Located approximately two to three hours from Kuala Lumpur, this underrated paradise promises crystal clear waters and gorgeous over-water villas oozing serious Maldives vibes.

Here’s also where you can indulge in a luxurious private island experience near Singapore at a fraction of the price from what you’d usually pay for a trip to the Maldives.

Choose from different types of stays from the Garden Villa (S$326) or Hill Villa (S$370) to the over-water Sea Villa (S$576) or Spa Villa (S$649). Regardless of which stay you choose, all villas come with intoxicating views of the ancient rainforest, or the clear turquoise waters.

Once here, check into your luxurious villa (complete with a beautiful tub) decked out in classic wood and oriental furnishings before spending your days on the private beach or enjoying scrumptious meals at the resort’s restaurants. (If you’d like you can also opt for a romantic dinner on the beach with your toes in the sand!)
