a serene, luxe little hideaway called Villa Samadhi. Plenty of hip hotels seek to put their patrons in the metropolis’s glittering, garish nerve center.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Tucked into the quiet embassy enclave of Taman U Thant, leafy residential streets sit ten minutes from the city center.
The rooms
Suites feature private plunge pools and deep soaking tubs, while ground-floor Luxe Sarang quarters step directly into the swimming lagoon.
The lagoon pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Timber cabana daybeds float above the freeform courtyard lagoon, lit by woven pendant lanterns at dusk.
The spa
Deep-tissue and aromatherapy bodywork takes place in a dedicated treatment room beneath high exposed timber ceilings.
Restaurant
The Dining Room
Southeast Asian dishes are served poolside beneath an oversized wire chandelier looking out over the water.
At the table
Under a high thatched timber roof, the open-air lounge bar serves evening cocktails and sundowners.
