The five-star Shangri-La Rasa Sayang is a pretty impressive property spread out across 30 acres along the famous Batu Ferringhi beach. The whole hotel has been fitted out in traditional Minangkabau style - in fact, in line with this, the hotel hosts a time-honoured Malay musical performance every Friday outside its Rasa Wing lobby. We love the five-storey Rasa Wing: built in 1973, it has an exclusive feel, offering guests little extras such as afternoon tea, all day cocktails and evening canapes. This side of the hotel is home to Ferringhi Grill, an award-winning, fine-dining restaurant, plus the property also plays host to five other restaurants and bars. Contributing to the hotels all-inclusive feel, guests also have access to four other food and drink venues (including an ice cream parlour) at the four-star Shangri-La Golden Sands Resort next door.
