Shangri-La Rasa Sayang, Penang
Overview
Shangri-La’s Rasa Sayang Resort and Spa is traditional Malay in style and is nestled along Penang’s legendary Batu Ferringhi Beach. This iconic beach resort is undoubtably one of the most luxurious in Penang and its 304 well-appointed rooms and suites help relax guests within minutes of arrival.
Within the resort, thirty acres of lush gardens help highlight the island’s tropical nature. Century-old rain trees offer shade to those below, whilst also providing the perfect venue for a romantic proposal or an exchange of vows.
Rooms and suites are split across two iconic wings; the Garden Wing has been inspired by nature and features earthy tones and a citrus palette as well as energy-saving key cards and light systems. Designed with the more sophisticated traveller in mind, the Rasa Wing is set amongst the gardens and offers some of the most elegant and spacious accommodation in Penang. Rasa Wing has just 115 guest rooms and a far more relaxed atmosphere.
A 9-hole, par 3, pitch-and-putt golf course is available within the resort and is extremely well crafted. With holes ranging from 25 to 64 metres, golfers can play with just a pitching wedge and a putter. For those not interested in golf, the resort can arrange a three-hour walk through the island’s pristine rainforest. Walking shoes are required but it’s an experience you’ll never forget!
Back in resort, three restaurants and two bars will help ease any hunger pangs whilst a visit to CHI, The Spa, will help relieve your mind and body of all stresses. Within CHI, 11 spa villas and a yoga pavilion allow guests to relax in their own personal space and enjoy traditional Chinese and Malay treatments.
With Shangri-La’s Rasa Sayang Resort & Spa being just an hour’s flight from Kuala Lumpur, it is the perfect resort for a luxury twin centre holiday.
