JOM! Not Just Politics: Why Putrajaya is your next getaway!
A HOLIDAY in Putrajaya, you say? Don't be too surprised! It might seem an unconventional holiday pick, but it's packed with surprises that make it a destination worth exploring. Known for its sleek architecture and picturesque lakes, Putrajaya is more than just Malaysia's administrative capital, it actually offers something for everyone — whether it's admiring the iconic pink Putra Mosque, strolling across the stunning Seri Wawasan Bridge or taking a boat ride to soak in the city's tranquil charm. And for those who crave a modern twist, IOI Resort City ups the ante with the jaw-dropping IOI City Mall, the largest in Malaysia and third-largest in the world, offering endless entertainment.
Inside this retail haven lies IOI City Farm, Putrajaya's first indoor urban farm park. A mix of education and fun, it's a unique spot where visitors can interact with adorable animals, learn about sustainable farming, and explore lush greenery — all in the middle of a mall!
Add District 21 for adrenaline-pumping thrills, an Olympic-sized ice-skating rink for some frosty fun, and dining options to suit every palate, and you've got a perfect blend of nature, adventure, and urban excitement in one vibrant city. Putrajaya isn't just a detour; it's a destination with something for everyone.

PUTRAJAYA MARRIOTT HOTEL
The Putrajaya Marriott Hotel has strutted back onto the scene with a relaunch on Nov 14, proving that old favourites can get a glow-up too. As Malaysia's first Marriott, it's now rocking songket-inspired rooms, a surreal Red Forest installation by artist Kaiyi Wong and enough flair to impress even the fussiest traveller.
With convention-grade halls perfect for "I do's" and big bashes, scenic trails, a splash zone (Owen the Owl-approved), and dining that spans from Zest's hearty spreads to Summer Palace's bold flavours, this iconic hotel is back — better, bolder, and ready to charm its way into your next getaway.
