...several small, distinctive hotels in Malaysia that make a refreshing change from the cookie-cutter resorts where the ranks of sun lounges and sunburned bodies seem to stretch on forever. With only 50 rooms, the hotel is a labor of love for its owners - and therein lies much of its charm. The two-story buildings, with their louvered shutters and wide verandas, are set amid wide lawns and behind a screen of casuarina trees that block out the sprawling modern resorts lining much of the rest of the beach.

Anyone who has ever read a novel or watched a film—or at least those of us with even a shred of imagination—will spend at least a few moments casting himself as the protagonist at the end of a journey and instinctively wonder...
