Love is in the Airbnb: Unique Homes for Malaysians to Tie the Knot


They say love can be found in the most unexpected places – and since 2008, an estimated one million couples have looked beyond the traditional wedding destinations and hosted their weddings in Homes on Airbnb* with nearly 700,000 wedding wish lists created by Airbnb travellers**.

For those looking for a ceremony setting that is more unique, or off-the-grid, Airbnb has brides and grooms-to-be covered with these 10 trending wedding destinations across Malaysia, Bali, Phuket and Australia:

The Adventurers

For some couples, a calming beach vista is the ideal backdrop, while others love the thrill of a destination within a stone’s throw of the great outdoors. The destinations below boast majestic mountain views, cascading waterfalls and bubbling hot springs for those seeking an action-packed matrimony.

The Sun Worshipers
While beachy retreats may be overlooked in lieu of other tropical hot spots, but these more secluded oases make for the perfect, low-key wedding spot. Aside from their warm turquoise waters, these seaside towns have much to offer — from white sandy beaches in Bali to breathtaking surf breaks in Merimbula, Australia.

The City Slickers
For couples looking to celebrate their love in a vibrant metropolis with nightlife, incredible food and something for everyone on the guest list, the cities below are rising in favorability.

The Escapists
Truly disconnecting and getting out of town is a trend we’re seeing from Airbnb travelers, and couples planning their weddings on the platform are no different. Many of the trending destinations for weddings this year are in remote locales tucked away in country hills and national parks.

The Culture Connoisseurs
For couples seeking cultural immersions to celebrate their love, plenty of Airbnb’s trending wedding destinations are rich in heritage, art and have hundreds of years of historical significance***.
