Just a short 5-minute ride via the KTM shuttle, travelling to Johor Bahru might not always feel like a proper getaway. But here’s a spot that’ll make you feel like you’re on a legit holiday – no plane ticket required.
Dooga Ins-Boeing 777X is an airplane-themed Airbnb in JB that lets you experience the luxury of first-class living. Even though it’s only a short hop across the border, you’ll feel like you’re jetting off to a faraway destination.
This unique Airbnb is tucked away in Danga Bay, a beachfront spot just 10 minutes from the checkpoint. That means you’re still close enough to hit up malls like City Square and Mid Valley Southkey for some retail therapy before heading back to your cosy stay. And if you’re up for more adventure, Legoland Malaysia is just a 15-minute drive away.
One of the best perks of this stay is the stunning sea views right from the balcony, complemented by an outdoor dining area. It’s the perfect spot to sit back, relax, and pretend you’re on a beach holiday.
We’re not kidding when we say this Airbnb takes the airplane theme seriously, right down to the tiniest details. There are 2 first-class suites that can fit up to 6 guests, so you can bring the whole crew along for the ride.
Step inside and you’ll feel like you’re actually on a flight. The walls have carved-out airplane-style windows, but unlike a real plane, you’ll get sea views instead of just clouds.
The bedding is classic first-class style, with white sheets and an accent throw for that luxe touch. Even the bedside tables have been replaced with galley trolleys, just like the ones used for serving in-flight meals. To complete the illusion, there are lavatory signs for the toilet and exit signs above the doors.
The entryway is decked out with flight info boards, just like the ones you would see at the airport. The kitchenette keeps things simple and functional, so you can prep light meals or make yourself a cup of coffee before “takeoff.”
The living room ditches regular couches for airplane seats, making you feel like you’re in an actual cabin. But don’t worry about limited legroom – you can recline these seats and there’s no Karen behind you to complain if you lean all the way back.
Fun fact: the brains behind this Airbnb in JB are architects and interior designers, so it’s no wonder that the place is packed with IG-worthy spots and clever little details that make the experience feel extra real.
Make your next trip to JB unforgettable by staying at Dooga Ins-Boeing 777X. It costs less than $80* a night, excluding the cleaning and Airbnb service fees. But when you split the cost between 6 people, it’s a bargain for the first-class experience.
*May vary depending on the dates you choose.
