Here are some unique Airbnb stays you can book for your Raya staycation

We might still not be able to travel too far due to the pandemic, but staycations are the next best thing if you want a little escape during Hari Raya break. For World Heritage Day on 18 April, Airbnb recommended a few unique and cultural stays around Malaysia to give your staycation that extra oomph.

“Every year on 18 April, we celebrate World Heritage Day as a commemoration of our diverse cultural heritage, and a reminder to continue driving awareness of and preserving iconic cultural monuments for our future generations,” wrote Airbnb in their press release.

While it might be a little too late for you to book a stay here for World Heritage Day weekend, you can still use this as a guide for your future plans. This coming Hari Raya break is a great excuse for you to spend the holiday at a place that can give you the “kampung” vibe you crave for.
