an off-grid experience, an adventure-filled stay, or a seaside retreat, we’ve got it all!

Take advantage of the many activities you can do, like whitewater rafting, river tubing, paragliding, and jungle trekking. If you want something more relaxing, play board games with the whole family.

Tubotel is not your typical glamping spot. It offers pod-style accommodations on the cliffside that won’t break the bank! Sure, it’s not the glamorous camping you’re probably thinking of, but staying here offers something more unique!
The colourful pods provide all the privacy you need. If you get the seafront view, you’ll be greeted by the stunning scenery of the Andaman Sea first thing in the morning. The pods have the same amenities, like your very own private detached bathroom.
It’s the place where you can meet new people— I mean, the rooms are conversation starters! The restaurant has seafront views and offers fresh seafood, as well as vegan and vegetarian meals.
| Pro Tip: The tubes can only fit up to two people, so we suggest looking into the tube and double-decker rooms if you’re coming in as a family. An extra bed cannot fit in the pods. |

Tips for Choosing the Right Glamping Site
Choosing a glamping site seems easy because they’re all the same, right? Wrong! Glamping destinations have different features— some will have a water heater and some won’t have air conditioning inside the tent.
To ensure you have a stress-free stay, here are tips when choosing the right glamping site:
- Match the glamping site to your preferred activities. See if the site offers a relaxed vibe or if it’s aimed at adventurous activities. Is it adults-only or is it a kid-friendly place?
- Consider the location. Is it accessible from major cities? Is it easy to get to? In case of emergencies, how can you reach the nearby hospital?
- Check the amenities. Glamping is a more comfortable version of camping, so always check the features first because not all will offer the same. Do you want an air conditioner in your tent and are there private or shared bathrooms?
- Factor in the environment. Research the site’s ambience so you can choose the kind of environment you want to stay in. Do you prefer glamping near the river or do you want to stay in the middle of the jungle?
- Read the refund policies. Some glamping sites are non-refundable. So, always check for weather updates and make sure you’re good to go before booking your stay.
