Outside of planned activities, there is time to explore neighbourhoods, try local food and enjoy evenings at your own pace. The hotel’s rooftop bar hosts a daily cocktail reception, which works well as a relaxed way to finish the day without needing to head far.

Pangkor Laut

After your time in the city, continue on to Pangkor Laut, a private island resort just off Malaysia’s west coast. You will spend seven nights here, staying in a Hill Villa surrounded by forest, with beaches and walking trails spread across the island.
