No basic JB accommodations here: we came across a private game-themed villa staycation in JB, featuring a dedicated basement “gaming den” that’s geared towards retro gaming enthusiasts.

The Luxurious 23 @ Gametopia Villa is a private property that’s open for rent in JB, with a massive space that can accommodate up to 20 guests. One of the highlights of this staycation experience is their “immersive game room” that’s got vibey neon lighting and gaming-inspired decor. This gaming room is also fitted with an extensive selection of games: retro arcade game machines, racing simulators, air hockey table, foosball table, basketball and more.

There’s even a projector and PS5 here, so you can play console games or also watch your favourite movies in a cosy setting. The villa also offers entertainment at other parts of the house, including a billiards table that overlooks an outdoor pool, KTV set up in the living room, and a BBQ pit too.
