Referred to as "KL" by the locals, Kuala Lumpur is Malaysia's capital city and it provides the typical wide range of activities (cultural, adventure, food, music, shopping) found in a big, cosmopolitan city. Kuala Lumpur is only an hour's flight (or a five-hour bus ride) from Singapore.

Aside from the great food scene and excellent shopping in KL, be sure to visit two of the city's (and the world's) tallest attractions. The Petronas Twin Towers were the tallest buildings in the world at one time and remain the tallest twin towers in the world. You can go up to the observation area for amazing city views.

Even taller than the Petronas Twin Towers, the KL Tower , also known as the Menara Kuala Lumpur, is the seventh-tallest freestanding structure in the world, which houses several observation areas and restaurants.

Batam (it's both the name of the city and the island) is an idyllic Indonesian island getaway from Singapore. It's only about an hour away by ferry and has some breathtaking beaches, delicious seafood, and a lot of outdoor activities.

You can do all kinds of things on the water, including sailing, surfing, and jet skiing. There's even a water ski park, with multiple cables that pull you through the water (no ski boats needed).

A very popular tourist attraction, the Legoland Malaysia Resort is in Johor Bahru, as is one of the region's largest outlet malls, the Johor Outlets.

This ancient city is on the Indonesian island of Java, about a two-and-a-half-hour flight from Singapore. Ruled by a sultan, Yogyakarta is the only recognized monarchy in Indonesia. It's the best place to learn about and experience traditional Javanese culture, including art, textiles, music, and literature.

The city's history goes back to its founding in the 8 th century CE. Borobudur and Prambanan are two significant archeological sites, ancient temple complexes like Cambodia's Angkor Wat. Borobudur is the world's largest Buddhist temple, and Prambanan is a Hindu temple complex built in the 9 th century. They're both about an hour outside the city, and both are must-see attractions .

Langkawi is a Malaysian archipelago of 99 islands located near the border with Thailand. This Malaysian beach resort near Singapore is a 90-minute flight from Changi Airport. The main island is Langkawi Island, and it's part of the Southern Islands area, which is popular with tourists. The Northern Islands are mostly deserted and not open to visitors.

The islands are popular with beachgoers, as well as SCUBA divers and snorkelers. Be sure to ride the cable car up Gunung Mat Chinchang mountain, as then you can walk on the Sky Bridge. It's a raised walkway allowing visitors to get a close-up look at the fascinating world of the rainforest canopy.

The destination really does have something for everyone, from tropical beaches fronting azure waters to nature reserves filled with protected flora and fauna. Unlike some of the other island getaway destinations close to Singapore, Langkawi offers visitors the full range of luxury resort options from all the major international brands.

This Cambodian city is just over a two-hour flight from Singapore. The focus in Siem Reap is, of course, on the amazing Angkor temple complex, which is actually several vast archeological sites including Angkor Wat, Angkor Thom, Bayon, Ta Prohm, and Banteay Srei. It's a popular tourist destination, so there are lots of hotels (in all price points) and restaurants in the small town.

An early morning hot air balloon flight is an excellent way to get a drone's-eye view of all the ruin sites. Cambodia's capital city of Phnom Penh is also an hour's flight from Singapore and offers an exciting mix of history, culture, shopping, and food.

Borneo is Asia's largest island, less than a three-hour flight from Singapore. The island is divided between Indonesia and Malaysia with a small part taken up by the country of Brunei.

It's a very special place ecologically, covered by one of the oldest rainforests in the world. These rainforests are filled with a dizzying array of animals, including the endangered Borneo orangutan. There are several sanctuaries on the island where the great apes can be viewed close-up.

Kota Kinabalu is one of the main cities on the island and a good place to start your Borneo adventures.

Brunei is a tiny nation, a part of the island of Borneo, sharing the island with both Indonesia and Malaysia. Independent since 1984, the country has great wealth due to oil and natural gas resources.

It's a very safe place to visit and is just starting to appear on international travelers' radars. Brunei has also started to really make an effort to appeal to travelers, with English signage and speakers and good internal transportation infrastructure.

The big appeal here is the rainforests and sheer natural beauty. There are also stunning coastal areas. Both are filled with a variety of indigenous natural flora and fauna. There are a lot of options for outdoor activities and adventure sports, too.

Brunei is also home to some amazing culture and history, going back tens of thousands of years. To promote cultural experiences, the government coordinates homestays where travelers can experience Brunei's culture first-hand.

The best way to get from Singapore to Brunei is to fly; it's about a two-hour flight. You could combine a Borneo and Brunei visit on the same trip.

What To Pack

When packing for Singapore in June, considering the city-state’s tropical climate and cultural norms is essential. Here are the items you should include in your luggage:

Though the literal translation is meat/pork bone tea, there is no tea in this broth. Chinese in its origin, Bak Kut Teh is a pork rib soup prepared in herbal broth and resembles the colour of tea. Basically, Pork ribs are boiled until tender along with spices such as star anise and pepper. Where to order : Song Fa Bak Kut Teh

A Singaporean invention that elevated the humble and overlooked stingray from a cheap, poor tasting fish to a must-have item.

Where to order : Orgo

• Singapore could experience a fair-share of Sumatras - squall lines that cause lightning and thunderstorms in June. So keep yourself updated on the weather to avoid any travel-related hassles.
• During the month of June, Singapore and the surrounding islands are engulfed in smoke haze due to large-scale burning in many parts of Sumatra and Borneo. It is advisable to carry protective face masks and take other necessary precautions.
• First and foremost, to circumvent the heat effects, start your day early, so by the time scorching sun comes over your head, you’d have already had a few adventures under your belt. Additionally, the key to survive the heat wave of southwest Asia and to make the most of your time there is to stay hydrated. Carry a water bottle and swig as often as possible.
• June marks the onset of tourist season in Singapore - festivals, shopping sales, and holidays invite a flock of tourists to the Island. Pre-book hotels, flights, attractions you want to visit; this not just saves your valuable time, but discounts offered online could help you save more than just a few Singapore dollars.
• Singapore is a melting pot of various cultures and their respective cuisines. The hawker-stall culture is quite prevalent in the city, so don’t forget to try some lip-smacking dishes at places such as Tiong Bahru Market, Bedok Marketplace, Lau Pa Sat, Maxwell Food Centre, and Tekka Centre among others.

It's not that there isn’t a silver lining in this scorching heatwave. We're soaking up plenty of Vitamin D, and laundry has never dried faster. The blissfully chilled cinemas finally have air-conditioning set in the Goldilocks zone – not too hot, not too cold.

But that hasn’t stopped me from hatching a quick escape plan and locating 10 nearby destinations that have kept their cool despite Asia’s sizzling temperatures. If your annual leave balance and the skyrocketing airfares are hindering your cross-continental adventures too, this list could come in handy.

SAPA, VIETNAM

Lowest: January (11 to 5 degrees Celsius)

Highest: July (24 to 17 degrees Celsius)

Sapa is accessible via an 8-hour sleeper train ride from Hanoi that will leave you refreshed upon arrival for more reasons than one. With cool temperatures year-round, Sapa offers respite even during the "hottest" months of June to August.

But the destination's allure extends beyond its climate, from villages and homestays teeming with culture to rice terraces and waterfalls littered along guided treks and motorbike tours. You can conquer Southeast Asia’s lofty peak, Fansipan, on a hike, or hop onboard a fancy funicular ride for the smug satisfaction of basking in the panoramic vistas without breaking a single bead of perspiration.

Keep in mind that Sapa's mist and fog can play spoilsport, so be sure to check the weather forecast, especially if you plan on catching the sunrise from the Glass Bottom Bridge, perched 2,200m above sea level.

BA NA HILLS, VIETNAM

Lowest: January (10 to 16 degrees Celsius)

Highest: July (26 to 17 degrees Celsius)

While Sapa charms with its rustic appeal, Ba Na Hills, perched at an altitude of 1,489 metres on Nui Chua Mountain, offers a slightly more curated experience. This resort town is located just 35 kilometres from Da Nang's city centre in Central Vietnam and can be easily accessed by bus, private hire, or GrabCar. Ba Na Hills owes its fame to the iconic Golden Hand Bridge, suspended in the clouds by two colossal stone hands, and an instant social media sensation since its launch in 2018.

This family-friendly oasis doesn't stop there — it also boasts an exhilarating alpine coaster and an indoor amusement park. However, for a more intimate experience, couples can retreat to the Mercure Danang French Village Bana Hills. With its gothic-inspired architecture and colonial-themed rooms, this self-contained haven is packed with restaurants, bars, and coffee shops, providing a respite from the bustling crowds.

DA LAT, VIETNAM

Lowest: January (25 to 18 degrees Celsius)

Highest: July (32 to 20 degrees Celsius)

The illusion of a French holiday continues in Da Lat, dubbed the “Paris of Vietnam”. Nestled in the lush Central Highlands of Southern Vietnam, Da Lat is an 8-hour bus ride (or a swift domestic flight) away from Ho Chi Minh.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by ttvawn ở Đà Lạt (@ttvawn)

Here, European allure takes shape in picturesque railway stations, churches, and accommodations that are attractions in and of themselves. Take the rich history of Cadasa Resort Dalat, with French-style villas once cherished by artists, aristocrats, and politicians; or Dalat Wonder Resort, where hillside bungalows overlook the Tuyen Lake and pine forests.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Dalat Wonder Resort (@dalatwonderresort)

Thrill-seekers will not be disappointed in Dalat, as waterfall canyoning, high rope courses, and mountain bike trails await in its backyard. What better way to work up an appetite for the farm-to-table experiences its bountiful land has to offer?

CAMERON HIGHLANDS, MALAYSIA

Also new on the block are unique glamping spots, like the bubble domes at A’Moss Farmstay and cosy caravans at Stellar GoldenHill, and the luxurious Zenith Cameron Hotel. Alternatively, you can relive your childhood at Lakehouse Cameron Highlands, a Tudor-style boutique resort nestled on the hillside; and the 5-star Cameron Highlands Resort, featuring a spa village and colonial-style tea room set against the rolling hills.

GENTING HIGHLANDS, MALAYSIA

Lowest: December (32 to 24 degrees Celsius)

Highest: May (33 to 25 degrees Celsius)

Can’t remember the last time you visited Genting Highlands? Well, you’re in for a surprise. Not only do coaches now offer "first-class" recliner seats and onboard entertainment, but the entire place has received a massive facelift.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by KG⁷✨ (@kimberchichi)

Among the exciting new developments is the luxurious Crockfords Hotel, a lavish 5-star property featuring private steam baths and even mahjong tables in the rooms, and the family-friendly Genting SkyWorlds Hotel, with rooms for up to six people. The latter is conveniently located near the theme park, where long queues have become a thing of the past. Thanks to the new VQ Reservations feature, you can now reserve timed entries for rides, attractions, and shows to make the most of your time there.

KUNDASANG, MALAYSIA

Lowest: February (27 to 21 degrees Celsius)

Highest: April (28 to 22 degrees Celsius)

The town of Kundasang, situated at the base of Sabah’s majestic Mount Kinabalu, has earned the nickname “the New Zealand of Malaysia”.  Its claim to fame lies not only in the sweater weather, but also the landscapes that resemble a postcard from down under.

Enter Desa, a sprawling 200-hectare property with verdant pastures where dairy cows graze, set against a backdrop of blue skies and rolling hills. Here, you can indulge in the freshest ice cream, cheese, and milk, straight from the source and worth the trouble of packing lactose pills.

KHAO KHO, THAILAND

Lowest: December (27 to 13 degrees Celsius)

Highest: April (33 to 20 degrees Celsius)

Khao Kho, a Thai destination worlds apart from Bangkok, is just a six-hour drive away.

If you miss it this year, fear not, you’re still in time for the cherry blossoms from December to January.

Sweater weather and views of the Phetchabun mountain range will feed the soul in ways the city of Bangkok can’t, and Wat Prathat Phasornkaew is a good place to start. The architectural marvel comprises five sitting Buddha statues and a main pagoda, adorned with over 5 million vibrant mosaic tiles and pottery shards. The Imperial Phukaew Hill Resort, a luxurious Swiss-style hotel, serves as yet another vantage point, offering one- to four-bedroom chalets furnished with fireplaces to soak it all in.

KHAO YAI, THAILAND

Lowest: December (27 to 16 degrees Celsius)

Highest: May (32 to 20 degrees Celsius)

If you prefer someplace closer to Bangkok, Khao Yai is located just three hours away by car. That public transport and private hire cars are close to non-existent here is part of its idyllic charm, though it means you’d have to rent a ride or hire a driver.

Khao Yai feels like a playground for all things European-inspired, showcasing unique attractions that will transport you across the globe.

Up north, Chiang Rai makes a quaint getaway from the city of Chiang Mai. Located three hours away by car, the town is renowned for its iconic white and blue temples, Wat Rong Khun and Rong Suea Ten respectively, but is equally promising for nature lovers.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Singha Park Chiang Rai (@singhapark_chiangrai)

View this post on Instagram A post shared by 阿里山 新印象🌄官方Instagram (@travelalishan)

Getting to Alishan, a mountain township located southwest of Taipei, is a breeze with a high-speed rail and shuttle bus combo that takes approximately four hours. With eighteen majestic mountains wrapped around it, Alishan stands tall as the envy of Taiwan's landscape, and the Alishan National Forest Recreation Area is its poster child.

The beloved Alishan Forest Railway is not only renowned for its meandering route through misty woodlands but also for the delightful traditional railway lunch box, a Fenqihu town specialty.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Danit Jantarawirot (@danitttttttt)

While Alishan draws avid hikers with its bamboo forests, waterfalls, and tea plantations, the latter has just as much to offer leisurely explorers. At the Youyou Basi Tsou Cultural Tribe Park, for instance, visitors can sample freshly-brewed coffee and tea and learn to make aiyu jelly from scratch, all while getting schooled on Alishan’s aboriginal culture.

From incredible hiking and mountain top yoga to music and food festivals, Aspen is definitely still an “it” destination during the warmer months. Not to mention, the city is peppered with well-appointed luxury hotels, incredible restaurants, and world-class spas, so you can pamper yourself and refuel after a day of outdoor activities.

12) Anacapri, Capri, Italy

Between the jagged cliffs, stacked hillside homes and vast stretches of dazzling blue water, the Amalfi Coast is certainly not short on screensaver-worthy views. However, it can get pretty packed with tourists in cities like Positano during the peak summer months, so we recommend heading to Anacapri (the most exclusive and unspoiled part of the island of Capri) instead.

June is the ideal time to visit Anacapri, since the island hosts the international music, art and culture festival Spoleto Festival dei Due Mondi (starting on June 23). Additionally, the Festival of Sant’Antonio (the patron saint of Anacapri) is celebrated on June 13; in the week leading up to the feast day, the Church of Santa Sofia and the historic center of Anacapri are decorated with lights and banners.

Where to Stay: Capri Palace

13) Montana

This summer, book a trip to Montana for unspoiled natural beauty and an unplugged vacation you won’t soon forget. We recommend glamping in style at Under Canvas, which is located just 10 minutes from Glacier National Park. It’s open for the season beginning June 6, just as the weather starts to get a bit warmer (highs in Glacier hover around 62 degrees in June, in case you need a break from the heat). Between wildlife spotting, fly fishing, hiking, yoga, stargazing and even a rafting dinner trip, this is the ultimate adult summer camp experience.

Where to Stay: Under Canvas Glacier

Aruba is the ideal spot for a tropical vacation in June, since it sits south of the hurricane belt and only gets about 15 inches of rainfall each year (read: It's a pretty safe bet you'll have hot weather and get to enjoy the beautiful beaches ). This Caribbean island is a prime place for snorkeling and SCUBA diving, and there's a good chance you'll see sea turtles (nesting season runs from March through September). You can also head to Flamingo Beach on Renaissance Island for an Instagram-worthy pic.

Where to Stay: Bucuti and Tara Beach Resort

15) Singapore

Singapore should be on your travel list if you’re craving an unforgettable cultural experience this summer. From art galleries and museums to botanical gardens and hawker centers (outdoor food courts), there’s no shortage of fun to be had on this Asian island country. Don’t miss the Kampong Glam historic district for delicious food, art and local handicraft.

Where to Stay: Raffles Hotel
