Assalamu alaikum and welcome to beautiful Kelantan! If you are staying with us at Hotel Ma’Wa and looking for a peaceful, family-friendly retreat close to nature, Taman Perbandaran Tengku Anis is a must-visit destination. Located in the heart of Kota Bharu, Kelantan, this beautifully landscaped municipal park offers a serene escape from the bustling city streets. Named after the former Raja Perempuan of Kelantan, the park is highly regarded for its clean, tranquil environment, making it one of the most relaxing things to do near Hotel Ma’Wa for families, couples, and solo travelers alike.
A Green Sanctuary for the Whole Family
Taman Perbandaran Tengku Anis is designed with family recreation in mind. As you stroll through the park, you will be greeted by lush tropical trees, vibrant flower beds, and a beautifully manicured herbal garden. One of the highlight attractions, especially for children, is the deer park (laman rusa), where you can observe gentle deer roaming in a spacious enclosure.
The park also features a well-equipped children’s playground, wide paved jogging tracks, and scenic reflexology paths. For those who appreciate local heritage, the park is dotted with traditional Kelantanese wooden pavilions, known as wakaf. These shaded structures are perfect for sitting back, enjoying the fresh breeze, and spending quality time with your loved ones in a respectful, wholesome environment.
Tips for a Comfortable and Halal-Friendly Visit
To make the most of your visit to this beautiful public park, we recommend planning your trip during the cooler parts of the day—either early in the morning between 7:00 AM and 9:00 AM, or in the late afternoon from 5:00 PM onwards. This allows you to enjoy the outdoor activities comfortably without the midday heat.
Because Kelantan values modest living, wearing comfortable, loose-fitting modest sportswear is highly recommended and aligns perfectly with the local culture. For food and refreshments, you will find plenty of local Muslim-owned vendors outside the park selling fresh coconut water, sugarcane juice, and traditional Kelantanese snacks like pisang goreng (banana fritters) and keropok lekor. While there are public restrooms and seating areas, the park’s close proximity to your accommodation means you can easily head back to the hotel to perform your prayers in complete comfort.
After a refreshing morning or evening surrounded by nature, there is nothing better than returning to a cozy and welcoming environment. Hotel Ma’Wa stands out as a premier Muslim-friendly hotel Kota Bharu, dedicated to providing a comfortable, halal-friendly stay for all our guests. With family-focused amenities, prayer-friendly facilities, and a warm, alcohol-free atmosphere, we ensure your trip to Kelantan is both spiritually uplifting and thoroughly relaxing. Book your stay with us today and let us be your peaceful home away from home!
