Negeri Sembilan may not be the first destination you think of when it comes to nature retreats in Malaysia - but there are actually a handful of gorgeous nature resorts that you can find in this gem of a state! And that includes Awanmulan - a private family home that hosts a collection of guesthouses.

Tucked away in the lush hills of Negeri Sembilan, make your way to this private sanctuary for your weekend escape. It's only an hour's drive from Kuala Lumpur, which comes as a surprise as the scenery is a world's difference from the skyscrapers and high-rise buildings of the city. While the location is only 1,000 feet above sea level, you can experience all kinds of weathers - sunny skies, rainy afternoons and even cooling nights.

There are five different types of rooms to choose from at Awanmulan: Durian Runtuh, Rahsiah, Senjja, Evensong and Sasterawan. If you're on a trip with a group up to 6 people, book a stay in any of the first three rooms. For those who are on a romantic trip with their spouse, Evensong is perfect for you. And for couples travelling with one child, Sasterawan is the space you need as it has a single bed for your young one.
While the rooms are of various sizes, all of them have a private kitchen, BBQ area and bathrooms. You'll be free to whip up a meal and enjoy some privacy with your loved ones!
During your stay, don't forget to take a cooling dip in their skypool! Not only does it give you a great view of the sunset, the cool thing about the pool is that it uses natural spring water with minimal amounts of chlorine, making it a lot gentler on the eyes and skin. Yay, to longer swims!
Besides the pool, you can also relax in the hammocks and deck chairs throughout the day. As the evening winds down, take advantage of the BBQ facilities and have a delicious cookout session with family and friends. If you're up for an adventure the next day, explore the trails of the forests that'll lead you to a river and a spot for overnight camping.
Whether you're planning a romantic retreat or a fun family getaway, Awanmulan has got it all to make your stay a memorable one ?
