5 Villas With Private Pools In Malaysia You Should Splurge On
As we sit in front of our laptops when most of the office is away on holiday, checking our Instagram feed and turning green with envy looking at all our friends' travel pictures, we figured we'd check out some amazing places we will hopefully go when it is our turn to go on leave.
We make ourselves feel better by thinking about how crowded all the holiday destinations are, and dreaming of sipping on champagne in a private pool somewhere instead.
Since we were already doing the research for our next indulgent holiday that we're unlikely to be able to afford, we might as well as share it with you guys.
Just don't forget to tag us on your Instagram posts when you do go to these places so we can live vicariously through you.
