Whether you’re planning for a short weekend getaway or a week-long holiday, here’s our guide to 5 of the most popular travel destinations this June. Sparkling oceans and white sandy beaches here we come!

1. Bali, Indonesia

Are the sun, beaches, mystical temples and hipster cafes your thing? If so, Bali is the island for you! Up for some surfing? The western side of the peninsula happens to create one of the world’s best waves in June. For the outdoor junkies, take a hike up Mount Batur and enjoy Bali’s spectacular sunrise. With lots of sunshine during the dry season and a slightly cooler temperature, Bali’s the place to be in June.

2. Beijing, China

The summer weather in Beijing may be slightly warm, but it’s a great period to visit as June happens to be the off-peak season as compared to the warmer summer months of July and August.

One of Beijing’s most holy imperial temples, The Temple of Heaven, is definitely worth a visit. If you are looking to take a hike up The Great Wall of China, June’s weather makes it the perfect time to do so.

Another good reason to visit in June is China’s annual Dragon Boat Festival. The festival falls on  the 9th of June this year. Explore their traditional folk customs and soak in the cultural vibes of this colourful festival.

Temperature ranges from 25 to 32 degrees Celsius, thus making Koh Samui the perfect place for a summer break! What’s more, you’ll totally get your money’s worth as the day starts as early as 5.59am. You may also consider taking a day trip to Koh Tao so get your underwater gears ready before diving into clear waters and pristine reefs.

Temperatures range around low-30 degree Celsius to mid-30s degree Celsius. Looking for some fun under the sun or up for some sunbathing at the beach? This is the right place and time! Also, as accommodation prices are fairly affordable during June, you need not break the bank searching for good accommodation!

10 Stunning Beaches Near Singapore That You Must Explore

We bet you haven’t heard of these hidden beaches that are conveniently located in our neighbouring countries! Expect gorgeous views, soft sand, and crystal clear waters- minus the crowd. Note: You might get a serious case of wanderlust after reading this.

THAILAND:

1. Nai Harn Beach

Flanked on both sides by mountains with dense jungles, Nai Harn Beach is a peaceful beach at the southern end of Phuket. Snorkel, dive, or surf the afternoon away, and as the sun goes down, dine in one of the restaurants along the beach while enjoying the sunset.

P.S. For a bird’s eye view shot of this secluded beach, head to the Windmill Viewpoint.

2. Railay Beach

This beach is a short boat ride away from Krabi’s town of Ao Nang. It is surprisingly tranquil considering its proximity to the popular and often crowded tourist destination of Krabi – and we hope it stays that way. Apart from chilling out with an ice cold beer, the rocky limestone formations around the beach make it a great spot for rock climbing too.

3. Lao Liang Beach

Head north to Koh Lao Liang, a small island that’s one of Thailand’s best kept secrets. The island is where the quiet and idyllic Lao Liang beach is hidden. Explore nature at this beach with rock climbing, snorkelling, and kayaking. Or just take a relaxing dip in the waters and spend an afternoon suntanning along the beach.

MALAYSIA:

4. Pulau Lang Tengah

On Malaysia’s East Coast, between Pulau Redang and Pulau Perhentian, lies the lesser known beach of Pulau Lang Tengah. This often overlooked island offers a peaceful retreat with nature. Trek through the tropical jungle, swim among the coral reefs, sit along the jetty to watch the sunset, and laze on the beach with the occasional squirrel keeping you company.

5. Pulau Sibu

Pulau Sibu is located off the west coast of the nearby Johor, and is even closer to Singapore than Pulau Tioman, making it a great spot for a quick getaway. Clear turquoise waters to snorkel and dive in is a given, but Pulau Sibu also has a rocky shoreline and mangrove swamps for you to explore.

6. Pulau Tiga

With unspoilt nature and a beautiful stretch of beach, this is the first ‘secret’ location where the Survivor series was shot. Take a dive in the waters, have a bath in the island’s natural volcanic mud, and don’t be surprised to meet the resident snakes of the island while you’re there too.

7. Pulau Mabul

Who knew a former fishing village would make such an awesome beach getaway? Stay in one of the water bungalows and wake up to the sound of the lapping waves. Plus, the sloping reefs and crystal clear waters are a diver’s dream. And if watching the sunset isn’t enough, Pulau Mabul is an excellent spot for stargazing as well.

BALI:

8. Green Bowl Beach

Referred to as Green Bowl Beach due to the moss-covered reef that appears when the water recedes, this beach in Ungasan is hidden some 300 steps down from a tiny road. This secluded beach paradise is worth the journey though, with its fine sand and some of the best waves for surfing. Oh, and the caves are a great photo spot – just don’t wake the sleeping bats inside.

9. Atuh Beach

This beach is surrounded by rocky cliffs and mountains that provide the perfect vantage point to admire the spectacular scenery. Located on the island of Nusa Penida, southeast of Bali, Atuh Beach is just a bike ride away from Nusa Penida Harbor. Venture away from the blue waters of this beach and you’ll find natural caves that house swallows’ nests as well.

10. Karma Beach

You can’t get more exclusive than this private beach at Karma Kandara. Did we mention that former guests include supermodel Kristy Hinze and actor Jeremy Piven? This is the perfect place to indulge in a relaxing getaway with world-class Mediterranean cuisine and fresh seafood. As night falls, lounge by the beach with a cocktail in hand.

We’ve got so many beaches to add to our bucket list now. Which of these are on yours?

1. Getting there: Ways to travel to Kuala Lumpur

1. Plane & train

The most common (and my personal favourite) way to get to KL is by flight. The journey takes about an hour from Singapore and upon arrival (KLIA and KLIA 2), you can hop on the: Budget Taxi (buy a coupon from the counter), Metered Taxi (fare calculated by distance), and Premier Taxi (bigger vehicle, more expensive). Alternatively, you can also take the

One popular choice among travellers is Aeroline, a no-stop bus journey that feels like you’re flying to KL. They are equipped with ‘cabin crews’ to attend to your needs. Their Aeroports (bus stops) are located at strategic locations which make it very easy and convenient for travellers. If you find Aeroline a little pricey ($50 for a one way ticket), you can consider other bus operators such as  or by 4. Drive

[caption id="attachment_5761" align="aligncenter" width="640"] Credit: card (Malaysia’s cash card) and a data plan (local or SG) so you can Waze around if you’re lost. Also, stay within the speed limit and obey local rules.

Remember to book an accommodation with parking facilities!

Total driving time without stops is about 4 hours, based on Google Maps.

2. Accommodation in KL

For the shopaholics and hip trendsetters:

 1. Ansa Kuala Lumpur

Smacked in the centre of several top malls and the most happening spots in KL is Ansa. With super chic and comfortable rooms, Ansa is perfect for those who are in town for a shopping spree.

Price starts from RM210++/night ($73++)

Parking facilities: Complimentary parking for in-house guests, limited lots

Website:  For the couples who want to keep it private and intimate:

Built in the 1930s, this iconic colonial heritage landmark is one of KL’s greatest hotels of all time (just like it’s name). The ambience of the hotel is intimate and the rooms are luxurious. While you’re at it, don’t forget to try their famed

6 Reasons Why South Africa Should Be #1 On Your Travel Bucket List

Located literally at the other end of the world, few will name South Africa as their top travel destination because, what the heck is there besides sand and maybe more sand? This may come as a surprise, but not only is it one of the world’s 1. Experience Its Amazing Wildlife [caption id="attachment_3183" align="alignnone" width="636"] Image Credit: @tapeitoff[/caption]

We’re going to start with the most obvious and yes, the wildlife is amazeballszing. Here, we rejoice over snapping Instagram-able photos of our neighborhood cats and sometimes, it gets a little sad. Just look at the above photo. It’s still a cat, but not quite the same.

In South Africa, you get to ditch National Geographic and experience the real deal. Get stared down by a four-meter tall elephant? Check. Chase a herd of wild zebras? Check. Get chased by territorial rhinos? Double check. Also, if you intend to release your inner Mowgli, we’d recommend you the Image Credit: @tapeitoff[/caption]

Besides the safari experience, surround yourself with countless waddling penguins at s baby seals that are so adorable you wish you could take one home (or stay there forever).

At Cape of Good Hope, the breathtaking view of the Atlantic ocean will have you wishing we had a Cape of Good uh, English. We kid. On a more serious note, instead of running from occasionally violent monkeys and dousing yourself in insect repellent, have the chance to enjoy some fresh mountain air and the wonders of nature.

Nature aside, South Africa is home to many wonderful cities, one of them naturally being Cape Town, its capital. Admire 3. Embark on Countless Adventures

If you’re an adventure junkie, South Africa is the place for you.

Remember how this country is one of the world’s shark capitals? With shark cage diving, you get to jump in the ocean and be literally beside them. Note that we’re not talking about any sharks, but the Great Whites. We don’t know about you, but witnessing a Great White chomp away at a piece of bait the size of our heads a few inches away ranks pretty high up on our thrill list.

The next activity has to be sand boarding (perfect for adrenalin junkies who prefer staying dry). Just imagine the rush from surfing down a dune twice the height of Bukit Timah Hill. No experience is required for this sport so for the slightly clumsy/accident prone ones; rejoice!

Prefer airborne adventures? Take the plunge by embarking on the world’s highest bridge bungee jump at Bloukrans Bungy. We’re not sure if you’d get to enjoy the spectacular view during the jump, but we guarantee the high levels of adrenalin rush.

4. Taste Some of the World’s Finest Wines

Basically a wine heaven, South Africa is home to an extensive amount of vineyards. We do have breweries back home but vineyards? Nada.

Not only do you get to taste some of the best wines, immerse yourself in the country’s winemaking traditions whilst staying in its wine valleys. If you find researching on the extensive number of wineries a hassle, sign up for alcoholic appreciator of wines.

When I met you in the summer, to the heartbeat sound.

It’s hard to not fall in love with the country, especially as the leaves turn brown. Okay but seriously, although summers can get pretty warm, the weather is never as humid as it is back home. Imagine taking part in the above-mentioned activities and barely breaking into a sweat. One can only dream.

Much to the surprise of many (including us), there is winter in South Africa. There may not be snow, but the chilly weather can provide a good respite from the perpetually sunny Singapore.

6. Travelling Is Affordable

For starters, the cost of living in the country is generally lower (though this may not hold true for touristy areas like Cape Town). For instance, we scored a room in a cosy Airbnb apartment located at the foot of Table Mountain for just $30 a night. Topped up $20 and we got a ride from the airport to the apartment in a BMW convertible, driven by the ex manager of singer Bryan Adams? Excuse us whilst we squeal in a corner.

Cosy apartments aside, South Africa is also home to a thriving café scene. If you’re a caffeine addict, you’re in luck. If you’re not, you’re about to become one. Lip-smacking coffee accompanied by ocean views are usually priced at $2-$2.50 whilst delicious cakes twice the size of those back home are priced at $3. Hipsters, one at a time please.

Convinced? Full of ceaseless wonders, we cannot emphasize any further on the remarkability of South Africa because if we do, you’d start wondering if this is an advertorial for South Africa’s tourism board. It’s not.
