Other highlights include our travellers tale, a report on Bali spas from our archives and a listing of the month's top festivals and events.
Terengganu, Malaysia
Get free nights at one of Malaysia's most exclusive resorts, the Tanjong Jara on the country's unspoilt eastern coast. The design was inspired by the indigenous 'istanas', elegant, wooden palaces that indulged the Malay Sultans of long ago and exudes an ambiance of an ancient palace, an experience that is 'unmistakably Malay'. The resort facing the South China Sea and the beautifully-appointed guest rooms overlook a long stretch of beach.
