Malacca (Oct 6–8) + KL (Oct 8–11) — new plan
4 adults · Malacca central: Jonker St + Mahkota Parade/Dataran Pahlawan mall precinct · KL: walk-to-Mid-Valley zone (unchanged) · researched 10 Sep 2026 · every listing carries its booking link
Plan change impact: KL leg shortens 5→3 nights (Oct 8–11). Malacca is perfectly placed en route from Muar — about 2h drive. Central Malacca = two shopping hubs side by side: Mahkota Parade + Dataran Pahlawan Megamall (they face each other) and Jonker Street heritage/night market, 1km apart on foot.

⚖️ Recommended split
- Malacca: Hotel Puri RM 960 (heritage, Jonker 450m, free cancel, breakfast) — or Airbnb Ong Kim Wee RM 380 if you prefer an apartment. If mall-adjacent matters most: Hatten RM 1,194, inside the Mahkota Parade/Dataran Pahlawan precinct.
- KL: Artisan Home 3BR RM 1,134 for 3 nights — same 629m-to-Megamall walk position as before, cheaper on the shorter window. ViiA/KLEC options if you want the covered link-bridge comfort.
- Combined floor: Malacca RM 380 + KL RM 1,134 = RM 1,514 total for both cities (Airbnb path), or hotels ≈ RM 2,154+ (Puri + KL hotel).
- Note: rental car covers Malacca→KL transfer (~2h) — no extra transport cost. The old 5-night KL quotes (RM 1,220 Ample 2BR etc.) no longer apply; Ample 2BR didn't appear in the Oct 8–11 search window.
- Pay with PRVI Miles Amex in MYR (3 mpd). All prices move intraday — re-check before booking.
