KL is awash with fine hotels and Villa Samadhi sits well within this mix.

A small and intensely private property that offers a strong alternative to the larger branded city hotels. Each ‘crib’ and ‘sarang’ is unique in size and character, and the teak walls and floors provide a distinctly Malaysian flavour. The top floor Loft is particularly special, with its own plunge pool and views towards the Petronas Towers.

The property’s intimate restaurant offers a menu of Malay and Italian dishes; the breakfast is well worth getting up for! When you’re not sightseeing and shopping, you can while away hours simply lazing in a cabana beside the lagoon-style pool. Come sunset, head to the rooftop bar and enjoy views over the city.

In a quiet, upmarket part of town, close to the Royal Selangor Golf Club and a host of embassies. There aren’t any nightclubs or noisy bars nearby, but the city’s nightlife is just 15 minutes away.
  • Over-12s only.
  • Central pool, known as “the lagoon”.
  • Hour-long included cocktails.
  • Complimentary transport to restaurants.

Why we love it

“Villa Samadhi lived up to its hype. It was a lovely place to arrive at. In hindsight, we might have had an extra day there to enjoy the pool area a bit more.”

A city oasis

Exterior of Villa Samadhi

The dedicated staff take customer satisfaction seriously. The result is an exceptional experience. It’s quite unusual in the scheme of city hotels, as it almost feels like arriving in somebody’s private, albeit tropical, city home. The high surrounding walls and foliage add to the exclusive feel. It’s an oasis in a city that can be noisy, congested and tiring; a place to relax and gather your thoughts. Adding a few days here, to stretch your city stay and get over any latent jet lag, is just the ticket.

What can you do there?

Pool with day beds at Villa Samadhi

The best way to enjoy Villa Samadhi is to find a nice spot by the pool and relax. Honestly, it isn’t hard work, but when you get restless you might go for a massage at the spa. Part of a small collection of high-end hotels and restaurants in Malaysia and Singapore, the Villa Samadhi has been hosting Selective Asia guests since it opened and is a firm favourite in the office and among our clients.

Highly Recommend Selective Asia

Have been to Asia with Selective Asia twice now, and we can't fault them. We had the most amazing holiday staying in 6 different locations throughout Thailand. Selective Asia did us proud by giving us a well thought out itinerary. The accommodations were first class. Our private guide called James was very knowledgable and made our holiday very memorable.

Personalised and spot on journey

Personalised service all the way up to departure and then throughout via on the ground help and advice in country as well. Ideal.

Another fantastic trip with Selective Asia

We’ve been on 5 trips to the Far East with Selective Asia over 17 years with the same consultant (Lionel). They take the time to tailor the holiday individually with invaluable local knowledge and once again got it spot on. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

Rob Clarkson, Vietnam

Our trip to Japan was outstanding

We had had several discussions with Andrew, our agent, before booking the trip and he incorporated all the activities we were interested in plus recommending other activities that he knew we would be interested in. Much of our trip was self guided and SA provide an excellent app to help with this. It was intuitive, easy to use and had the option to be able to contact someone locally if necessary. The whole trip was seamless and managed at a thoroughly professional yet friendly level. I would travel with this company again (we have travelled with them before.)

Heather, Japan

Fantastic holiday

Using Selective Asia took all the stress out of booking and organising the trip ourselves as we were travelling around the country. Selective Asia were really responsive to our needs and created our perfect honeymoon holiday. They were available whenever we had questions or needed some help. I would highly recommend using their service!

Alice, Sri Lanka

Great planning and organisation, coupled with an amazing experience with the local guide and driver. Everything about the holiday was magical.
