The Malaysian Urban Retreat Festival (MURFEST) is the country’s most extensive wellness, music, and dance event. MURFEST was founded in 2014 to become Malaysia’s Premier Wellness, Music, Dance, Healing, Fitness, and Personal Growth Festival.

MURFEST has carefully selected highly qualified fitness facilitators from around the world, as well as an active Tribe eager to grow and learn, dance to ecstatic beats, attend transformational workshops, and be a part of this one-of-a-kind wellness and lifestyle experience.
 
Finding balance is essential in an era of heightened stress, burnout, and digital overload. With a work hard, play hard culture instilled in us, MURFEST aspires to invite Malaysians to have fun while emphasising wellness and fitness.
