You and family might enjoy quality time more as you can splish and splash to your heart’s content in the privacy of your accommodations. Here are some lodging options around Malaysia for that private pool experience.

You’ll be able to enjoy the sun, sea and surf, as well as explore the treasures of the forest. The pools vary in size depending on the villa you choose to stay in, ranging from 19.5sq metres to 34sq metres ─ certainly enough for a private dip while admiring the sunset.

Villa Mutiara ─ the biggest among the villas with three bedrooms, spans a whopping 6996sq ft. and has not one, but two private pools to splash in.
