Ride the elevator up to the glass-encased Skybridge for a sprawling view of the city below. Here’s the perfect spot to get down on one knee and pop the question.

For the exotic lover – Villa Samadhi

Inside, you’ll find Asian interiors fitted with refined salvaged-timber floors plus all the tech-amenities you’ll need and more – plush beds, over-sized plunge tubs and romantic balconies. Or propose over modern Malaysian cuisine at the Mandi Mandi restaurant or at the villa’s rooftop over sunset cocktails.
