People around the world are feeling the effects of COVID-19, and many have begun practicing social distancing as well as quarantining. Isolation may seem simple, but after only a few days being trapped at home with family, many are beginning to look for an escape.

If you’re looking for a quick getaway to reward yourself after the Movement Control Order comes to an end, and do not wish to travel far for it, no worries! Here are some hidden gems for a staycation in Kuala Lumpur that could be just as amazing as travelling out for a vacation.
