BAZAAR’s City Escape Pick: The Kasturi, Cherating

Are you craving for a mid-year holiday, but undecided on soaking up on Vitamin-Sea at a beach getaway or escaping the city life in a serene rainforest resort? The Kasturi encapsulates the reality of being embraced by land and sea, with the resort strategically built on an 800-metre beach stretch seconds away from forested dunes. Located just a 3-hour drive away from the hustle and bustle of Kuala Lumpur, this 5-star resort founded by one of Malaysia’s highly respected architects, Hijjas Kasturi, stands tall and proud among world-renowned names in the hospitality industry.

The resort houses a total of 23 keys to accommodate everything from a honeymoon retreat in the one bedroom villa, to a family vacation in a double-storey beachfront villa. The line of individual chalets overlook 800 meters of the East Coast beach and another kilometer of sand towards the north, reaching the estuary of Sungai Pak Siak on the South China Sea. Wake up to the sound of waves crashing on the beach shores, or head through the front door to be welcomed by birds chirping through the dense forest. The main building houses the reception area, main swimming pool, a lounge deck, the bar, around-the-clock fitness facilities and meeting spaces for guests to enjoy freely. Six studio rooms and suites can be found on the main grounds for those who prefer to remain closer to the public facilities, which include the Kenyang Restaurant and the Kelip-Kelip Gift Shop.
