In more detail

Built to honour its wild surrounds, rooms are appropriately dressed in gorgeous dark wood and feature private balconies that overlook the rainforest and sea. The complimentary soft drinks, soaking tubs and Egyptian cotton lines are nice added touches. Reached by raised walkways, there’s also a full range of stilted villas – many of which come with their very own private pools and direct beach access.

The dining options, too, make the most of their privileged setting. The Gulai House serves up authentic Malaysian specialities deep in the rainforest, the Pavilion offers the chance to indulge with Thai favourites at canopy level, and the beach bar presents hand-tossed pizzas and the catch of the day by the white sands. Inspired? Book onto a cooking class before capping the evening off with a single malt or mixologist cocktail at the jazz lounge bar.

For further relaxation, book onto a treatment in the spa and join a yoga or Pilates class. Or, simply sun yourself by the pool and on that long, curving beach. Then, get active with the health club’s state-of-the-art equipment and steam room before availing yourself of one of the many complimentary activities on offer. Perhaps make use of the kayaks and snorkelling gear to explore the pristine waters or return to dry land for a bike ride and biologist-led hike. Expect to spot everything from geckos to the dusky langur monkey, showcased in a reference library-cum-tearoom that’s hosted by the resident naturalist. Alternatively, there are even tennis courts and a superb golf course nearby.
