Surrounded by two 18-hole championship golf courses, The Club at The Saujana is positioned as the ultimate urban retreat for both business and leisure travellers which is located just a stone’s throw away from downtown Kuala Lumpur.

I made a last minute booking for a weekend of much needed self-pampering retreat and Jacque Soo, the wedding specialist from The Saujana was kind enough to accommodate my request and also advised me “Don’t bring your laptop ah.. just relax!”

Laptop I can’t live without but to relax, was all I did. The Club at The Saujana is a boutique resort with only 105 rooms, ranging from smartly appointed Club Rooms all the way up to the lavish Saujana Suites. GHM’s signature styles are evident in the interior and architecture of The Club which reflect contemporary South East Asian aesthetics. I felt totally at home with its copper, bronze and brown fittings.

My room was a cozy Superior Suite with teak wood furnishing. The room came with a separate dining and lounge area. The work station had a beautiful view of the garden but my favourite space is definitely the bathroom with its laminated flooring and dimmer lights, candles, rain shower cabin and terrazzo bathtub. Makes a romantic setting, don’t you think?

My job requires me to travel quite a fair bit which can be quite tiring compared to a desk job. Hence, my ideal holiday is to do nothing at all, with minimal travelling hassle and a getaway destination that does not require me to break my piggy bank reserves. The Club at The Saujana exudes that private, understated luxury with warm, personalised service from the moment I arrived right up to the time I checked out. After just one night, I felt totally rejuvenated. Best of all, it’s just 15 minutes away from my house yet I felt like I just came back from an island resort. If only everyday is a holiday!
