    At a Glance

    Lean into the tranquillity of The Datai, one of the most luxurious resorts in Malaysia and your home for the next six nights. This hotel provides an idyllic natural retreat nestled in the depths of the rainforest, while also cushioned by the horseshoe bay with swathes of white sandy beach, giving you the very best of both to explore. The friendly welcoming staff are ready to offer you a decadent stay with sensational personalized service to accompany the standout facilities. Allowing you to do as much or as little as you wish during your stay here.

    For a deserving slice of relaxation, the Spa is beautifully integrated into the forest, overlooking a stream and is spectacular in its setting, design and range of indulgences. For those who can tear themselves away from the idyllic beach, there are a whole host of activities to keep you busy. Daily nature experiences can be arranged, including a fleet of boats for island hopping, fishing and sailing, to exploring the rainforest right outside your room door to cooking classes and golfing at The Els Club Teluk Datai.

    Throughout your stay you will indulge in sensational meals bursting with flavor, where the many tranquil bars and alfresco nooks dot the resort, creating the perfect cocoon to relax in this island paradise. Your time here will be nothing short of exceptional, but as your stay draws to a close the excitement will start to build for your final three days on board the nostalgic and lavishly appointed Eastern & Oriental Express, as you continue your journey through Malaysia.

    Once again you will board the Eastern & Oriental Express with much anticipation, ready for dinner and an evening in the Piano Bar Car.

    Next morning you will arrive in Penang Island. Here you will have a choice of exclusive excursions to join while you are here. The first is a discovery of the local Peranakan cooking, where you will visit a traditional spice shop and grocery stores to choose your ingredients, before creating enticing local dishes. For those with a passion for culture or art, this will be the experience for you, as you visit the Georgetown Old Quarter to see stunning temples, a contemporary studio and an opera and puppet house. Or you may choose to explore the area independently with the assistance of your private tri-shaw! Armed with a map and driver, you can explore Georgetown’s picturesque streets at your own pace.

    After an exceptional morning you will re-join the train at Butterworth for a delicious lunch and a relaxing afternoon on board watching the diverse scenery pass you by as you head to your final destination. In the meantime, you are invited to a final evening of celebrations where you will be spoiled with irresistible cuisine and entertainment. If you’re still up shortly after midnight, you’ll glimpse the bright lights of Kuala Lumpur as the train passes through.

    The following morning you will take breakfast in your cabin as you pass through Johor, as you relish in the striking beaches and rainforest views before the strait into Singapore where you will embark for your onward journey, brimming with the many magical memories made on this on this grand adventure through Malaysia.
