Malihom Retreat, Balik Pulau

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.

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.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
