Valentine's Day in Historic Melaka

Celebrating Valentine's Day is always exciting. If you're thinking of going out of town with your loved one for a change, you might want to consider Malacca, Malaysia. An alternative to the more popular Penang or Kuala Lumpur, Malacca, 'Melaka' to locals, holds its own in terms of things worth seeing and exploring. The central district, for example, is one of those that must be checked out. A UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2008, the place exudes culture and history at every corner. Its Portuguese- and British-Colonial heritage is evident in the town's architecture and character while still seamlessly blending with its equally fascinating Malaysian roots.


Incidentally, Avillion Legacy Melaka hotel in Melaka is currently offering a promo especially for vacationing couples this Valentine's Day. Dubbed the My Valentine Package, the promo entitles guests to a 1-night accommodation, breakfast for 2, poolside barbeque dinner for 2, a milk bath, and mystery gift. It can already be availed until February 13, 2011 but valid only on February 14, 2011 for Studio Rooms.


Enjoying an appealing location right at the heart of Malacca, the hotel gives easy access to key local destinations, including The Stadthuys (Red Square), Portuguese Settlement, Malacca Botanical Gardens, and Malacca Zoo, to name a few. Appropriately, it also reflects the place's rich history through opulent interiors, a stunning glass dome lobby and classic Roman-inspired pillars. Its elegant, fully equipped accommodations also live up to the attractive appearance, providing a relaxing and private haven for guests. All these make the hotel the perfect leisure getaway this Valentine's Day.
