Planning a holiday with little ones in tow can prove to be challenging. Where to go? What to do? How to get there? Children require entertainment, supervision, and a lot of wet wipes to keep sticky fingers clean. Here at Fave, we understand the challenges you face when figuring out a family getaway, especially during the school holidays. So why not check out some of these family-friendly hotels and activities in Malacca?
1. Bayou Lagoon Park Resort
Kids and parents alike will delight in the fact that this resort comes with its very own water theme park to enjoy. Instead of driving in and out of the city, just take a quick jaunt downstairs and let your kids run wild. Parents can lounge on a manmade beach and take breezy naps under the sun. Slide down brightly-coloured slides, splash around in one of the many pools available, and munch on poolside treats to beat the summer heat.
2. Gold Coast Malacca International Resort
Sticking to the theme of getting wet and wild, Gold Coast Malacca International Resort is easily spotted by those not local to the area. Perched along the front of the resort is the signature sailing ship, Admiral Cheng Ho, which makes an ideal background to a Kodak moment of your holiday. With a multitude of apartment suites to choose from, your family can spend time together splashing around in the wave pool, jacuzzi, and more. Stand under the giant tipping bucket and be doused with a tidal wave of water to the shrieks of delights of your children.

4. Avillion Legacy Melaka
This Colonial-style hotel is an ideal place for you to go back in time if you’re a history buff.

Unleash the imagination of your children while teaching them of the country’s history with a stay here.

5. Melaka Wonderland Theme Park & Resort
A consistent theme across the state seems to be getting wet and wild. With the weather as hot and humid as it is, it’s no wonder we Malaysians love our water theme parks.
