🧒

Malaysia's only MICHELIN Two Keys hotel, set on a quiet Tanjung Rhu beach facing limestone islets. Low-slung Malay-style pavilions, a huge pool and a very gentle pace make it a proper switch-off. Sunset kayaks and mangrove trips start right from the beach.

Don't miss: Sunset on the beach, then dinner overlooking the islets
