Alternatively, you can also head to the Mayang Sari Beach Hut for alfresco dining, or sip on refreshing cocktails while lazing around on a colourful beanbag. Look out into the horizon and you might spot people parasailing or jetskiing!


2. Indra Maya Pool Villa

Perfect for: Couples

The Indra Maya Pool Villa comprise a total of only 14 villas – talk about exclusivity! Each villa has a private infinity pool that boasts picturesque views of the sea, making it the perfect getaway accommodation for couples. The sunbeds are ideal for lounging the afternoon away next to the pool!

Sink into the big comfy bed, and wake up to an inspiring view every morning. Couple that with the sound of lapping waves, and you’ve got yourself a little slice of heaven right here on Earth.

Villa hosts are also always available to attend to your every need – if you wish to whip up a storm in the kitchen, groceries can be delivered to your doorstep; or you can even have a poolside barbeque dinner prepared lovingly by your personal chef! In addition, you get your own private golf buggy, which makes exploring the surroundings of Nirwana Gardens so convenient.

In the evening, head to the Calypso Floating Bar for some refreshing cocktails! It is the perfect location to admire the sunset. With soothing jazz music playing in the background, and a cocktail in hand plus turquoise waters in all directions – you’ll never want to leave this peaceful spot at.

We highly recommend their signature Pineapple cocktail which has a unique nutty taste.

After the fiery sunset, adjourn to The Kelong Restaurant located right next to the Calypso Floating Bar for some fresh and juicy seafood! Savour signature dishes such as stir fried butter prawns, gong-gong (sea snails), black pepper crab and more – all while enjoying the balmy sea breeze. Don’t forget to leave behind a short message behind on their “Crab of Fame” wall – all messages are uniquely written on a crab shell!

3. Nirwana Resort Hotel

The Nirwana Resort Hotel is an idyllic haven for families and has literally everything you need for a fuss-free family holiday! Its family-friendly environment provides multiple options for both parents and children to enjoy themselves – we guarantee that you’ll never get bored.

It boasts a total of 245 guestrooms with breathtaking views of the sea, pool, or the garden. 

The huge infinity pool right by the beach is just the thing you need for a fun-filled afternoon! Grab the whole family and head there for a splashing good time. Indulge in a soothing jacuzzi massage or lounge around on the deck chairs. With a stunning sea view right in front of your eyes, you’ll find it hard to tear yourself away from this inviting pool!

Parents will be overjoyed to know that the NABLEZ Kids’ Club offers half-day and full-day activities! What a perfect opportunity to leave your children in safe hands while you head for a relaxing massage session. With activities such as face painting, fish feeding, mask making and more, your children will be too preoccupied having fun to even notice your absence. Parents, you can even opt to have your massage on the beach – with the sound of crashing waves and the cooling sea breeze!

If your kids love animals, they’ll be delighted to know that there’s a Mini Zoo within Nirwana Gardens! It houses different species of exotic birds, white crocodiles, soft-shelled turtles, pythons, and more. The whole family can also go for an elephant ride at the Jumbo Elephant Park.

With the beach just steps away from the infinity pool, it’s just so convenient! While away the afternoon on the lounge chairs or hammocks that line the soft sandy beach. Don’t miss out on the chance to take a picture with the iconic coconut tree – it has grown over the years in a somewhat parallel fashion, tempting travellers to climb up its gravelly trunk… if they dare!

In addition, there’s never a dull moment when you stay at Nirwana. The Activities’ Desk offers a wide variety of exhilarating activities such as Ninebot Tours, All-Terrain-Vehicle riding, Batik Painting, Bungee Trampoline and many more! There’s even a giant chess set for you to challenge each other, and a monitor lizard enclosure for you to get up close and personal with these unique creatures.

Our favourite activity was going on the Ninebot tour, which took us around the resort grounds. For those who don’t know what a Ninebot is, it’s actually a nifty upgraded version of the Segway which allows you to zip around with ease. The device reads your body movement, and turns with a slight shift of your body weight. It’s a lot easier to use than it looks! And don’t worry, it’s perfectly safe as well. For added safety, all Ninebot users are equipped with a helmet and knee/elbow pads, as well as an adept guide who will be with you every step of the way.

There’s so much to do at Nirwana Resort Hotel, we just wish we had more time!
