- Country/State Malaysia
- Region Indian Ocean & Africa
The island's population is limited to guests and staff, because the resort and the private luxury estates are the only habitation on this island. Virtually the whole of this 300-acre island is covered in virgin rainforest estimated to be more than two million years old, with magnificent sweeping bays of fine sand along its perimeters. The island is large enough to sustain an abundance of wildlife, yet small enough to have escaped man's exploitation. Nature lovers will encounter a variety of species of colourful birds and plants, including native orchids, yellow pied hornbills, white-breasted sea eagles, crab-eating macaque monkeys and tropical iguanas.

Each Estate is designed in different Southeast Asian and traditional Malayan styles with diverse bedrooms, spacious living areas, pools, jacuzzis and large terraces. Tell us what you prefer.
