MELAKA RIVER CRUISE
Melaka River is strewn with history dating back to the grandiose days of the influential and powerful empire of the 'Melaka Malay Sultanate' which led to merchant world-over to come to trade and commerce and which incredibly led Portuguese historian Tomes Pires to name the state as 'Venice Of The East'.
However, today Melaka River to large extent serves only as rich reminder of its glorious and bountiful past and of its present development. And what better way to find out than to take a river boat cruise in order to trace its history and check out the quaint and scenic beauty.

Old-world charm indulgence at Casa del Rio Melaka
#malaysiatrip
Casa del Rio Melaka is nestled by the Melaka river with glimpses of the Straits of Melaka… staying here is like staying in a haven of old-world charm and rich history.
This gorgeous and stylish boutique hotel celebrates Melaka's diverse cultural heritage, from Portuguese influences to early Arab traders and Straits Chinese touches, but at a first look it does also feel and look like a Spanish Hacienda….
I had the most comfortable stay at their Studio Lago/River King room which came with also a custom-built daybed that can transform into a cosy full bed in the evening if you have kids…..
It is also blissful just lazing at the expansive private balcony overlooking the historic Melaka River or soaking up the sun in the rooftop pool…
