With our fast-paced city life, we Singaporeans are always chiong-ing our way around. Though having drive and being productive is great, we could all use a little break sometimes. And nothing is more relaxing than simply lounging around – in somewhere other than your own home. Preferably with a pool. Better yet, a private one.

Undeniably, such a fancy shmancy indulgence is typically expensive, especially when it comes to staycays. But for a short getaway close to home, check out these relatively affordable hotels and villas in Malaysia, where you can lounge around in a private pool literally right next to – or even in – your room.

1. Grand Lexis Port Dickson

The beauty of having a pool all to yourself is being able to take a dip whenever you want – even during the wee hours of the night. And you’ll never have to rush to chope a lounge chair!
