Apartment

Fifty-five square metres on one level: a bedroom, a bathroom, air conditioning and a kitchen equipped well enough to cook properly rather than reheat. Two guests as standard, with an extra bed for a third. There are five of these at Rahya.

It is the unit that suits a couple who would rather spend the budget on the length of the stay than on the size of the room, and the one single travellers take when they are staying a month. The shared pool and garden are a few steps from the door, and the front desk answers at three in the morning.

Rahya sits in Kutuh, on the quiet eastern side of the Bukit peninsula. Pandawa Beach — a wide bay behind limestone cliffs, calm enough to swim most days — is 2.2 km away. Green Bowl, reached by a staircase and usually near-empty on a weekday, is 2.9 km.
