Your final option for Langkawi in terms of a Malaysia beach resort with private pool is The Westin. This 5-star resort is a great option if you are looking for a private pool but don’t want to be in a secluded location.

While it is still tucked away on its own private (and nice) beach, it is also just minutes drive from the centre of Kuah, the major town on the island and the jetty off the island. This makes it easy to get out and eat and shop elsewhere if you choose which is not usually available from other hotels in Malaysia with private pool as they are often in such secluded locations.

There are many room types available at the Westin, but the best ones are definitely the holiday villa with private pool. There is a range of villas from one to five bedrooms that all come with their own private pool. We particularly love the one bedroom beachfront pool villas.

Borneo Options For A Malaysia Resort With Private Pool

Heading to eastern Malaysia? Don’t worry. Borneo has some great private pool resort Malaysia options too! Find them below.

Bunga Raya Island Resort, Gaya Island, Sabah Review

Address: Polish Bay, Gaya Island, Tunku Abdul Rahman Park, Kota Kinabalu

When it comes to resorts with a swimming pool in room, Malaysia has plenty to choose from. If you’re looking for a villa in Sabah, you can’t go past Bunga Raya Island Resort & Spa, located on Gaya Island. This island resort not only offers a villa with a plunge pool but being surrounded by sandy white beaches and lush jungle, the location is beautiful too.

This Malaysia island beach resort has 48 spacious hillside villas which are basic yet include all the modern day comforts. The plunge pool villas are a spacious 87smq and have spectacular views of the South China Sea. The villas also include air-conditioning, tea and coffee making facilities and TV. Villas can accommodate 1-2 people, right up to the 3 bedroom villas which can accommodate larger groups.

The resort’s facilities include a swimming pool, on-site restaurant, a day spa and gym. Other activities include kayaking, snorkelling and jungle trekking.

Gaya Island is relatively easy to reach being just 25 minutes by boat from the Jesselton Point Ferry Terminal which is 11 kilometres from the Kota Kinabalu Airport. This is a top option when looking for resorts with private pool in Malaysia in Borneo.

Conclusion?

If you’re looking for a villa located on a secluded tropical island that has your own private swimming pool, you really can’t beat the Bunga Raya Island Resort.

The only downside in my view is that given the secluded location, there is no other option when it comes to dining and you will need to eat all meals at the resort.

Borneo Beach Villas, Kota Kinabalu Review

Address: Unit 161, Precinct Dillenia Nexus Residence Karambunai Off Sepanggar Bay, Karambunai, Sabah,

If you’re looking for an apartment with private pool, Malaysia has several options. The beautiful Borneo Beach Villa in Kota Kinabalu is located on 6 kilometres of sandy white beach and features villas with their own private pools.

Located 36 kilometres North East of Kota Kinabalu, it is 45 minutes by car from Kota Kinabalu International Airport.

Choose between a Pool Villa (two or three bedrooms with backyard pavilion) or a Spa Suite (one or two bedrooms). A self-catering service apartment concept, all units provide spacious, furnished and comfortable bedrooms, living room, dining area, two separate bathrooms and a fully-equipped kitchen.

Each unit has a pavilion/balcony and Jacuzzi (and steam bath in the Spa Suite), while the pool villas each have their own private lap pool!

The resort also has an outdoor pool. However, you will have to go to the nearby Lagoon Park if you wish to do any water sport activities or cruise adventures. If you need some retail therapy, three popular shopping centres are within 30 minutes’ drive from the resort.

Conclusion?

The resort is driving distance to the hustle and bustle of Kota Kinabalu with its choice of shopping centres, sight-seeing and local delicacies. It makes for a great base camp and place to relax when you feel like spending the day ‘at home’ with your own private pool.

The only downside is that resort itself doesn’t have anything in the way of on-site activities, water sports, tours or restaurants, but these can all be found close-by.
