There's no need to travel all the way to Paris or St Tropez to recreate scenes from Season Two of the beloved Netflix series

For the hit Netflix series fans in Malaysia who are unable to travel to Europe, we have curated a list of places and activities in and around the country to recreate the best scenes from Season Two of Emily in Paris. (Disclaimer: Romances with charismatic chefs, investment bankers and musicians are not guaranteed.)

Whether it's climbing aboard a luxury yacht or experiencing a traditional hammam spa for the first time, you can follow in the footsteps Emily and her friends while patiently waiting for the next two seasons to premiere.

Pop a bottle of champagne as you set off from the Royal Langkawi Yacht Club and explore the beautiful island archipelago along northwestern coasts of Malaysia in a chartered yacht. It may not sound as catchy as the "gay spray of St Tropez" but you are in for incredible views and a fabulous time, especially with Manta Blu Cruises, which allows you to plan and personalise your trip down to your exact desires.

2. Party City

From real-life mermaids and lion dances to burlesque-inspired shows, the live performances at Suzie Wong will bring the same level of glamour and pizzazz as Mindy's energetic cover of BTS's Dynamite during her short stint as La Dame Pipi. And as a bonus, this hidden gem in the heart of Kuala Lumpur also serves up a mean gin cocktail, among many other delectable drinks, which go perfectly with the authentic Chinese dishes on their menu.

You don't have to go all the way to St Tropez for a beach bar like Laurent G's. Find the same chill vibes and stunning views of the coast at Ember Beach Club at One&Only Desaru Coast. And if you're going to recreate scenes from the show, we hope you choose the ones where Sylvie emerges from the water in a black bikini and dances the night away with her handsome ex-husband.

Ember Beach Club | One&Only Desaru Coast, Persiaran Damai, Desaru Coast Bandar Penawar, 90, 81930, Johor | +607-878 3400 |Sunday - Thursday, 9am - 7.30pm; Friday - Saturday, 9am - 10.30pm

Head to RexKL, the hottest arts and culture hub in the city, for live performances by talented local musicians. Singing their hearts out to covers as well as their original material (much like the show's new theme song by Ashley Park, Mon Soleil), the artistes at RexKL bring the same dedication and passion as Mindy, Benoît and Étienne in this season of Emily in Paris.

This open space also hosts a slew of exciting F&B establishments, art galleries, educational workshops and much more.

Forget mimosas at brunch! Take a leaf from Camille's book and treat your girlfriends to a unique and luxurious hammam experience. Like on the show, you can chat (or lie!) about love and life as you are surrounded by beautiful decor and bathed by a trained tellak with traditional kese mitt and Moroccan black soap.

Hammam Spas | Level 4G, Publika Shopping Gallery Mont Kiara, Kuala Lumpur | +603-62010881 | Monday - Sunday, 10am - 10.30pm
