Guests on the Malaysian paradise isle can choose to stay in a hillside villa in the jungle or a luxury stilted hut over the sea

 

Romantic encounters

7 FEBRUARY 2006
Hole up in your own villa or suite either on the hillside or on stilts over the sea. Each is decorated in traditional Asian style and comes with an oversized tub and secret courtyard. If you really want to push the boat out, book the Pavarotti Suite (the maestro loves the hotel) and let the tenor’s operatic strains drift out over the tropical breezes from your music centre as you float in the pool. “I almost cried when I saw how beautiful God has made this paradise,” Pavarotti said when he sang at the hotel opening in 1994.

The award-winning spa draws on four cultures – Malay, Thai, Chinese and Indian – and there are seven restaurants to choose from. For something really special, enjoy a dinner for two on the rocks or in your own teak boat. Who knows? It could be the icing on the (wedding) cake…
