Shangri-La's Rasa Sayang Resort & Spa, Penang, Malaysia

Malaysia's Shangri-La's Rasa Sayang Resort & Spa offers guests the chance to truly pamper themselves and relax, with the most luxuriously appointed spa in Penang (with 11 private spa villas), as well as being situated between the tropical rainforest and lucious beach for a perfectly placed luxurious holiday.

You are less than an hour from the airport (it's ideal to have a short transfer time when travelling with kids in tropical destinations) and just 20-mins from a George Town, a lively town of culture and art designated a World Heritage Site to which a free shuttle bus is available from the resort.

The resort has a collection of pools (including a kids pool) and many sports on offer (some as a group and can get competative!) as well as jungle walks, Tai Chi sessions and yoga taken in a specialised pavillion with a qualified instructor. Children aged 5-12 years can join the kids club where activities are available through the week for no extra charge, whilst the lively Adventure Zone (where the kids club is located) is an indoor play area where parents and kids will have a ball!

You can choose to stay in the Garden Wing or Rasa Wing, the latter being an exculsive area where even more luxury is included in your stay including some rooms with bathtub on the balcony (perfect to relax under the stars), daily high tea service and evening aperatif.
