With the cityscape developing at lightning speed, buzzy, bustling Kuala Lumpur is a burgeoning riot of colour and character, not for the faint of heart.
But in this non-stop metropolis it doesn’t get more serene than jungle-fringed pavilion Villa Samadhi, whose grassy sanctuary complete with curvaceous lagoon pool can be found a short 5-minute zip from the CBD.
It’s hard to set a foot wrong with every room boasting gorgeous dark woods, modern furniture, butler service, snack stash, wine fridge, and comp. WiFi, but a splurge on the Loft space will get you an eaved roof nook with sun-kissed deck and plunge pool, while the lagoon-side Luxe Sarang villas feature oversized bathrooms, rainwater showers, kitchens, private gardens and Jacuzzis.
Come suppertime, opt for a cushioned poolside cabana at chef Thiti Thammanatr’s exquisite modern Asian diner Mandi-Mandi, then follow up with cocktails at rooftop perch Bumbung bar. With all this and more, Samadhi is an ideal pad for mooning and spooning, so ma and pa are well-advised (nay, kindly requested) to leave the sprogs at home. Sauce!
