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. 

If you need more ideas, this "16 Things To Do On A Staycation" article on Forbes could help.

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 ...

Otot Lagi Berat Daripada Lemak?

Otot Lagi Berat Daripada Lemak? Pernah tak korang hadapi situasi macam ni. Bersenam dah all out, membanting tulang dan tenaga di gym. Dalam semangat nak lose weight tu, timbang diri setiap jam, setiap hari! Disebabkan dah berabis workout dan mengamalkan diet rumput rumpai, korang pun expect berat turun kan? Tiba-tiba bila naik atas penimbang tu, berat tak turun pun. Maintain je. Kadang-kadang lagi teruk. BERAT NAIK PULAK!! Bila terjadi perkara macam ni, korang pun berjalan perlahan-lahan ke sudut bilik, dan mengerekot di dalam bilik yang gelap sambil mengenang nasib. Sangat mematahkan semangat, berkecamuk jiwa dan raga. I know. I've been there. CPPS pun pernah mengalami perkara yang sama Workout dah betul, diet pula calorie deficit. You have done everything right but your weight INCREASED! Rasa nak putus asa dan minum racun rumpai. Kemudian ahli keluarga, PT atau kakak cleaner gym dengan penuh rasa kasihan cuba memujuk. "Hey! don't worry. You are gainin...

Bikinication: Project Phuket Part 2

In case you have not read the part 1, click HERE .  So on the 3rd day we went island hopping to Phi Phi Island where the movie "The Beach" featuring Leonardo Dicaprio was filmed.  Bought the package while wandering around Patong Beach but you can get these island hopping packages anywhere in Phuket.  Like many other things in Phuket, you have to bargain. We got our package for 1050 Baht/pax which included transport to and fro hotel, lunch and refreshments, snorkeling equipment and covers Maya Bay (where the filming was), Loh Samah Bay, Pileh Lagoon, Viking Cave, Monkey Beach and Khai Nok Island.  We only stop and got down the boat at Maya Bay, another lagoon i don't know what's the name for snorkeling, Phi Phi Don for lunch and Khai Nok Island.  They picked us up at 7.45am from the hotel and all of us gathered in a place for a briefing. There were 3 boats that day for all of us,  then departed to the jetty which was about 1...

Guide To First Dates For Dummies

Guide To First Dates For Dummies While I'm not exactly an expert in relationships, first dates, and stuff, I've had a few learning experiences and a panel of consultants.  I feel the need to share with you, especially guys, a few do's and don'ts of a first date.  Basically to give you some idea of what girls expect on a first date and to save you from embarrassment and disappointments from not securing a second date.  1. Dress To Impress DO NOT underestimate the power of dressing. You only have one chance at making a good first impression.  You don't have to wear something expensive or trendy. Just something tidy, presentable, smart, or casual. Something you are comfortable in. Jeans, a nice shirt and shoes would be fine.  No short pants, slippers, and ratty t-shirts. If you want to wear shorts, wear them with a shirt (with collar) and shoes instead. Hair should be presentable, facial hairs trimmed and tidy, no bad breath or body odour.  Use cologn...
