Have Your Next Staycation At These Kuala Kubu Bharu Sky Villas
Some of these properties are bungalows and can accommodate up to 10 guests. Of course, that’s not to say you can’t have the place entirely to yourself!
Hillside Batu Retreat
Sitting on a private hill where security and privacy are guaranteed, this property is one of Kuala Kubu Bharu’s most premier sky villas. By anchoring the design ethos on open spacing, the villa allows seamless access from room to room, resulting in a staycation experience that doesn’t feel confined. There are three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a BBQ area complete with tools and charcoal, and a well-equipped kitchen. But we imagine you’ll be spending the most time on the balcony where unobstructed views of mountain tops await.
Price per night: From RM989
Accommodates: Up to 10 guests

Mountain View Getaway House
In more ways than one, the Mountain View Getaway House is like the aforementioned Hillside Batu Retreat. It boasts an open space concept, has a killer view to boot, and comes with a fully-furnished kitchen. But this Kuala Kubu Bharu homestay on Airbnb is also more compact, which makes it perfect for couples and small families. There’s even a pool in case you feel like taking a dip under the stars.
Price per night: From RM464

Light refreshments, fresh towels, toiletries, and extension cords are provided together with your stay here, so you don’t have to worry about basic amenities.
