Budget friendly chalets in Malaysia

Chalets are a favourite accommodation type in Malaysia. Also known as bungalows, over water chalets in MY are cheaper than their Indonesian counterparts.

Given chalets are standalone structures they’re more roomy than building-bound hotel rooms in the same price category. They’re also more private and idyllic as they’re more out to sea, situated on the beach or directly in the water. These budget friendly chalets will have you wondering why you’re not already there in your birthday suits!
