Malihom Retreat (GPS: 5.31928, 100.22691) is a 4-star hill retreat in Balik Pulau, Penang. Opened in 2007, it was built to blend into the natural surroundings, to offer visitors an opportunity to get close to nature. There are only 8 rooms at Malihom Retreat, so visitors are assured of a high degree of privacy and exclusivity.
How to go to Malihom Retreat
A lot of people do not know how to go to Malihom Retreat. It is located in the hills between Teluk Kumbar and Balik Pulau. If you are coming from the direction of Bayan Lepas, go along Jalan Teluk Kumbar in the direction of Balik Pulau. Be on the look out for the signboard for Bukit Genting on your left, and a white water tank on your right. This is how it looks like:
Look out for Bukit Genting on your left and white water tank on your right.
Continue driving for another 150 meters. The road is now entering the elevated portion. Now look out for an exit on the right, with what I would describe as a "tiny" brown signboard for Malihom. That's where you turn in.
This is where you turn right to Malihom.

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
