Bottom Line
The 21-room Villa Samadhi - A Samadhi Retreats Property is an upscale, romantic retreat within a short drive of the bustling city. Serene, villa-like rooms have luxurious features such as scenic whirlpool tubs and pool-view furnished balconies. This property is a popular destination not only for visiting newlyweds, but for local honeymooners as well. Couples come to enjoy the romantic, Malaysian-inspired atmosphere at the peaceful restaurant and the tranquility of the lagoon-like pool, surrounded by greenery and natural shade. It's not a good pick for most families, though, as rooms aren’t designed for children under 12 years of age, and some guests have had issues with mosquitoes. For a more family-friendly option, travelers could consider the PARKROYAL Serviced Suites Kuala Lumpur.

Scene
Upscale, romantic retreat with relaxing atmosphere in beautiful surroundings
Behind its bamboo gate, guests of Villa Samadhi will find a lush property with tropical plants, thatched-roof buildings, and bubbling fountains. The lobby is a peaceful, minimal space with sleek wood floors and pretty plants. Romantic features abound, including the softly lit rooms, some with direct access to the lagoon pool via wooden ladders off their patios. Poolside cabanas are available for relaxing and taking in the peaceful setting. Candlelit dining is offered at the restaurant on-site, while drinks are served in a bar overlooking the pool. For a special, romantic dinner, guests can dine under lantern lighting on a small island in the center of the pool. This retreat is a natural fit for newlyweds; families should note that rooms are not designed for children under 12 years of age.

Quiet location near embassies and a short drive to the Petronas Twin Towers

It’s less than a 10-minute drive to the Petronas Twin Towers, and a free shuttle is available, though many guests remain on-site throughout their trip to enjoy the pool and romantic dining. The towers are in Kuala Lumpur City Center which also offers shopping complexes, a mosque, an aquarium, and a park.

Rooms
Villa-like rooms with low lighting, scenic whirlpool tubs, and Malaysian decor

Walk-in showers and whirlpool tubs with a view emphasize the luxury of the units.
