The Wave Packing List

Packing means that you are one step closer to arriving at The Wave and we will certainly be looking forward to meeting you.

Our packing advice is to pack enough clothes and toiletries for an extended-stay holiday, with plenty of light and washable clothes. Our wonderful housekeeping team will take great care of your laundry. It is best to bring clothes that are easy to wash and wear.

One of the reasons that we made the choice to create The Wave in Malaysia was the wonderful year round sunshine and tropical showers. Malaysia is very warm and humid. Bring clothes for exploring, clothes for relaxing, lounge wear and a couple of outfits for presentations, debates, our celebration nights, volunteer opportunities or teaching assignments.
