Pool, Villa Samadhi, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Villa Samadhi

City
Kuala Lumpur and Cameron Highlands, Malaysia

Villa Samadhi is a former Thai house and a unique residence located just 10 minutes from the centre of Kuala Lumpur. The 21 rooms including 10 suites surround the central lagoon pool which is in turn hidden within walls and dotted with palms and tall grasses creating a calm atmosphere and plenty of private spots to relax.

The rooms are elegantly decorated, and many have their own plunge pool.

Why we like Villa Samadhi

One of Kuala Lumpur’s best kept secrets. We love the relaxed feel but with excellent service and the fact that the ground floor rooms are located alongside the Lagoon Pool with direct access into the water.

Facilities

Small rooftop spa
Lagoon style swimming pool

Steppes helped me recover my lost camera from Kuala Lumpur airport. Fantastic service involving lots of extra work on my behalf, not only collecting it but returning it to my home address.

Malaysia

It really helped that Clare and Amy had personal experience of where they were sending me and could describe the experiences and answer a ton of questions. You guys are fantastic.

Malaysia

Clare was brilliant when I was organising my holiday and understood my brief from the word go. Some of my trip was as a lone traveller and she made sure I was well looked after the whole time - every part of my itinerary worked perfectly and was very well organised. All of the guides were excellent with wonderful local knowledge and lots of ideas to keep the itinerary interesting and flexible.
