2025 Sekudai Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in June)

#johorjaya One of the top reasons to consider this hotel is the location. It is conveniently located directly above Paradigm Mall with direct access from the hotel's ground floor. Huge mall with plenty of shops, ranging from apparel to fast-food. There are also a few massage parlours in the mall if you need some self-pampering.overall it good for me and nice hotel too

#spas #100waysoftravel My visit to the Bali Thai Spa in Sutera Johor was a deeply soothing experience, marked by an ambiance that whisked me away from the bustle of everyday life. As soon as I stepped inside, I was greeted by a tranquil atmosphere, where gentle, traditional music and a subtly exotic aroma set the tone for relaxation. The highlight of my visit was the aromatherapy massage, a treatment that expertly combined the therapeutic techniques of both Balinese and Thai massage traditions. The therapist used a blend of essential oils, each chosen for their calming properties. The gentle yet firm pressure applied during the massage helped ease my muscle tension, while the aromatic oils worked to soothe my senses, creating a holistic experience that was both physically and mentally rejuvenating. The spa itself boasted beautifully decorated interiors that reflected the cultural essence of Bali and Thailand. Soft lighting and elegant, natural decor elements, such as stone statues and water features, enhanced the serene and authentic environment, making it easy to relax and let go of any stress. Overall, my massage at Bali Thai Spa was not just a physical relief but a sensory journey that left me feeling refreshed and centered. #BaliThaiSpa #JohorSpas #AromatherapyMassage #Relaxation #WellnessJourney #SpaDay #TherapeuticMassage #BaliThaiExperience #SuteraJohor #PeacefulEscape

#traveldiaries This is a super nice hotel in Johor Bahru and it is inside a shopping center. We like it and also have book a few stay here. We prefer Austin area but the hotels there are not so new so we don’t mind the travelling time. We really like the rooms at Hyatt Place Johor Bahru and we always book 2 rooms for our stay. Each room has a sofa and it is large and comfortable to sleep there. There is no bathtub but it is ok for us since we prefer standing shower. The hotel is connected to the mall and there is a shortcut to the mall but this door is only open from 10am to 10pm.

✨Hotel Highlights We stayed at Hyatt place over the weekend for a quick JB eat and shop trip at Paradigm mall. They provided us a comfortable stay and we will definitely come back. ♨️Amenities They have a lovely hotel with amazing amenities including a pool, Gym, snacks bar, and lounge! 🛁Room Environment The room was large and spacious, with quality bed linen that made me feel like I'm sleeping on clouds! 🍽️Breakfast Decent intercontinental breakfast served with a large variety. #hyatt #hyattplace #hyattjohor #johorbaru #johorholiday

#hotelwithaview #shopping #shoppingspree #restandrelax #climatecontrol #goodwaterpressure A really nice short getaway and enjoyed my stay in this very clean and comfortable hotel. Staff were friendly, informative and the breakfast provided was more than adequate for this brand. This was one hotel where I didn't have to adjust the AC and didn't perspire under a thick duvet cover. Environment friendly thought was everywhere from the wooden doorknob sign to the bathroom amenities. The TV was good with casting ability from your phone. Only thing that didn't work was the alarm clock but who uses that anyway? Definitely a hotel to recommend.

Address: Paradigm Mall, Jln Mewah Ria 2, Taman Bukit Mewah, 81200 Johor Bahru, Johor, Malaysia A newly open hotel in Johor Bahru and located inside one of the popular shopping malls in Johor Bahru. Hyatt Place Johor Bahru is located inside Paradigm Mall and you know they are popular with Singaporean during weekends. All their rooms are of the same size and come with sofa bed but their views are different. Try to choose the rooms swimming pool views or city views so you can avoid the less desirable views. If you have breakfast included, there is an automatic orange juice machine whereby you can squeeze your own orange juice. #malaysiatrip #familytrips2024 #mytripvlog #johorbahru #malaysia #liveyourdreams #takethattrip

#freehotelstay Last November, we went to join our friend at Hyatt Place Johor Bahru for breakfast when they were in Malaysia. The hotel was newly reopened back then so we were rather excited to visit it. The hotel is located above Paradigm mall which has been opened for years. And most tourist have been hoping for the hotel to be completed. Finally in November 2024 it opened! Though we felt that the buffet spread wasn’t a lot and the seating area might be enough if the hotel is in full capacity. But for the price point, there is not complaining!

#malaysia I was over at Sutera mall and decided to hop over to this beautiful cafe called Bawang Cha Ji in Johor Bahru. Which kinda blew my mind how pretty it is compared to typical cafes or stores in JB. It felt like I have step into another world. Almost like in Kyoto. Because it was a Monday the cafe was really quiet too. I would have brought my laptop along next time. While Chagee is still quite expensive in Malaysia, I think if it’s dining in at this cafe, I would gladly pay for the price and environment. Because this cafe is unlike those togo shops. (Cafe is outside the mall.)

#freehotelstay #weekendgetaways bring me to Johor Bahru for weekend feasting at a cute cafe. Their name is su·ichi·ko, a Japanese inspired cafe. They are open everyday from 11am until 10pm, Be sure to try their mille crepe cakes if not you can also order delivery too. It is also a florist shop, and they have cats roaming in the cafe. My favourite memories at this place is when the cats jump up behind my and land on my table and I managed to catch her. The interior of the cafe is so pleasing to the eyes and you can really feel the calmness sitting inside here. This cafe is on the same street as Hako Hotel at Skudai.

On first glance, you would ask yourself why would there be so much youngsters hanging around an old mall like Sutera mall, but you would also quickly realise that they are all heading outside. Right behind Sutera mall is the chill day night market, where you can find shops selling that are from across South east Asia like exotic meat, xxl fried chicken and coconut ice cream just to name a few

This place is located at Sutera at JB- Hock Kee Kopitiam Love the ambiance of this place! This place is so spacious, bright and clean. There are wide variety of food options as well, and I think the prices here are pretty reasonable! I’ve tried quite a bit and will list down what is the must try! 1) Fried mee Siam with Rendang- the fried mee Siam is the best dish out of all from this place! The fried bee hoon is nicely done, not too dry and it’s best to eat with the Sambal! Rendang is good as well, tasty. 2) The charcoal polo bun with kaya. This is nice as well, love the butter in between the bun and the kaya is served at the side, you can dip however much you want. 3) Portuguese egg tart. Can you see how thick is this egg tart? The filling is so smooth and creamy, not too sweet as well, the crust is very crispy. Can taste the layering of the crust. Oh and they also have a wide variety of vegetarian food as well. Bon appetite!

chanced upon this cheap hotel while we were targeting a one night stay near paradigm hotel (1+km away - grab rm5). we paid rm72 for a queen room with window just in case we need to see the weather to prepare what to go out. but the window also serves as a medium for noise to penetrate as our room is on level 1, not too far from the ground level. our neighbour was talking on the phone till 12plus midnight and smoke thereafter came into our room near the connecting door. however the service made it up for these shortcomings as they remembered we asked about the pasam malam last night and checked with us again upon checking out. hairdryer was also available for loan if necessary. #urbanexplorer #境外遊

#summervacay Baliban Braised Duck is a beloved spot nestled in the kampung area of Skudai, Johor Bahru, offering a nostalgic dining experience under the shade of a large tree. The eatery is spacious, neat, and well-organized, with a clean setup that feels inviting despite its humble surroundings. To keep diners comfortable in the tropical heat, the café is equipped with plenty of fans, creating a pleasant environment for enjoying a meal outdoors. Known for its traditional Teochew-style braised duck, Baliban has been serving the community since the 1970s. Their braised duck is tender and infused with rich, herbal flavors that have earned it a loyal following. Alongside the duck, you’ll find other delicacies like pig trotters, fried beancurd skin (tau kee), and duck blood, all slow-cooked to perfection with a savory, aromatic blend of herbs and spices. Some diners mention they would like the duck slices to be a bit thicker for even more flavor, but the overall taste remains deeply satisfying. A highlight of the menu is the herbal duck soup, which is both comforting and flavorful — a perfect complement to the braised meats. The kway teow (flat rice noodles) served in the herbal broth is also a popular choice, offering a hearty and warming dish that’s perfect for any time of day. The kampung setting adds to the charm of Baliban Braised Duck, giving it a laid-back, authentic vibe that draws locals and visitors alike. Despite its simple exterior, the eatery has built a strong reputation for quality and traditional flavors. It’s a place where you can enjoy genuine Johor Bahru culinary heritage in a warm, welcoming atmosphere. If you’re in Skudai and craving a taste of authentic Teochew braised duck and comforting herbal soups, Baliban Braised Duck is definitely worth a visit.

#summervacay Tucked away in Skudai, Capyba Cafe is a unique animal-themed café that brings you up close with some of the most adorable creatures you don’t usually see every day — from fluffy alpacas and a curious capybara, to a pony and a pair of sheep. The concept here is simple yet heartwarming: you dine first, then interact with the animals. Each person is required to make a minimum order (food or drinks), and once you're done with your meal downstairs, the staff will hand you a small salad cup — your golden ticket to the animal zone upstairs. Upstairs is where the magic happens. The space is set up like a cosy indoor petting area, and visitors can hand-feed the animals with the salad provided. Watching alpacas munch happily or the capybara waddle around is a wholesome, slow-paced kind of joy — perfect for families, dates, or just anyone needing a serotonin boost. That said, the space does get very crowded during peak hours. It’s not a huge area, and with the number of people plus animals moving about, it can feel a bit cramped. For the sake of both hygiene and the animals’ well-being, it would be great if the café provided disposable indoor shoes or slippers and required customers to remove their footwear before entering the animal area. Currently, visitors go in with their regular shoes, which may not be the cleanest option especially with so many people coming in and out daily. Overall, Capyba Cafe offers a rare and delightful experience in JB — where else can you sip on a latte and then feed a capybara after? Just try to visit during non-peak hours for a more relaxed time, and go with patience and gentle energy for the animals.

#summervacay We eased into our final morning with the hotel breakfast buffet — a comforting routine by now. Depending on how early we got up (or didn’t), we caught the tail end of it before everything closed around 10.30am. Light bites, coffee, and one last round of toast and eggs before packing up. By 12pm, we checked out of Hotel Granada and headed off to continue our food journey — because the trip’s not over till dessert. At 12.30pm, we dropped by Soeurs Coffee, a minimalist café tucked away in a quiet spot that instantly felt like a soft escape. Their mochi cheesecake was a standout — creamy and light with that perfect chewy bite of mochi hidden in the center. We paired it with their signature Amulet Coffee, which came with a mini “amulet” charm — a cute detail that made the experience feel just a little more special. At 2.30pm, we arrived at Baliban Braised Duck for something heartier. The duck was rich, tender, and beautifully braised — savoury, slightly herbal, and fall-off-the-bone good. It felt like a very local, soulful lunch, and honestly one of the more underrated meals of the trip. Next was Paradigm Mall at 4pm — one last stop to walk off the meal, browse some shops, and cool down indoors. We made time for a drink at Beautea, known for their aesthetic drinks and floral vibes. A refreshing pause before our final destination. And finally, at 6pm, we made our way to Marine Beach Bar by Danga Bay Country Garden just in time for sunset. With hues of soft pink, golden amber, and purple washing over the sky, it was the perfect place to unwind. The beach bar had laid-back vibes, a swing set overlooking the water, and the warm ocean breeze that made everything feel slow and cinematic. A gentle, beautiful close to our Johor escape — full of flavour, calm, and a little bit of magic.

#summervacay We started the day with a leisurely breakfast buffet at Hotel Granada — nothing too fancy, but comforting and familiar. A mix of local and Western options: nasi lemak, eggs, toast, cereal, and a decent spread of fruits and pastries. It was a relaxed morning, and we took our time over coffee before heading out for another round of cafe hopping. At 10am, we made our way to Layer Bakehouse — a hidden gem nestled deep in the kampung area of Skudai. Despite its ulu location, it was already buzzing with locals. The interior had clean, minimalist vibes, but the highlight was hands down the pistachio basque cheesecake. Rich, creamy, and bursting with real pistachio flavour — it was one of the best we’ve ever had. We paired it with a peanut butter latte and soaked in the quiet morning calm. By 12pm, we were at Capyba Cafe, an animal café with a quirky charm. We ordered our drinks and had to dine in downstairs first (minimum order per person), before heading upstairs where the real fun begins. The staff handed us a little salad cup to feed the animals, and we were greeted by capybaras, alpacas, sheep, and even a pony. It was surprisingly clean and well-kept, and the capybara pudding was almost too cute to eat — almost. At 2pm, we stepped into the magical space that is Lune24 — a glasshouse café that looked like it belonged in a fairytale. Think soft lighting, flowing curtains, floral accents, and floor-to-ceiling windows. We spent a good while just taking in the dreamy atmosphere and snapping photos. Afterwards, we grabbed a drink from Furiku next door — the matcha strawberry yogurt was light, creamy, and just the right balance of sweet and tangy. We headed to Sutera Mall around 6pm to do a bit of browsing and window shopping — the usual familiar brands and local shops. Then at 8pm, we wrapped up the night at Bestari Walk, an outdoor container-style food court with lively vibes and neon lights. Rows of food stalls, sizzling woks, street food aroma in the air — it was the perfect casual dinner spot. We walked around, picked a little of everything, and sat under the stars enjoying the buzz of the local night scene. A laidback end to a day filled with soft lights, sweet treats, and Skudai charm.

#summervacay Tucked away in the heart of Skudai, Johor Bahru, Soeurs Coffee offers a unique blend of contemporary aesthetics and culinary delights. This café stands out not only for its chic industrial design but also for its distinctive menu items that are hard to find elsewhere. Soeurs Coffee boasts an industrial-chic ambiance characterized by raw concrete walls, minimalist décor, and steel furniture. The space is thoughtfully designed, creating a cozy yet modern atmosphere that invites patrons to relax and savor their meals. The café's interior exudes a calm and welcoming vibe, making it an ideal spot for both casual meetups and solo visits. The menu at Soeurs Coffee is a delightful fusion of Western and Asian influences, offering dishes that are both comforting and innovative. Mochi cheesecake is one of their signature desserts — a soft, pillowy treat that combines the rich flavors of traditional cheesecake with the chewy texture of mochi. It’s a unique dessert that stands out in the local café scene. Amulet coffee is a specialty drink here, known for its distinctive presentation and flavor profile. While details about the exact preparation are a bit elusive, it adds a mystical touch to your coffee experience. For a satisfying meal, the pomodoro pappardelle is a popular choice. Wide ribbons of pappardelle pasta are tossed in a rich tomato sauce, making it a comforting and hearty dish. Customers often praise Soeurs Coffee for its attentive service and high-quality offerings. The staff are friendly and accommodating, creating a welcoming environment that encourages guests to relax and enjoy their time, whether it’s a quick coffee or a leisurely meal. Located conveniently in Skudai, Soeurs Coffee is easy to find for locals and visitors alike. Its central location makes it a great spot to stop by when exploring the area or looking for a cozy café with something a little different. All in all, Soeurs Coffee offers more than just food and drinks — it provides a unique experience marked by its stylish ambiance and rare menu finds. It’s definitely worth a visit if you’re in Johor Bahru and want to try something new and memorable.

#summervacay Furiku Matcha at Sutera Mall was such a surprising find. Tucked away in a small corner near the entrance (Shop G‑027a), this little kiosk-style spot brings a whole matcha experience rather than just another drink. You don’t just order from a menu—they let you choose your own matcha strength (easy, intermediate, or advance), your base (we went for the strawberry yogurt), and top it off with your pick of premium toppings. We chose the matcha gelato, of course. What made it extra special was watching the whole process unfold. Right in front of us, the staff began the ritual of whisking matcha from scratch—the bamboo whisk moving in smooth circles in a little glass bowl, the deep green powder dissolving into a velvety swirl. It’s kind of meditative, and it really adds to the appreciation of what you’re drinking. Our combo of matcha strawberry yogurt with matcha gelato was perfect. The yogurt was slightly tangy and refreshing, which balanced beautifully with the bold, earthy matcha flavor. And the gelato? Smooth, rich, and subtly sweet—just enough to complement everything without being overpowering. It felt like a very intentional, crafted dessert-drink hybrid. Outside the mall, there’s something that really completes the whole vibe—a bright red torii gate standing tall near the entrance. It’s unexpected in a shopping mall setting, but somehow works. It gives the place a little cultural charm, like a soft nod to Kyoto streets or a hidden alley in Japan. That little touch sets the tone even before you walk in, and honestly, it matches the quiet elegance of Furiku really well. If you’re in Sutera and love matcha, this is a stop worth making. Come for the drinks, stay for the experience.

#summervacay Tucked away in a quiet corner of Skudai, Lune24 feels like stumbling into a fairytale garden café. Surrounded by lush greenery, rustic stone paths, and soft fairy lights, this dreamy glasshouse space gives off major Ghibli-meets-vintage-cottagecore vibes — the kind of place where time slows down and every corner looks like a film still. We visited on a slow afternoon and couldn’t resist their pistachio cheesecake — creamy, nutty, and indulgent with every bite, beautifully presented on ceramic plates that added to the whole aesthetic. Paired with an iced flat white latte, served in a ribbed glass with warm minimalist tones, it was the perfect balance of rich and refreshing. Every sip and bite felt like a quiet luxury. The interior is flooded with natural light, thanks to the all-glass architecture, while potted plants, old-school tiles, and vintage furniture bring warmth and charm. You can choose to sit indoors under soft ceiling fans or step outside into their romantic garden seating, where vines, twinkling lights, and leafy overgrowth wrap you in calm. There’s something magical about the way Lune24 blends nature with nostalgic design. Whether you’re there for a peaceful solo coffee, an aesthetic date spot, or just to escape the bustle of the city for a while, this café invites you to breathe, linger, and soak in the slow beauty of the moment. #thingstodo #afternoonteatime #naturalwonders #couplestrip #myitinerary #localfood

#summervacay Deep in the heart of Skudai, surrounded by kampung roads and quiet homes, you’ll find a surprise that feels worlds away from the usual café scene — Layer Bakehouse. Minimalist, calm, and quietly charming, this little spot has become a local favourite despite being in a pretty ulu area. And once you try their desserts, you’ll understand why people are willing to make the detour. Their pistachio basque cheesecake is the real star. It’s insanely rich, smooth, and loaded with pure pistachio flavour — not the artificial kind, but the deep, roasted nuttiness that lingers on your palate. It’s so creamy it almost melts into the fork, and every bite is like pistachio heaven. No exaggeration — if you’re a pistachio lover, this might just ruin other cheesecakes for you. We also had their peanut butter latte, which pairs perfectly with the richness of the cake. Nutty, aromatic, and just slightly sweet, it’s a fun twist that still keeps the coffee comforting. The café itself is minimalist and thoughtfully designed — clean lines, soft lighting, and a warm, relaxing space that makes you want to stay a while. Their display counter is filled with an ever-changing selection of in-house baked cakes and desserts. You’ll find everything from delicate tarts to modern bakes that show a lot of heart and creativity. Considering how tucked away it is, it’s impressive how many people make the trip — mostly locals who know where the good stuff is. Whether you’re here for a quiet afternoon or just passing through Skudai, Layer Bakehouse is one of those rare spots that feels like a true find.

#summervacay Treasure Thai at Horizon Hills, Skudai, is a truly unique dining spot that effortlessly blends nature, whimsy, and authentic Thai flavors. The moment you step inside, you’re greeted by a farmhouse-style greenhouse space that feels like it’s been lifted straight from a Totoro anime scene — lush greenery surrounds you, creating a peaceful oasis that invites you to slow down and soak in the atmosphere. Nestled within Fika Farmhouse, the ambiance here is one of the restaurant’s standout features. During the day, sunlight filters softly through the glass roof, illuminating the plants and giving everything a fresh, natural glow. But the magic really happens after sunset. Around 6:30 pm, the space transforms into a fairy-lit wonderland, reminiscent of a scene from Spirited Away. Twinkling lights drape overhead, casting a romantic and almost otherworldly glow. It’s the perfect setting for a laid-back evening, whether you’re there for a casual dinner or a special night out. Just remember to bring mosquito repellent — the lush greenery and open-air feel do attract a few bugs. Food-wise, Treasure Thai doesn’t disappoint. We enjoyed the green curry pork chop, a rich and flavorful dish that balanced creamy coconut milk with the fragrant spices of Thai curry. The tomyam mama noodles delivered that signature spicy, sour punch, comforting and perfectly balanced. The street food platter was a great way to sample a variety of classic bites, each bursting with authentic flavors. And for just RM3, the Thai boat noodles were surprisingly satisfying — a real bargain and a must-try. Adding to the charm is the friendly resident cat that roams the space, giving the place a cozy, homey vibe that makes you feel instantly welcome. Plus, there’s a projector at the front where movie screenings add a fun, communal touch to the dining experience, especially in the evenings. Overall, Treasure Thai at Horizon Hills offers more than just a meal — it’s an experience. With its farmhouse, nature-inspired aesthetic, anime-like charm, and solid Thai dishes, it’s a place that invites you to linger, enjoy good food, and soak up the enchanting atmosphere of Skudai after dark. #travel #couplestrip #naturalwonders #myitinerary #localfood #thingstodo

We just wanted to go to legoland at first but found a lot of interesting places to go in Johor. It’s school holiday, and while the kids (and the parents) would surely enjoy their time at Legoland, we wanted something to enjoy at night as well. So we went to the Capyba Cafe at Skudai, to cuddle with cute capybaras and alpacas after a long day of playing. You only have to order 1 menu for each person, and they’ll give you a few carrot sticks to go upstairs to feed the animals. The special drink and pudding are so good and unique, the kids love it so much. To our surprise, they also let us feed the little pony, llamas and goat. The goat has towels wrapped on its horns so it won’t hurt people, and it’s so cute we had to ask for an extra feed for it! Other place to go with kids are the Midvalley Southkey Mall and Toppen Mall. They are close to each other and only 10-15 minutes from JB Sentral area. Midvalley has disney themed event going, and Toppen is another heaven for those who likes to play! We never thought we would enjoy Johor so much. We landed in Singapore and into Johor by bus, but if you are with kids, i’d suggest to take the KTM Tebrau train or rent a private car to avoid the hassle of standing in a long line with suitcases.#johor #legojb #capybaracafe #jb

Capyba Café, located in Skudai, Johor Bahru, is Malaysia’s first capybara-themed café—a delightful new addition to JB’s pet café scene just ~30 minutes from the checkpoint .

The vibe is relaxed, clean, and perfect for a slow afternoon of animal therapy
