The Kasturi showcases the beauty of Malaysia’s east coast. Children will be delighted to see a family of otters enjoying the sun by the river during low tide. Marvel at the sight of sea eagles flying over the horizon.

Guests with a keen design sensibility will be impressed with the property’s origami-inspired A-frame villas, many of which offer beachfront views and come with their own private pools. The bedrooms were designed in soothing earth tones, inspired by the lush environment of the countryside and its local culture. Each villa also provides easy access to the beach, giving guests the opportunity to watch the beautiful sun rise in the early hours of the morning.

The Kenyang Restaurant offers a number of delectable cuisines, from Malaysia to fusion, all of which are carefully prepared by their talented staff.
