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

#traveldiaries If you're ever in Melaka and love nature or animals, the Turtle Conservation Centre is a must-visit. It’s located near the beach, where they focus on protecting and conserving endangered turtle species, especially the Hawksbill turtle. When you get there, you can learn about the different types of turtles found in Malaysia, and they even have a hatchery where they care for turtle eggs until they hatch. It’s a peaceful spot, and spending time there really makes you appreciate the importance of protecting wildlife. Plus, the centre’s beach is a great place to relax, and who knows, you might spot a turtle in the wild!

The Turtle Conservation and Information Centre in Padang Kemunting, located in Alor Gajah, Melaka, Malaysia, is a remarkable place for those interested in marine life, particularly sea turtles. The center focuses on the Hawksbill Turtle which is renowned as one of the most beautiful turtle species globally. These turtles get their name from their unique, eagle-like mouth. The hatchery at the center can accommodate 300 to 600 turtle egg nests during each spawning season. Each nest is approximately 45 cm deep, and the eggs typically take around 60 days to hatch. Once the baby sea turtles hatch, they are released into the sea. Interestingly, when they mature, these turtles often return to the beach where they were born. The beaches at Padang Kemunting have recorded the highest landings of Hawksbill Turtles in the state of Melaka. The Turtle Information Centre offers a Turtle Gallery, a hatchery, and a head-starting pond. Visitors can learn about turtle conservation efforts and witness these incredible creatures up close. The center is open on specific days, including Tuesday to Sunday, with varying hours. If you’re in the area, consider paying a visit and supporting their vital work. Location: Address: Jalan Tuan Haji Baharom Ludin, Kampung Tanjong Bidara, Masjid Tanah, 78300, Alor Gajah, Melaka, Malaysia. #familytrips2024

Name: Potret Cafe Location: Teluk Gong, Malacca Potret Cafe merupakan sebuah Cafe yang terletak di tepi pantai. Pengunjung boleh melihat Pulau Konet di seberang pantai. Suasana di sini sangat menarik! Potret Cafe menyajikan kopi yang dibrew oleh barista wanita. Antara menu yang ada ialah mocha, latte, matcha frappe dan sebagainya. Juadah ringan seperti waffle, french fries pun ada. Kelebihan kafe ini ialah rekaan dalaman yang minimalis menggunakan warna putih sebagai latar. Perabot kayu yang digunakan juga menarik perhatian pengunjung. Namun begitu, jika terdapat kek dan pastry di kafe ini, pasti membuatkan pelanggan lebih seronok kerana dapat menikmatinya bersama kopi yang disediakan. Sekian, terima kasih. #celebratewithtrip #malacca #hipster #beach

#malaccaguide The Amanjena Resort, nestled on the shores of Pengkalan Balak (about a 45-minute drive from Melaka city), offers a distinctly Mediterranean escape with its pure-white, Cycladic-style architecture and Roman-blue accents—so much so that it’s often called “Santorini Malaysia” . A Room with Mediterranean Charm The resort’s rooms follow the same Greek-inspired aesthetic, with thoughtful décor, private balconies, and a mix of sea- or pool-facing views. Options range from the Sea View Deluxe King (around RM380/night) to larger Pool View suites ideal for groups . Facilities and Beach Perks Guests enjoy a stylish pool framed by the striking white-and-blue buildings, plus a sandy beach just minutes away. On-site amenities include adult and kids pools, simple breakfast, weekend entertainment (like BBQs, movie nights), and beach activities such as banana boat rides . What To Know • Staff are friendly and responsive, with smooth check-in/out processes . • Breakfast is basic but hearty: nasi lemak, fried chicken, and coffee are favorites . • Some practical notes: parking can be limited, Wi‑Fi inconsistent, and the nearby beach less pristine than expected . ⸻ Final Take The Amanjena Resort is an Instagram-worthy, boutique escape that brings Greek vibes to Malaysia’s coastline. With its seaside charm, pleasant rooms, and warm service, it’s an excellent choice for a short getaway—especially if you’re looking for something visually striking and relaxing away from Melaka’s tourist crowds.

"I recently had the opportunity to stay in a delightful room designed for two. Located in a serene resort-style setting by the sea, the atmosphere was incredibly peaceful, especially during the evenings. One of the highlights was the charming concept inspired by the era of P. Ramlee, with antique items tastefully displayed throughout. This resort is perfect for a family getaway, offering a wonderful experience for parents and loved ones alike."
