At the foot of Mount Santubong, near the alluring Sarawak's capital, Kuching, is the seafront Cove 55: a place to completely retreat from the rest of the world. This holiday-home-turned-boutique-hotel, with just 28 luxurious rooms, is currently the top-rated property in Kuching on TripAdvisor – and the winner of a Travellers' Choice 2022 Award. Take a stroll through the perfectly manicured gardens and you'll find pristine white exteriors and a 30-metre saltwater infinity swimming pool suspended above the South China Sea, where you'll be tempted to soak until sunset.
