Pure Luxury

“Call me spoiled - but I love to be treated like a queen when traveling. Only the best is good enough for me. Hotels that make my vacation a dream of luxury and seduction are my choices. Pay attention to the (violet Medal) for luxury accommodation.”

Sustainable Travel

“There is only one earth and we should go out and see it. I like hotels, which look for sustainability. It is not only protecting the ecology, but also taking care for the local business and culture. I recommend the medal for eco accomodation. Let’s protect our earth. Sustainable travel is travelling with responsibility.”

Woodcraft, four recreational pools and waterfall areas give Labis a range of travel highlights. Kayu Warisan and the Pusat Kraf & Industri Kecil Sederhana (IKS) represent cultural attractions in Labis; Kolam Air Panas and nature destinations add to the surrounding area. If you are considering Labis as a possible place to stay, you can distinguish between attractions in town and destinations outside it, and plan your travel separately.

Woodcraft and Products from Labis

Kayu Warisan Labis showcases traditional woodcraft, including rustic furniture and detailed carvings. The Pusat Kraf & Industri Kecil Sederhana (IKS) in Labis is a collection point for products from craft and SME businesses in Labis, including driftwood crafts. The two cultural attractions offer different highlights: Kayu Warisan focuses on traditional woodworking, while the IKS brings together a wider range of products. If you plan to visit the IKS, confirm public access and operating details in advance.

Pools and Waterfall Areas

Kolam Air Panas is located about 14 kilometres from Labis and has four pools where visitors can relax. The local council describes it as the only hot-water pool in the state of Johor. Its distance makes the pool a separate destination in the surrounding area, rather than an attraction in the town centre. When choosing where to stay, it is therefore useful to distinguish between cultural attractions in Labis and this water destination.

Takah Merluh Recreational Forest is about 17 kilometres by road from Labis. Its waterfall is stepped, with a fairly high bank. Activities mentioned at the recreational forest include spotting wildlife and enjoying the natural surroundings. Check current conditions before visiting. Unlike Kolam Air Panas, Takah Merluh focuses not on pools but on the waterfall’s formation and activities in the forest.

The area around the Sungai Bantang Waterfall is in the Hutan Simpan Labis; the recreational forest there was established in 1989 and quickly developed in 1990. This gives it a different emphasis from Takah Merluh when choosing nature destinations: here, the forest reserve and its development history complement the waterfall.

Bus Connections and Choosing Where to Stay

Yow Hoe Bus Company operates a daily bus service from Labis to Segamat and another from Segamat to Yong Peng. Keep the two sections of the route separate in your plans and check the schedule before travelling. Cepat Ekspres, Transnasional and SE Ekspres are also listed as bus operators in Labis; check these details before your journey as well.

When choosing where to stay, the town’s location and the range of nearby excursions are two separate considerations: Kayu Warisan and the IKS are in Labis; Kolam Air Panas is about 14 kilometres from Labis, while Takah Merluh is around 17 kilometres away by road. When searching for a hotel in Labis, you can first decide whether cultural attractions in town or water and forest destinations in the surrounding area are more important to you.
