2025 Johor Bahru Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

#jbhomestay Just got back from a short stay at Alam Residence in JB, and honestly, we were so happy with the place. It had that rare mix of being super clean, peaceful, and actually well-designed, not just nice in photos. The living area was our favourite spot ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ The high ceiling made it feel super open, and there’s this huge window that brings in so much light ✨ We spent most of the morning just lounging on the couch with coffee, doing nothing and it felt perfect. The jungle-themed wallpaper behind the TV 📺 added a really nice touch without being too much. The bedroom 🛏️ was just as cosy. Comfy bed, quiet at night, and we slept really well. It’s simple, but you can tell care went into the little details, the headboard design, the soft lighting, even the bench by the window. Felt more like a small boutique hotel than a regular homestay 🏡 We weren’t expecting to like it this much, but everything just worked. No weird smells, no clutter, no stress. Just a calm, well-put-together space where you can actually rest. Rating - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Loved it. Felt right from the moment we walked in.

Weekend getaway to Forest City, JB — short trip, big vibes! 🇲🇾✨ Crossed the border with zero plans, just good company and a craving for chill. Checked into a quiet spot with sea views, explored the surroundings, and took a slow walk 🌊🌿 The photo spot known as the Stairway to Heaven — the staircase that literally leads into the sky 📸☁️😆 Perfect for a quick escape from the usual rush 😌 #summervacay #ForestCityJB #WeekendGetaway #NatureChill

#summervacay If you're in Johor Bahru and craving a laid-back, local-style food adventure, KSL Bestari Walk at Taman Nusa Bestari is a hidden gem that offers a delightful mix of street food, cozy vibes, and a touch of nostalgia. The food court features a variety of stalls serving local and Asian favorites. We tried the Taiwanese fried egg scallion pancake — crispy and savory with the perfect balance of egg and scallions, offering a satisfying crunch. The fried chicken was juicy with a crispy exterior, making it a comforting classic. The local wanton mee came with springy noodles and flavorful dumplings, tied together with a rich savory sauce. The space itself is charming, designed with container-style stalls and decorated with twinkling fairy lights that create a cozy and inviting atmosphere. It feels very local and authentic, perfect for a casual meal with friends or family. The vibe is relaxed, especially on weekdays when there aren’t too many people around, allowing you to enjoy the food without the usual weekend crowds. You’ll find familiar names like Da Cheng Lok Lok among the many food options, offering a good range of Asian street food styles in one convenient spot. The outdoor setting combined with the soft glow of the fairy lights gives the place a warm, almost magical feel in the evening. Located in Taman Nusa Indah, KSL Bestari Walk is easily accessible and makes for a nice stop if you’re in the area. It’s the kind of local food court where you can take your time, soak in the simple vibes, and enjoy a good variety of tasty dishes without the hustle and bustle of larger, more touristy food centers. If you’re looking for a casual, friendly spot to enjoy authentic local flavors in a charming outdoor setting, KSL Bestari Walk is definitely worth a visit.

#summervacay We eased into our final morning with the hotel breakfast buffet — a comforting routine by now. Depending on how early we got up (or didn’t), we caught the tail end of it before everything closed around 10.30am. Light bites, coffee, and one last round of toast and eggs before packing up. By 12pm, we checked out of Hotel Granada and headed off to continue our food journey — because the trip’s not over till dessert. At 12.30pm, we dropped by Soeurs Coffee, a minimalist café tucked away in a quiet spot that instantly felt like a soft escape. Their mochi cheesecake was a standout — creamy and light with that perfect chewy bite of mochi hidden in the center. We paired it with their signature Amulet Coffee, which came with a mini “amulet” charm — a cute detail that made the experience feel just a little more special. At 2.30pm, we arrived at Baliban Braised Duck for something heartier. The duck was rich, tender, and beautifully braised — savoury, slightly herbal, and fall-off-the-bone good. It felt like a very local, soulful lunch, and honestly one of the more underrated meals of the trip. Next was Paradigm Mall at 4pm — one last stop to walk off the meal, browse some shops, and cool down indoors. We made time for a drink at Beautea, known for their aesthetic drinks and floral vibes. A refreshing pause before our final destination. And finally, at 6pm, we made our way to Marine Beach Bar by Danga Bay Country Garden just in time for sunset. With hues of soft pink, golden amber, and purple washing over the sky, it was the perfect place to unwind. The beach bar had laid-back vibes, a swing set overlooking the water, and the warm ocean breeze that made everything feel slow and cinematic. A gentle, beautiful close to our Johor escape — full of flavour, calm, and a little bit of magic.

#summervacay We started the day with a leisurely breakfast buffet at Hotel Granada — nothing too fancy, but comforting and familiar. A mix of local and Western options: nasi lemak, eggs, toast, cereal, and a decent spread of fruits and pastries. It was a relaxed morning, and we took our time over coffee before heading out for another round of cafe hopping. At 10am, we made our way to Layer Bakehouse — a hidden gem nestled deep in the kampung area of Skudai. Despite its ulu location, it was already buzzing with locals. The interior had clean, minimalist vibes, but the highlight was hands down the pistachio basque cheesecake. Rich, creamy, and bursting with real pistachio flavour — it was one of the best we’ve ever had. We paired it with a peanut butter latte and soaked in the quiet morning calm. By 12pm, we were at Capyba Cafe, an animal café with a quirky charm. We ordered our drinks and had to dine in downstairs first (minimum order per person), before heading upstairs where the real fun begins. The staff handed us a little salad cup to feed the animals, and we were greeted by capybaras, alpacas, sheep, and even a pony. It was surprisingly clean and well-kept, and the capybara pudding was almost too cute to eat — almost. At 2pm, we stepped into the magical space that is Lune24 — a glasshouse café that looked like it belonged in a fairytale. Think soft lighting, flowing curtains, floral accents, and floor-to-ceiling windows. We spent a good while just taking in the dreamy atmosphere and snapping photos. Afterwards, we grabbed a drink from Furiku next door — the matcha strawberry yogurt was light, creamy, and just the right balance of sweet and tangy. We headed to Sutera Mall around 6pm to do a bit of browsing and window shopping — the usual familiar brands and local shops. Then at 8pm, we wrapped up the night at Bestari Walk, an outdoor container-style food court with lively vibes and neon lights. Rows of food stalls, sizzling woks, street food aroma in the air — it was the perfect casual dinner spot. We walked around, picked a little of everything, and sat under the stars enjoying the buzz of the local night scene. A laidback end to a day filled with soft lights, sweet treats, and Skudai charm.

#summervacay We kicked off day 1 of our easy summer vacation in Johor with a slow, relaxing morning at Little Bun Cafe around 10am. Tucked away in a quiet part of town, the Korean style café had a cosy charm that made us feel instantly at ease. Their steamed brioche was incredibly soft and fluffy, slightly sweet with just the right texture — perfect with a savoury breakfast set and a warm cup of coffee. It was a peaceful start, and we didn’t feel rushed at all. By 12pm, we made our way to Eco Galleria — a beautifully designed mall with wide open corridors and a slightly European feel. It was a weekday, so the whole place was calm and quiet, perfect for window shopping and enjoying the aesthetic surroundings without the usual crowds. Lunch was at Chi Bao Zi at 1pm, a casual retro Hong Kong themed spot focused on handmade Chinese buns. The buns were pillowy soft, freshly steamed, and generously packed with flavourful fillings. We ordered a few different ones to try, and each bite was satisfying. It was a light but comforting meal, just enough to keep us going. At 3pm, we checked into Hotel Granada for a mid-day rest. The location was super convenient — close to the malls and eateries in Bukit Indah — and the room was clean and spacious, great for a short break to recharge. We headed to AEON Bukit Indah at 5pm for a bit of shopping. It’s a familiar stop, but always a fun one, whether it’s browsing skincare, picking up snacks, or just people-watching. The mall was nicely air-conditioned and not too crowded, which made it even more enjoyable. By 7pm, we were ready for dinner at Treasure Thai - a nature hidden farmhouse cafe straight out of a Ghibli film. The tomyum mama had that fiery kick we were craving — spicy, tangy, and full of flavour. The green curry was rich and creamy, perfectly balanced with tender chicken and vegetables. Every dish hit the spot. To end the night, we made one last stop at a cozy panda themed cafe called Tangii Dessert at 9pm. Their taro mochi milk ice was everything we hoped for — silky smooth shaved ice topped with rich taro purée, chewy mochi balls, and a generous drizzle of condensed milk. It was sweet, comforting, and a dreamy way to wrap up our first day in Johor. #localfood #thingstodo #couplestrip #poolhotel #afternoonteatime #staycation

#summervacay Marine Beach Bar at Danga Bay is one of those places that instantly feels like a coastal escape. As the sun starts to dip behind the horizon, the sky transforms into a breathtaking display of pink, purple, and golden hues — the kind of sunset that makes you pause, soak it in, and maybe even forget you’re still in Johor Bahru. Set right by the waterfront, the bar has a breezy open-air layout with rustic touches and a tropical vibe. One of the standout features? The wooden swings facing the sea. It’s the perfect spot to sit back, feel the ocean breeze, and watch the sky change color with a drink in hand. The whole place has a laid-back, island-inspired charm that makes you want to stay until the last bit of sunlight disappears. The menu offers a mix of Western comfort food and local favourites. We tried the satay — grilled just right, tender, and smoky with a generous side of peanut sauce. The carbonara was a creamy, no-fuss plate that hit the spot after a long day. The nasi lemak came with fragrant coconut rice, crispy anchovies, egg, and sambal — a satisfying and familiar pick with a view that elevated the whole experience. Prices are slightly on the higher side compared to typical local food spots, but honestly, you’re paying for the vibes — and it’s worth it. Between the colorful skies, beachfront seating, and casual atmosphere, it’s an ideal place to catch golden hour or unwind into the evening. If you’re in Johor Bahru and looking for somewhere to watch the sunset in full color, Marine Beach Bar is worth a visit. Just be sure to get there around 6:30 pm to grab a good seat — preferably one of those wooden swings — and let nature do the rest. #seascapes #myitinerary #couplestrip #travel #beachlife #thingstodo #naturalwonders #localfood

#summervacay We checked in for a 3D2N stay at Hotel Granada Bukit Indah and were immediately welcomed by its bright, spacious lobby — a surprisingly inviting first impression. With plenty of comfortable seating and a clean, uncluttered layout, it made waiting for our Grab or simply catching our breath between outings feel easy and relaxed. The space had a certain calm to it, setting the tone for a stay that turned out to be both convenient and surprisingly restful. Throughout the hotel, public areas were well-maintained and thoughtfully designed. Everything felt easy to navigate, and that sense of order added to the overall comfort of the experience. One of our favourite spots was the outdoor swimming pool. Tucked away from the main flow of guests, it offered a little escape after a day out exploring. Whether you’re up for a casual swim or just want to lounge poolside with a book, it’s a nice corner to unwind without going far. The gym is small but practical, equipped with enough machines for a decent workout. We appreciated having the option to move a little — especially after indulging in nearby eats — and it’s a useful amenity for those who don’t want to skip their routine while away. Hotel Granada also caters well to business travellers and event guests. With meeting rooms and function spaces available, it’s easy to host or attend events here. The in-house dining offers both local and international fare, which is convenient if you’re staying in for work or just want something fuss-free. An unexpected highlight was the outdoor event area, which feels especially charming in the evening. The space seems well-suited for weddings and celebrations — soft lights, open air, and a romantic atmosphere that adds character to the hotel’s otherwise practical vibe. Of course, one of the biggest advantages of staying here is the location. AEON Mall Bukit Indah is literally just across the road — under a 2-minute walk — which meant we could easily pop out for coffee, meals, shopping, or even a quick supermarket run. That kind of accessibility really makes a difference, especially for short trips. All in all, Hotel Granada Bukit Indah is one of those places that quietly gets things right. It’s not flashy, but it offers just enough comfort, thoughtful touches, and convenience to make for a smooth, hassle-free stay — whether you’re here for leisure, work, or a little of both.

#summervacay Our recent stay at Hotel Granada Bukit Indah was a delightful experience, particularly in Deluxe Queen Room 918. This room, measuring around 18 square meters, offered a comfortable and clean environment, ideal for both relaxation and work. Room Features and Ambiance The room was thoughtfully designed, featuring a queen-sized bed that provided a restful sleep. One thing we especially appreciated was the absence of carpet flooring, which made the room feel fresher and easier to keep clean. The furnishings were contemporary and minimal, and the space was well-lit, creating a welcoming and calming atmosphere. View from Room 918 One of the highlights was the view from our window overlooking Restoran Loon Sing and the surrounding Bukit Indah neighborhood. It was interesting to watch the everyday local life below — quiet streets, small shops, and people going about their day. The view brought a local charm that made our stay feel more connected to the city without being too noisy or busy. Amenities and Services The hotel provides useful amenities such as complimentary Wi-Fi, in-room coffee and tea-making facilities, and daily breakfast for two. Though we didn’t cover the rest of the hotel facilities in this post, the Deluxe Queen Room felt like a peaceful retreat after a day exploring the nearby areas. Location Conveniently located just a short walk from AEON Mall Bukit Indah, the hotel gives easy access to shopping, dining, and entertainment. Being close to this bustling mall made it easy for us to grab meals, shop, or just stroll around. Overall, the Deluxe Queen Room 918 at Hotel Granada Bukit Indah offers a clean, spacious, and comfortable base with a nice local view that adds a little something special to the stay. It’s a quiet and cozy spot to unwind after a busy day.

#summervacay One of the simple pleasures of staying at Hotel Granada Bukit Indah is the complimentary buffet breakfast provided each morning. While the variety isn’t extensive, it offers a well-rounded selection that caters to a range of tastes and appetites, making it a convenient and satisfying way to start the day. The breakfast spread strikes a nice balance between Western and local flavors. For those who prefer a lighter or familiar start, there’s a modest assortment of breads—think soft rolls, toast, and sometimes croissants—along with cereals and fresh seasonal fruits. These options are perfect for guests who like something quick, easy, and refreshing in the morning. The local offerings are where the buffet really shines, presenting classic Malay and Indian dishes that showcase the rich culinary heritage of the region. Roti canai, a flaky, golden flatbread, is a breakfast staple here and pairs beautifully with the accompanying dhal or curry sauce. There’s also a noodle station serving up warm, comforting noodles, often prepared with a flavorful broth or stir-fried with local spices. The nasi lemak corner is another highlight, featuring fragrant coconut rice, crispy anchovies, boiled eggs, peanuts, and the signature spicy sambal that adds just the right kick. For those looking for something heartier, rendang makes an appearance—a slow-cooked, tender meat dish rich with spices and coconut milk, offering a taste of authentic Malaysian cuisine. To satisfy any sweet cravings, the buffet includes a small selection of cakes and pastries, providing a nice contrast to the savory dishes and rounding out the meal. While the breakfast buffet isn’t extravagant or overly elaborate, it’s thoughtfully curated with enough variety to suit most palates. It offers a comforting mix of simple Western staples alongside flavorful local dishes, giving guests a taste of the region’s culinary culture without overwhelming them with choice. It’s the kind of breakfast that fuels you well for a day of exploring Bukit Indah or getting through a busy schedule.

#summervacay We visited Little Bun in Taman Eco Botanic and appreciated its calm, minimalist vibe. The space is bright and clean, with white walls and light wooden accents that give it a subtle Korean bakery feel—simple and inviting. One of the highlights is how they steam their brioches fresh right at the counter. Watching the process adds a nice layer to the experience, and the buns come out incredibly soft and warm, with a delicate, slightly sweet crumb that’s very different from typical oven-baked bread. We tried their scrambled egg croissant first—flaky, buttery layers wrapped around creamy, well-seasoned scrambled eggs. It’s straightforward but done well. The matcha red bean mochi steamed brioche was more unique. The bun itself was light and airy, with a gentle matcha aroma. Inside, the chewy mochi paired nicely with smooth, mildly sweet red bean paste, creating a nice balance of textures and flavors without being too heavy or overly sweet. Besides the steamed buns, they also offer sourdough loaves and a handful of savory options like pasta and soup, but the steamed brioches feel like the centerpiece here. Little Bun isn’t flashy or loud — it’s a quiet spot where the focus is on quality and simplicity. If you’re in the area and want something comforting and thoughtfully made, it’s worth a visit.

#johorbahruguide If you’re a buffet lover, don’t miss the one at Amari Johor Bahru. The variety here is impressive—from hot dishes to fresh fruits and appetizers. I especially loved the Japanese station, which offered grilled meats, sushi rolls, and tender smoked duck. Everything was well-prepared and neatly presented, which made the dining experience even more enjoyable. Plus, the fruit corner had so many options including rose apples, pears, bananas, and avocados—so fresh! The vibe is modern yet welcoming, perfect for a relaxing meal with friends or family. What stood out the most was the attention to detail—even the sauces and condiments were thoughtfully arranged. Whether you're a local or just visiting JB, this buffet is definitely worth checking out. It felt like a mini food adventure without needing to leave the hotel!

#springitinerary This JB day trip started with a visit to Keijometo, and honestly, we couldn’t have picked a better place to ease into the morning. Tucked away in a quiet corner of Jalan Chengai, this Japanese-inspired café is known for its striking concrete interiors, raw industrial charm, and minimalist wabi-sabi vibes. Stepping inside felt like entering a quiet art space — moody, calm, and beautifully understated. We kicked things off with the mentaiko tamago sando — thick, fluffy layers of tamago paired with a rich, savoury mentaiko mayo, all tucked between soft milk bread. It was creamy, umami-rich, and incredibly satisfying without feeling too heavy. Next came the truffle carbonara udon, a creative East-meets-West fusion dish that totally hit the spot. The udon had the perfect bite, coated in a silky, indulgent carbonara sauce with just the right hint of truffle, and topped with an onsen egg that brought everything together. For something sweet, we went with the houjicha basque cheesecake — and it was everything we hoped for. Smooth and lightly creamy, with a deep roasted tea flavour that wasn’t overly sweet, making it the ideal pairing for our drinks. Speaking of which, the strawberry matcha drink was both beautiful and refreshing. The slight tartness of the strawberry balanced out the earthy bitterness of the matcha, creating a layered sip that was as enjoyable as it was photogenic. Keijometo isn’t just a cafe — it’s an experience. From the thoughtful design to the well-curated menu, it’s the kind of place that invites you to slow down, soak in the ambience, and savour the little things. A lovely start to our JB adventure, and one we’d definitely revisit again. #couplestrip #localfood

Would suggest to visit on non hot hours as sun is quite direct. Either earlier in the morning, later in the noon/evening. Lots of play ground for kids

#favouriteitinerary Spent an epic day in Johor Bahru! 🌟 Started with a cozy breakfast at Nimmies Café (the vibes were EVERYTHING) 🍳☕️. Then, treated myself to a relaxing hair treatment & massage at KSL 🧖🏻♀️💆🏻♀️. Lunch was at Keijimoto, hands down the best Japanese café I’ve tried 🍣💖. Wrapped it up with some delish bagels from Palates & Bagel 🍞✨. Who’s ready to explore Johor Bahru with me next? 😎 #JohorBahru #FoodieAdventures #SelfCareDay #Keijimoto #BagelLover #GenZExplorer #CafeHopping

#Share travel plan Share a travel plan for Malaysia KL-MELAKA-JOHORBHARU If anyone gets on a plane and lands at KL airport, you can rent a car from the airport and travel here. We will start from Johorbharu to Malacca and KL. Day 1: Legoland Johor Bharu Drive from KL for 4 hours. Legoland here is divided into 3 parts: rides, amusement park, aquarium and water park. I must say that the aquarium is not worth the price. But the other parts are okay. The only downside is that the weather is a bit hot. After entering Legoland, drive to Malacca because Malacca hotels are cheaper. The food is also cheaper. Day 2: Visit Malacca city at Dutch Square. Next to Dutch is Musium Samudera. The downside is that the weather is hot all year round. After taking pictures, go to sleep at a hotel in L. Day 3: Leave the hotel and go to Genting Amusement Park, both indoor and outdoor. The weather is good. The rides are fun. I am impressed. After playing, we went back to the hotel to rest again. Day 4: Merdeka, we traveled in KL city, we went to the KLCC Twin Towers, nearby there is Saloma Bridge where people come to take pictures, we went to Merdeka near the walking street, there is quite a lot of traffic in the city and it is hard to find parking, we had to park in the mall and walk around to take pictures at the places we marked. After that, we went home, ending our Malaysia trip in a hurry. #kualalumpur #johorbahru #melaka
