The Hotel Shaded by frangipani trees and coconut palms by day and softly lit at night, the gardens are laid to lawns between different pavilions for sleeping, lounging and dining. In the centre is the dramatically tall and open-sided structure from which Kemah Tinggi high pavilion derives its name. The villa s architect, Glenn Parker, designed its soaring columns and dramatic roof so that they would frame the views across the sparkling pool and lawns towards the green rice fields and crashing surf of the Indian Ocean.
