Stay: Pullman Kuala Lumpur City Centre Hotel & Residences
Room: One-Bedroom Apartment with breakfast

The family’s adventure began in the heart of Kuala Lumpur, staying in spacious apartment-style accommodation ideally suited to families who want room to relax.

Located opposite Pavilion Mall and within walking distance of iconic landmarks such as the Petronas Towers, Pullman KLCC offered the perfect base for sightseeing, shopping and dining.

Highlights of their stay included:

• Separate living, dining and sleeping areas
• Fully equipped kitchen for flexibility
• Access to the rooftop pool, tropical gardens and fitness facilities
• Breakfast served in the exclusive Living Space lounge

This first stop gave the family a gentle introduction to Malaysia’s capital – blending city excitement with comfort and convenience.

"When my husband and I were planning our 'familymoon', we knew we wanted to go to Malaysia, my best friend's Mum is from there, and I had wanted to go for a long time. However, I was a little daunted about taking our 5-year-old daughter to an exotic country. I could not have been more wrong. We had the holiday of a lifetime, made even better by the meticulous planning and support of James from
Tailormade Escapes!"

From City to Island – Private Transfer & Ferry to Pangkor Laut

After checking out, the family enjoyed a private transfer from Kuala Lumpur to Marina Island Jetty, followed by a scheduled ferry across turquoise waters to their next destination – a true tropical retreat.

Pangkor Laut Island – Private Island Paradise

Stay: Pangkor Laut Resort
Room: Tropical Garden Villa with breakfast

Set on a private island surrounded by ancient rainforest, Pangkor Laut Resort delivered total escapism.

The family's Tropical Garden Villa placed them close to the pool and activity centre, while immersing them in nature – waking each morning to birdsong, sea breezes and lush greenery.

Why this stop was special:

• Frequently named among the world’s most beautiful beaches – Emerald Bay
• Award-winning Spa Village
• Multiple dining venues offering international and Southeast Asian cuisine
• Included land and speedboat transfers

This was all about slowing down, reconnecting and enjoying island life at its finest.

"We travelled for three weeks, to four different destinations and all without a hitch! Direct flights from London to Kuala Lumpur, greeted at the airport by a driver who safely delivered us to the hotel. We spent three days enjoying the delights of Kuala Lumpur. We did all the usual tourist bits! And then had a wonderful driver pick us up from the hotel and drive us to the ferry port to catch a ferry to Pangkor Laut. Wow, at that point, we had never experienced wildlife like it! The island was amazing, and we loved every minute of our six-day stay."

We were fortunate enough to stay at the Ritz Carlton, the best hotel my family and I have stayed in! We have never experienced hospitality like it. The staff were exceptional, the scenery was breathtaking, and the wildlife was truly amazing. I feel so blessed to have been able to stay there for eight nights!"
