About her: Christine Koh is an entrepreneur and founder of The Coco Journey, a luxury farmstay concept located in Malacca, Malaysia.

What started as a simple idea eventually evolved into a unique hospitality business surrounded by coconut trees, greenery, and tranquil landscapes. Christine believes hospitality is not just about accommodation, but about creating memorable and restorative experiences for guests.

Turning point: A major turning point came when Christine recognised the increasing demand for slower, nature-focused travel experiences after years of fast-paced urban living. Inspired by the calming environment of the coconut plantation, she decided to transform the land into a luxury farmstay concept that combined comfort, relaxation, and nature immersion.

She continues developing the farmstay concept while focusing on hospitality excellence, guest experience, and sustainable tourism. Through her work, she hopes to encourage people to slow down, reconnect with nature, and appreciate simpler lifestyles away from city life.
