Bagan Lalang

If you have a few hours to spare and would like to do a day trip to a beach near KLIA or KLIA2, head for Bagan Lalang beach which is less than an hour away by road. Although this beach is not suitable for swimming, it is still a good place to unwind after a hectic day of work.

Just beside the beach is the 5 Star hotel which is built 1km towards the sea. Known as The Golden Palm Tree Resort & Spa, it is managed by Swiss-Belhotel International. Walk-in rates are much higher than if you were to book online.
