9 of us came here for 2 nights and took up pretty much every villa. Malihom is perched up on a hill surrounded by rainforest and rural space. It's quite close to the airport, but the ride up the hill is VERY steep, I would suggest relying on the resort's in-house vehicles to get you up the road, not sure... More

It's difficult to put into words just how beautiful Malihom is. 8 Thai 'Barns' hidden away on a mountain top surrounded by jungle, each with the most breathtaking views, which you can even enjoy while soaking in the bath!! I've been describing the rooms as romantically rustic and they were spotless. The communal areas and pool are welcoming and very... More

I booked a stay at Malihom for a much needed rest after a turbulent year. After three nights I extended my stay to ten! The staff is delightful, the managing couple Thida and Min went out of their way to make my stay as pleasurable as possible. The accomodation is rustic and fantastic and the views are absolutely amazing. The... More

Malihom is a place where body and mind can rest. A sense of total tranquility on top of a jungle hill where one can dream and let your mind wander through the magnificent wilderness. I came to Malihom for a week to rest after a rather busy season in Television and needed to clear my head. I found tranquility, great... More

We spent there barely 24 hours, but we remember it with so much pleasure! Beautiful decoration, atmosphere, really relaxing place. Nice pool as well, and great food and great staff! In the gardens we saw one monitor lizard! Would go back for sure!

We stayed at Malihom for 3 days, one of which was Christmas Day. We stayed in Sankhara barn which overlooked the straits of Melaka, beautiful view and would highly recommend. However all the barns look lovely. The pool is very refreshing as its filled with the estate's natural springwater. Could maybe have a few more sunbeds around the pool area.... More

I've been to Penang many times and have never heard of Malihom till I stumbled upon reviews of this estate on tripadvisor while doing research on where to stay in Penang. We made bookings for one night which was just enough for us because an extra day here and we would probably have gotten restless. Malihom is a great destination... More
