The Indian state of Goa has long been a traveller favourite. Just east of Panaji, the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Old Goa takes visitors back in time and gives a sense of what life was like in the former principal city of the Portuguese eastern empire. For more architecture heritage and culture, take a stroll along the old Latin Quarter of Fontainhas. After a long day of exploring, unwind along the tranquil shores of Candolim Beach. With a user rating of 4.8 out of 5 and with rooms starting from as low as RM 208 a night, the La Maison Fontainhas, Panaji is recommended.
Look no further than Luang Prabang in northern Laos for an exotic destination that’s closer to home. Set 700 meters above sea level and at the confluence of the Nam Khan and Mekong River, this UNESCO World Heritage City offers plenty of things to do. Spend a day visiting some of the city’s 32 shimmering temples like Vat Vixoun, Vat Xieng Thong and Vat Sene or take a hike up Mount Phousi to soak in some panoramic views. The city’s markets offer some of the best local gastronomic experiences in Luang Prabang and is good value for money. The Le Bel Air Boutique Resort and Villa is popular as it not only received a 4.6 out of 5-star guest rating, rooms start from as little as RM307 a night.
Last on the list is the island province of Cebu in the Philippines and it is everything you’d expect from a bustling metropolis. Cebu has a rich history that’s well documented in several museums such as the Museo Sugbo. For the night owl, the district of Lahug comes alive at night with countless bars and clubs. For accommodation, the MJ Hotel & Suites, Cebu is recommended as it’s not only in the heart as Cebu, room prices start from as low as RM180 per night. This hotel has a 4.2 out of 5 guest star rating.
