The Perfect Staycation For An Introvert: The Saujana Hotel Kuala Lumpur, A Lush Sanctuary In The City

The Perfect Staycation For An Introvert: The Saujana Hotel Kuala Lumpur, A Lush Sanctuary In The City 


I absolutely love staycations and almost always prefer places that are quiet, intimate with lots of greens. Like a resort in the middle of the city.

But to find one with an affordable rate in Kuala Lumpur city is quite a challenge.

I happened to have a work-related thing in The Saujana Hotel and fell in love. Told myself that I will come back to spend a night (or two) here.

The Saujana Hotel Kuala Lumpur


Nestled in 160 hectares of lush gardens is a luxury resort-style hotel, located in the suburbs and next to a golf course somewhere in Subang/Shah Alam.

It's the perfect place for a rejuvenating weekend when you want to be away from the hustle-bustle of the city but still located in the city. Just minutes away from Subang Airport.

I love that it's near to Citta Mall, Subang Parade and Empire Subang Shopping Gallery. 

So you know, I got a lot of F&B options.

The Saujana Hotel pool overlooks a small lake and right opposite the lake is the golf course.  Definitely my favourite spot to read a book while soaking in the calm and serenity.

What Is The Hotel Rate?

Quite pricey (well it's a 5-star hotel what do you expect). Rate starts from RM210 on their website but I got a very affordable rate during our endless MCO and ended up staying twice. 

Not bad eh. 

Bookings can be made through their website or Agoda. I've used both. 

What I Love About The Place 

  • Well maintained gardens, lots of trees, plants. Lush greeneries wherever you look
  • Huge compound so you tend to not meet anyone - perfect for introverts
  • Huge, spacious, welcoming lobby 
  • Plenty of parking (free!)
  • Luxurious room overlooking the lake, green compound I'm in love
  • Coffee machine in the room
  • Kiddies & adult (deep!) swimming pool
  • That sweet spot overlooking the lake
  • Easy access to a lot of nearby malls (hello GrabFood)
  • 6 in site restaurant (but I'm kinda cheapskate so hello again GrabFood) 
My favourite nook in the room

Cosy cosy comfy comfy

yummy yummy Philly steak sandwich at The Charcoal Restaurant


So lucky that both times I was there, I got a room that faces the lake & greens 😍


Had a good and much-deserved bath. Highly recommend this bath gel from Bath and Body Works

What I Don't Really Love About The Place 

  • Hostel style building - like you know with corridors, central courtyard and all
  • Creepy at night - I don't know why, when I was there, the lights on the corridor were not on and it was dark. DARK CORRIDORS ARE DAMN CREEPY I HATE DARK CORRIDORS. and there is a huge pokok Ara between the reception building and rooms building. So if pokok Ara creeps you out, then that's another creepy point.
  • Security can be improved - open parking right next to the building where the rooms are, easy access but also means anyone can just come and go.
Because I was there during MCO so there was no buffet breakfast. Instead, it was served as breakfast sets that you could choose from. 

There was quite a crowd but the staff was attentive.

What To Do On Your Staycation At The Saujana Hotel


Eat, sleep, soak in the bathtub (if you chose a room with one that is), swim in the pool, walk around the lush compound, laze on the recliner chair & read a book while you are at it.

Or you know, you could also use the fitness centre or go for a round or two of golf.

Why It's Perfect For Introverts?

🌲 Away from hustle & bustle of the city - no sounds of cars honking  guaranteed
🌲 Huge compounds - does not feel crowded or "stuffy"
🌲 Attracts like-minded people - Guest were mostly just minding their own business, chilled, non-rowdy. People who just wanna rest & get away from it all. And the staff were not the-annoying-overfriendly-kinda people too.
🌲 Reading nook overlooking the immaculate garden - Need I say more? Make sure you request one with such view I guess. 
🌲 Lots of places to sit by yourself, reading, writing, being in your own thoughts - I love that spot between the lake & pool.
🌲 Private and intimate - if you want to be just left alone, this place is perfect

Will I be back?

Yes. When the rate is affordable again - says your typical cheapskate Asian aunty

Porn Puaka Di Gym

Tajuk mengundang kontroversi Sis ni bukan apa rajin pergi gym, selain nak bersenam, iols juga suka mencuci mata. Bukan setakat mencuci mata dengan jantan helok (I'm still hoping sebab gym iols pegi tu SENDUU), sis juga suka melihat gegadis yang fefeeling gedik dengan bermacam fesyen di gym tu. Biasanya gegadis newbie ni macam cendawan. Muncul sekejap di kala azam baru masih utuh yakni di awal tahun atau selepas perayaan di mana memasing nak kurus.  Tunggulah 2 bulan kemudian langsung tak nampak batang hidung ataupun buttcheeks. Eh? Sebenarnya salah satu benda Cik Panda nak cerita pasal butt cheeks. Butt cheeks are absolutely NO NO except at the pool or beach when you are in your swimsuit.  Cik Panda tak jealous la uols sebab Cik Panda tak hingin pun nak ada bontot yang jelly welly tu. ZAssssss So hari tu ada sorang minah ni baru 1st time iols nampak kat gym, tengah workout dengan bopren dia la gitu. Pakai sports bra je dengan really short shorts yang menampakkan ...

Manusia Dua Alam

  Pernah jumpa tak manusia yang indah khabar dari rupa? Ataupun manusia yang dalam sosial media adalah seseorang yang sangat menarik hidupnya, melancong sana sini, kelihatan peramah dengan cerita-cerita pasal orang sekeliling dia tapi dalam kehidupan sebenar, agak sendu dan krik krik? Pernah kan? Inilah manusia dua alam dimana alam maya dan alam realiti dia berbeza umpama langit dan bumi. Ada seorang manusia ni, kita namakan dia XX (bukan nama sebenar). XX ni sering update cerita panjang lebar dalam sosial media dia. Satu gambar dia upload selalu disertakan dengan karangan 2 mukasurat.  Ada sekali dia upload gambar makanan yang diberikan rakan sekerja dia. Mulalah karangan 2 muka surat dia menceritakan mak si anu masak makanan lebih sikit untuk dia, si polan pun bagi makanan. Betapa murahnya rezeki dia dan bertuah dikelilingi kawan-kawan yang baik dan thoughtful. Wahhh kemain. Tapi dalam alam realiti, dia manusia berperangai pelik dan tidak boleh difahami. K...

Inferno Panic

Last night, Joel, Anne and i was chatting in the house when we smell something burning. We looked everywhere for the source of the smell until i saw smoke coming out of the main switchboard.  First it was only smoke, then little flame. Before long, the fire got bigger! Smoke fill the house and it smell of burning plastic and rubber. We panic and run out of the house. Knocked on neighbour's door to ask if they have fire extinguisher while Anne and I trying to think who to call for help. We wanted to call bomba but didn't know the number! In that moment of panic, we forgot that it's 999. So we call friends asking for bomba's number. Anne called her friend and the first thing her friend said "Anne! Save your laptop and your thesis!"  Only post-grad students understand this. Thesis and our research is more valuable than your IC or money or thousand dollar phone because only we know how difficult, how important our thesis is. Its a lifetime effort and hard...

Amazing Swimming Pools

I am a Pisces and "pisces" in Latin means fish. Pisces love to swim. So that explains my strong affinity for water. Just like a fish, i find water to be calming and soothing. Recently i've began to swim regularly after so long. Not only it is a good exercise, it releases stress and is extremely calming. I've read somewhere that water is a good medium to buffer and absorb all your negative energy and emotions. Two in one eh? I've developed obsession over swimming pools recently. Why i always seems to have obsession lately is beyond me. The nicest pool i've been to so far was this pool with an amazing view of Petronas Twin Tower. Perfect for a night swim as it was quiet and the pool is heated. Macam infinity pool tapi tidak juga.   Infinity pools are the nicest! Jom cuci mata sambil berangan ada pool macam ni... Ooh that's super nice. Perfect for a night swim. This is a pool in Bali. So calming. Next trip perhaps? ...
