Other places that are nearer to home that you could consider is a getaway at the newly opened ultra-luxurious resort One&Only Desaru Coast in Malaysia. A two-hour drive from Singapore, the resort is spread across 128 acres of prime beachfront property. The all-suites resort comprises an intimate collection of just 42 junior suites, two expansive two-bedroom grand suites and the exclusive four-bedroom known as Villa One. At the resort, guests can partake in a curated range of active and mindful pursuits to reconnect with nature, like the Call of the Gibbons expedition to hear the morning chatter of the White-Handed Gibbons in the nearby Panti Forest Reserve. No getaway will be complete without a gastronomic extravaganza. A variety of restaurants and bars at the resort showcases the seasonal bounty of the region’s land and sea. This includes the Mediterranean Ambara restaurant, incorporating fresh produce from local farmers and the Chef’s Garden, and open-air Dusky Monkey bar, serving straits-in- spired bites with tailor made cocktails and artisanal spirits from the region. If you wish to bring your parents for a break, or just give the kids occupied while you unwind, the resort also boasts activities for every age and interest, from state-of-the-art tennis and padel courts, intimate lessons into the traditional Malaysian martial art of Silat Melayu and fun and educational programmes at KidsOnly, where your young ones can learn about the local ecosystem at the EcoLab.
