You could say that the Majestic Kuala Lumpur is the grand old dame of Malaysia's capital; it was built in 1932 as a 51-room hotel and have witnessed many important milestones in this Southeast Asian country's history. After being restored from its 28 year closure, The Majestic Kuala Lumpur is now better than ever; with the construction of the very modern Tower Wing and a stunning facelift of the old Majestic Wing. It definitely gives you an insight of what this city has to offer: a beautiful mix of the old and the new.

Call me the details guy, but for me, it is always the small things that makes an escape extra special; a personalized hand-written letter, a welcome gift or a little something that makes you feel at home the moment you see it. I guess luck was on my side during my work slash business trip to Gaya Island Resort because I got all three.

Gaya Island is located a few kilometers west of Kota Kinabalu in Malaysia's state of Sabah and a two-hour plane ride from the country's capital, Kuala Lumpur. Its amazing how a two-hour plane ride can change the scenery; from the very modern buildings of Kuala Lumpur to the gradient blue waters of Gaya Island. This is one of the reasons why I keep coming back to Malaysia.

I have a little confession, I was never an adventurous kind of person- I don't really keep track of how many times I asked myself why I'm a little hesitant when it comes to trying out new things (and I tell you, I've asked myself HUNDREDS of times already). Probably I have a fear of the unknown? or maybe I'm just a little obsessive/compulsive in that way. But it happens not so often that I don't think about my actions and sign-up for something that I end up enjoying: and that's exactly what happened during my recent trip to Gaya Island Resort.

As a kid, I never liked the beach (I know, who could
actually hate the beach?!), but yeah I did. Maybe because I was spending so much time in the
city that I wasn’t really used to living that kind of life. But recently all of
that has changed- I was sitting in a beach chair at the Gaya Island Resort
beach, sunglasses on, a cold beverage in-hand and looking at the horizon. I
asked myself: “How can I seriously hate all of these?!”

Of course, like any other resort, Gaya Island Resort is no exemption in putting this notorious "don't disturb" room sign (I mean everyone wants privacy and cleanliness, right?). But what sets them apart from the others is this super awesome wood block with one side that resembles a girl doing the "hush!" hand gesture while the other one is a simple broom carving.
I adore these kinds of details; very unique yet not screaming with attention. Just the right amount of it

Its crazy how a simple five to eight minute boat ride can take you somewhere "out of this world" kind of silent and serene. You might think its impossible (I did too!) till I experienced it exactly two weeks ago in Gaya Island Resort in Malaysia.
