Kota Bharu Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)

Wonderful nature at Lata Kashmir Jeli Kelantan

A river is a natural flowing watercourse, usually freshwater stream, flowing on the surface or inside caves towards another waterbody at a lower elevation, such as an ocean, sea, bay, lake, wetland, or another river. In some cases, a river flows into the ground or becomes dry at the end of its course without reaching another body of water. Small rivers can be referred to using names such as creek, brook, and rivulet. There are no official definitions for the generic term river as applied to geographic features, although in some countries or communities, a stream is defined by its size. Rivers are an important part of the water cycle. Water from a drainage basin generally collects into a river through surface runoff from precipitation, meltwater released from natural ice and snowpacks, and other underground sources such as groundwater recharge and springs. Rivers are often considered major features within a landscape; however, they actually only cover around 0.1% of the land on Earth. Rivers are also an important natural terraformer, as the erosive action of running water carves out rills, gullies, and valleys in the surface, as well as transferring silt and dissolved minerals downstream, forming river deltas and islands where the flow slows down. As a waterbody, rivers also serve crucial ecological functions by providing and feeding freshwater habitats for aquatic and semiaquatic fauna and flora, especially for migratory fish species, as well as enabling terrestrial ecosystems to thrive in the riparian zones.

Tiny Elephant - Soft Serve & Coffee

Highly recommend; Fresh Milk Brown Sugar. It's very creamy, milky and the froth is so good! Pink Lemonade is very sour and fizzy and the Snowing Berries Pancake is just nice. It will be good if there's whipped cream too cause the honey they gave is not enough. Overall, it's a nice place to hang out and the ambience is instagrammable. #awesomepic #couplestrip #deliciousfood

Snow Town Cafe

very cozy, well air-conditioned, beautiful inside and outside. some corners are very good to take picture of. i think it is Okay but it is reasonable price with the food given we ordered Chicken Chop, Spagetti Carbonara, Spagetti Seafood, Curly Fries, Rainbow Crepe, Mango Bingsu. All of them were Top Notch. im very happy #awesomepic #couplestrip #deliciousfood

Tiap Hari Kopi

The menu 'Kacang Phool' is a must try for everyone who come here. The bread is a good combination with the whatever the condiment. Really love it. Nise Coffe is an espresso based coffee that is mixed with what we call here in Malaysia as 'gula melaka'. Got some unique taste like coffee mixed with with toned up brown sugar. Tho, the coffee taste become less prominent, maybe they can use more espresso to compensate that. The gravy is nice. Super match with the toast served. #awesomepic #couplestrip #deliciousfood

One of the most iconic in Kelantan

Good place for sight seeing, playing kite but not for swimming. There a lot of food stall selling varieties of food such as satar, sotong, udang, ikan, keropok, Maggie ketam, abc, coconut drink etc. Price is ok. Not cheap neither. Pricey seafood. Be extra careful selecting a place to eat though. Parking lot limited during weekends. Public toilet and surau are provided. #tripblazers #MyTripVlog #awesomepic #deliciousfood

Nice beach at Pantai Cahaya Bulan

Amazing food at Hamara's Dining

#deliciousfood#foodie#cafe This restaurant is definitely a hidden gem. Situated around Pantai Cahaya Bulan in Kota Bharu, Kelantan. The location is quite hidden but getting there was relatively easy as there were a lot of signage directing to the restaurant. The food was amazing. We ordered Chilli Butter Clam with Mantou, Creamy Salted Egg Spaghetti, Alfredo Pasta, Lamb Mandy and Kunafeh. All of them were so delicious and the taste were spot-on. The price was reasonable too. I did not take pictures of the restaurant but i can tell you that the ambience reminded me of Balinese sort of things. It was cosy and vintage. Definitely a must-visit. Address - Lot 752, Mukim Semut Api, Kota Bharu,Kelantan Ambiance/Facilities - Balinese, Cosy/ Highlights - Arabic Food, Western Avg. Price per Person - RM25 Rating - 4/5 ⭐

Pantai Cahaya Bulan

Amazing beach, one of the most iconic in Kelantan, east coast of Malaysia. It has also a very interesting history on it. It was said and believed by the locals there the name of the place was named by a former soldier. di ma mentioned dri kay bawal😅😅😅 basta interesting syag story😁😁

Hotel ibis Styles Kota Bharu

This is a modern, vibrant hotel that is very comfortable to stay in. The room was very clean and cozy, and it also came equipped with nice-to-have USB ports and a wireless charger. The staff were also friendly, and there are vending machines in the lobby if anyone needs a quick snack. Furthermore, while I don't have kids myself, there are kid-friendly facilities such as a play room in the lobby and a swimming pool, so families can enjoy their time here. Overall, I would recommend this hotel to anyone who is looking for a comfortable stay in Kota Bharu while being close to the town center. #malaysia

Ibis Styles Kota Bahru: Impressive!

#wecreate memories at Ibis Styles Kota Bahru! Standing tall along Jalan Sultanah Zainab, this hotel was a wonderful surprise! From the moment you walk into the lobby, you will feel transported to a chic environment where you come first! Although a 3⭐️ hotel, you really do feel like you are in a higher rated place! You can get everything in your room! Fridge, iron + ironing board, kettle, coffeemaker, great sized mugs, toothbrush, hairdryer, room slippers…everything! The tv channel and movie selections are up to date and there’s something for everyone! There is even a gadget sanitizer available! sTREATs Cafe offers breakfast at RM28/pax (but with the Accor Plus membership, you get a 50% discount). The food selection is GREAT! And it is a wonderful place for non-Asian tourists to get a foretaste of Kelantanese food 👍 There is a gym, a swimming pool, and a foosball table too! We were delighted by the presence of two gigantic vending machines that even had popcorn! Total cost was RM272 for 2 nights. The location was strategic and we would definitely stay again!
